Your ancestors snuck in. They were not invited. They were not approved of by the people who already inhabited this land. Your ancestor's decendants (that's you and your kids! Ponder it my friend), need to go back through the process of gaining entry just like any other immigrant. Why not? You think you're special because you broke in before World War II? Nope. You did not jump through the required hoops which you support so strenuously. So jump. How high? Ha. Higher. You love pulling this crap on others; how would you like it when it is you and your teenagers? Hmmm?I didn't say that at all! There was absolutely nothing illegal about immigrants who came here before WWII! As long as they had boat passage, a job and were in good health, they were allowed to stay. THAT MAKES THEM LEGAL! And furthermore, they didn't sneak in here! Many came through Ellis Island. Have you ever been there? I have! It's quite an educational process! Admission was not guaranteed even though they spent a week or more on a ship. If the immigration agent thought somone in the family looked ill, they were detained for days, weeks or even months before being cleared, and in some cases sent back.
I said it before, and I'll say it again, I believe this Armenian family is being discriminated against because THEY ARE NOT MEXICAN! I am not in favor of them overstaying their visas, but they are being made an example in a reverse racism plot because they are white and because they didn't come across our southern border. But this family originally came here bearing valid visas. They didn't sneak in. They just didn't go back when their visas expired.
I do not hate immigrants, and I think it is wrong of you to make that generalization. I want all immigrants to stand in line, obtain the proper paperwork and quit cutting in line by sneaking across the border. And I think that once their illegal status is uncovered they should be sent back immediately.
The problem is that our government is not committed to stopping illegal immigration or immigration fraud. If they were we would
Replace easily forged paper social security cards with a tamper proof national id card.
Actively and thoroughly seek and stop counterfeiting government documents used by illegals to fool prospective employers.
Increase border patrol agents along our southern border.
Encourage cooperation between ICE and local police to identify illegals and deport them when discovered.
Unfortunately our government isn't really concerned about solving this problem.
National ID? WTF? You think you are entitled to be a citizen of America, when your own ancestors came here illegally? Snuck in without permission or invite? You yourself are an illegal alien. I should report you to Homeland Security/ ICECUBE for deportation. Oh, wait, do you only hate Mexican immigrants? Where did your people come from in 1600...Spain?
