The realy key is who is an american?

“An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German,
Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek.

An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or
Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.

An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim.

In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of
Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.

When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.

Americans welcome the best of everything…the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.

The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America .

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. It’s been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American!

All you have to do is update your skill set, work harder and compete. Isn’t the whole nation built on concept “capitalism”?

At least you don’t have “thick” accent. You as a citizen have access to many resources than immigrants who are on visas with limited abilities.

Stop whining please!

I need to point this out but your ancestors came to US,illegally,by today’s standards. Now Indians and Chinese are coming in,legally and whopping your ass. Cry as much as you want but you Americans (referring specifically to the white ones cribbing like a crybaby about how nice your dads lived in the 50s under Jim Crow laws, a time when your dads’ inherent steak and A1 sauce dumbness could be covered through exploitation of non-whites) are going to be redundant soon. The Mexicans will do all the menial jobs and the Indians and Chinese are going to do the smart jobs. That is because you guys can neither use your hands and earn a day’s honest labor nor can you can add two and two. So how will you keep yourself occupied?

By inbreeding in your trailers, watching American Idol and living off tax dollars Indians and Chinese contribute to the USA (since they have the jobs).We do not mind of course paying for your extra mayo and cheese fries since we as Indians and Chinese feel a karmic obligation to support God’s dumb creations.

And oh those dumbasses who talk about our English being not upto the mark, do teach your vice president to learn to spell “potato” and your President to pronounce “nuclear” and get one sentence in straight before pointing fingers at others.

Now enjoy.

Consider the possible scenario; Your Fortune 100 decides to stop hiring all these pesky foreigners whose thick accents put a damper on your average workweek. Since your Fortune 100 would also end up paying the awesome salary for your insignificant job so that you could afford your car payments their costs would be higher than par globally. Soon enough, your giant corporation would flounder (General Motors rings a bell?) and they’d either 1) go into bankruptcy and fold or, more likely, 2) get taken over by a private equity firm which would quickly identify you for the gigantic redundancy that you are and ship your job off to India. Either ways, you suffer. I guess now you realize why you’re still paid your meagre little salary. Your capacity for argument clearly justifies it.

Bob, your wage argument is wrong. I can assure you most IT people at the I-485 stage(do you even know that I-485 is?) get paid a lot more than you do. And the companies are willing to paid it. Also the wage requirements are set by the government.(like you said, to make it fair for people like you.) If you still don’t like it, contact your favorite congressman.

Wait until we pull the plug on citizenship applications and leave you all sitting around crying because we have the one thing you never will, A VOTE!

Good on ya, BOB!
