"real americans"?
Answer:
I am just an immigrant from Mexico, Just like many others. But I am very thankful to the US because it gave me the opportunities that my country of origin could not give me. At the same time, I believe that immigrants contribute a lot to the economy, the culture and the diversity in this country. Immigrants make this a better country.
Ah i like this sort of question yeah i'm a german-american. My ancestory also includes some native american blood though but mostly german. I do prefer to just think of myself just as an american though.
why do you care?
Oh yes, when you have no good answer, they always go back to, whos country is it really. Keep in mind, even native Americans migrated here.
Hmm.
I am a Native American, i was born in the states. Anybody who gains citizenship is a real American. If you were to know some folks who have immgrated you might just notice that they are more American than "Native Americans".
America is an idea, it is an Ideal.
I agree.What is an American? This country does not belong to any single race.It has had people coming from all over the world.Thats what makes us so unique and diverse.What other country in the world can say that, besides Canada, we are the great melting pot, I hope we never lose that.
any native american would say that the land belongs to no one because no one OWNS land. It belongs to the earth..
Born here.
Seems to me that the Native Americans Migrated from Asia,
Why don't you ask them
Many many many generations ago...some people (you could call them my ancestors) came to the United States.
I was born here. I am not an immigrant. I am by definition NATIVE AMERICAN.
I am native to this country (I am not frm anywhere else) and I am an AMERICAN!
I am not a hyphenated anything.
AMERICAN.
And another thing.even the "Native Americans" that you are referring to came from some where.so they are immigrants too. (I would get into all that but that would go into to a whole anthropology thing.so I will keep it simple for you)
here we go again. my ancestors came here in 1620, i have native American in me. and i may not be full blooded indian. i am a native American to this country.
America is where my family is from.
To be an American is to believe in your country and what it is suppose to stand for. An American loves it and stands by it with absolute loyalty.
Our government is another story, but do not confuse that with Americans, whom either swore their allegiance by becoming a legal citizen, or those that were born proud in the good ole USA!
I am just AMAZED at how you can be so confused at such a young age.
You are ignorant beyond your years.
God ...,and then, my mother
Maternal side is English, Paternal side Scottish.
far back as I can remember I am from here. The good ole U.S.A.
Not sure what your motive is for asking this, but rest assured that I and my family are here LEGALLY. So if you are implying that we should welcome ILLEGAL ALIENS here because we are all not native Americans, you are mistaken. NO AMNESTY! NO MORE ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Yes, what you say is partly true, but even native American Indians also came from somewhere else previously. Also, back in the 1800s, there were not the laws that we have now. In fact, believe it or not, all countries have laws regarding immigration, so the bad old USA is not the only country to do this. Guess what? Even Mexico has some pretty strict laws regarding immigration and some far sterner punishments for illegal immigration than does the USA. So, don't try to paint the USA as so terribly hard on illegal immigrants, because, in fact, they are among the far easiest towards illegal immigrants of any other country in the world. I wish it were otherwise because then there wouldn't be so many of them jumping our borders.
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
America, many many generations.
My ancestors are from Germany, Ireland, Scotland and Denmark. I, however was born here, I was raised here, I went to school here, I work here, I live here, I obey all my countries laws, I am loyal to my country and no other, I support my countries president and soldiers and I pay all my taxes and bills. I am a real American. To say that I am not is just another attempt to take the real focus off the immigration debate. Nice try though.
