Reply #5: Personally..I applaud anyone finding their way to a better life..

leaving their homeland for a better life, and more respect as a human being and future for their families. Yes I understand what brings people to America, legally or illegally.

However...I am feeling a bit trampled upon and just a bit more disrespected when my english language is demeaned, my jobs are handed to those who will take them for half the wage, and those who raise their Nations flag over the flag of my country..the same one these people immigrated to for a better life...
Something is wrong with this picture..It a feeling of being slapped in the face..for the efforts to build this America, to its greatness, is so easily disregarded by a seeming grab for all it can give with not much of a sign of respect for the fact that it is still another Nation..different than the one they came from.

I'm seeing things pushed in the faces of American citizens in such a way that I fear will bring on more hostility and resentment.

Like the kid at your birthday party, the one that you invite but end up wondering why, because he wanted the biggest and first piece of cake, was the first to whine when he lost at the party games, you know..the loud one that demanded he get his way without consideration as to whose party it was nor whose home he was in..

Blend in man, not freakin take over.
Its causing more hostility than necessary.

Just my rant..
Save your breath when telling me about racism & the hardships of their governments...we struggle in this country also.
Appreciate what America has offered you, and you'll always have a place to call home..OK? Can I ever hear of the Hispanic population of immigrants appreciating what America has given them? I do not hear that. What I hear is demands and hostility gradually on the increase, It will at some point create fear, and that will create more harm than necessary.

Can anyone see my point?

Thanks for the space to rant.

Its simply an observation and its what I hear others talk about.
And I do see their point, also.
