Immigration?

I'm happy.
My ancestors came to America in 1660--just forty years after the Mayflower landed. They were illegal immigrants, because they were from Prussia, and they were settling in an English colony. Only the English were allowed, of course.
Nobody seemed to care. They were brothers, the two of them. They got off the ship, and set up a little store.
I wonder how the local Delaware and Pawnee indians liked it?
"Silly foreigners!" "Maybe they won't stay long," I bet they said.
Later on, each of those boys married girls from France. They too had been smuggled in, because they too were not English--and Pennsylvania was only for William Penn's followers.
But they grew families.
And their families grew families.
And now, 16-generations, and 400 years later, we're still saying that only the select few can come in.
Maybe we should all go home. But what happened to my ancestoral home, Prussia. Oh yeah, it isn't there anymore. It was taken over by immigrants from Germany--and Poland. Maybe I should send them home too.
If we keep following that logic, we all should return to the Garden of Eden--wherever that was. Oh, yeah. Foriegners now live there.
Doggone those foreigners! Why can't they all go home? Oh, yeah. We are home. Home is where our family is.

i think it's perfectly fine when you come here LEGALLY and go through the whole legal process. =]

in north carolina, we've had 2 or 3 drunk-driving illegal immigrants crash into people and killing them.

we're supposed to respect THEM? what about our right to live?

I'm happy withit as long as you you are here legally, have a clean record, money while you are here to support your Living expenses and and if you live here also a will to assimulate into the community and participate. Compared to the western world it is not that expensive to live here. Most Australians are really friendly and out going! The greatest issue many Australians may have of immigrants is a lack of respect from them and the assumption of we owe immigrants financially in assistance. Not saying that this you however, it's just heads up because it happens!

P.S If you are here, WELCOME!

Oh, just come to the U.S. It will be a pleasant change to have some Aussie speaking English! You don't need to bother to leave when your Visa expires because no one else does and they can stay, so why not you?
