illegal immigration ( Archived) (361)

It's true..

In Illinois they have are giving more and more resources to teach English as a second language in grammar schools. Why is this? Is this not America???

Are they going to sing the national anthem?

i don't like the illeagle part, they should go through the process, i have immigrant friends who did, and they find it offensive they went through the process for years and came here, and these others can do it, and nothing is said nor done.

as far as our troops going to other countries illeagley....they don't....thats all i will say, and check around...there is other nations with troops here...including germany and japan

LOL..I don't know...

All I know is a vast amount of time and resources are being spent to that, taking away from other areas of education for the "english" speaking students.

Not only that...the ones who come here.."legally" go through the discrimination too because they are always under suspicion of being an "illegal".

i bet the indians wish they would have felt this way at plymouth rock




but yes something needs to be down

the world hates this country so much that a lot of their people wanna come here

hhmmmmmmmm



stopit yer contridicting yourself

---

i am not



gggrrrrrya know ya are

you make a good point, they hate us and our way of living so much, they want to come here and be just like us.............maybe they want somebody to hate them too..............we are special, hated and envied................

Yes...pretty scary to think that there may be people getting the opportunity to dictate the governing laws of this country when they themselves broke laws to even get the opportunity to do it.

A pal of mine whose wife is Iranian, happily married for 30 years, sent me this: PART 1

Subject: Australia today, England tomorrow?

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia and her Queen at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his Ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state, and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you", he said on National Television.

"I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia: one the Australian law and another Islamic law that is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia law and have the opportunity to go to another country, which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option", Costello said.

Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked to move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off. Basically people who don't want to be Australians, and who don't want, to live by Australian values and understand them, well then, they can basically clear off", he said.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.

Quote: "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians."

PART 2.





"Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture."

"We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us."

"If the Southern Cross offends you, or you don't like "A Fair Go", then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. By all means, keep your culture, but do not force it on others.

"This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, the right to leave.
