You have every right to be here, and to be immeensely proud of your sacrifices. America is a land of immigrants... legal immigrants, who came here to assimilate into American society, to give up allegiance to their country and become Americans.
So many in government have forgotten what being an American citizen means. Ours is a history and a spirit of sacrifice and of self-determination. It is a tradition of independence, of self-reliance, of hard work, of courage and of responsibility. We are a civilization built on principles; most importantly, we are a legacy of freedom and a society of laws. THIS IS OUR CULTURE, and it is as unique and as deserving of respect as any other. To become an American means to stand up in unwavering support and in reverence of these essential things, to belong to something that is larger and more powerful than any individual, and to accept this culture as your own. It means not a surrender of your heritage, but an integration of your way of life into that which is American.
immensely... stupid fingers!
