English is the global language of
business, technology, science, and much of the world's finest
literature and philosophy of the last 500 years. Yet these
immigrants -- legal and illegal -- issued their citizenship demands
to Americans in Spanish. |
|
Among their demands was
their requirement that the US give the estimated 11 million illegal
immigrants citizenship. |
|
Both illegal and legal immigrants
should learn that in civilized America, arguments are debated,
discussed, reviewed, analyzed, and voted. Shouting, screaming,
demanding are not the American way -- except on cable TV programs. |
|
The marchers and their leaders are
demanding that they be given legal citizenship with rights and
amnesty. They apparently dismiss the efforts of the hundreds of
millions of immigrants who struggled, escaped, and emigrated to the
US. They then waited while learning and meeting all requirements
before being granted the privilege of US citizenship. It appears
that illegal immigrants do not have regard for those who follow the
laws and regulations. This leads clear-thinking Americans to believe
that illegal immigrants will not make good citizens. |
|
Illegal is not legal. It is
illegal. Illegal is not right. Illegal is wrong. |
|
These
immigrants -- both those legal and the approximately 11 million
illegal -- should prove they are worthy of US citizenship
by learning English and accepting all consequences and requirements.
Illegal immigrants -- those whose first act and continued actions
were illegal -- should not be given benefits better than those given
to legal immigrants. They should also demonstrate their worth by
learning that in America people contact their Congressional
representatives to make their views known. |
|
Street protests and
marches and school walkouts are for under-developed countries where
people have the time to protest and march rather than go to work or
school. |
