Illegal Immigrant's In US

I think that one of the things we need to go back to is something that somebody said in an earlier post. It had to do with wants and needs. The standard of living in a lot of third world countries is low because they work solely to sustain life. They make enough money to (ideally) to feed and cloth their families and have some sort of roof over their heads. Americans definitely have more wants and that's why I think we desire higher paying jobs. Illegal immigrants may be able to support a family in their country because they are worried about the bare necessities and not all the nice stuff that we take for granted and spend money on. That's a cultural difference. And, unfortunately, there is a very small percentage of our population that has the majority of the wealth. That leaves the rest of us scrambling when it comes time to pay the bills, find good jobs, etc. I share the same frustrations as most when I see that the US spends millions on aid to other countries and we don't take care of our own. I think that's part of the downside to being a superpower. We have to tend to outside interests because some [censored] ant country could really put us on our ear if we don't intervene. When all is said and done, I believe that this issue will go quietly away.

I never said they weren't established, I'm saying the name AMERICA wasn't. This was just a chunk of land, before it officialy picked up the United States of America name.
Yeah, many natives were slaughtered.
I'm saying, Indians should be called Native Americans. Back when this country was being settled, they could've been called indians, natives, whatever...the originals...
not their children, or childrens children....

I hate today when people are called, African-Americans, Native Americans, etc..etc.... either you're american, or your not... that simple..
