Columbus never set foot in North America, by the way. I'm American, neither German nor English....but I suppose you're asking my ethnic origin. It's Anglo-Saxo-Viking-Pictish-Briton if you must know, and I'm neither proud nor ashamed of it. Besides, it has no place in a discussion over legal vs. illegal immigration.
I have no problem with Italians or with Americans who claim to be "Italian". You're the one who's got a problem, calling on ancient history when we're talking about today, here and now. You wouldn't bring up ancient history if you only merely had a problem with someone's immigration status.

You never stand for anything, so in the end you will have stood for nothing. Live free or die in America, I says. BTW, I don't need a history lesson from wiseacres like you, I had plenty getting a minor in college. So I guess Columbus DIDN'T discover America then huh? doh, it's all our turf. Except for that glorious little Hispanic Island paradise called Cuba, right? And Venezuela, they're just like the US right? And all the rest including Mexico, puh-leeze. You are as obtuse as you are obstinate. Remind me not to waste bandwidth on you again.
