An American speaks out on illegal immigration

The lost voices in the debate on illegal immigration.
These damned illegal immigrants! They come here completely at their own whim, with no regard for the people who liver here. Invariably, they end up having children here and inviting their family and friends over as well, legally or not. These people take advantage of the generosity of the American people and use up the resources of this great country, though they have no right to them. They don't even learn to speak our language! All that they really want to do is remake America into a new version of their old country. As their numbers grow, it will be impossible to stop them. All Americans must stand up and fight this hostile invasion!

Geronimo here, to remind you that this continent has had an illegal immigration problem since 1492. For 400 years, your ancestors were very much against Americans fighting illegal immigration because THEY were the illegal immigrants! None of us invited them!! They labeled me enemy number 1 for doing what the "Minutemen of the south" are now doing, defending our borders - America for Americans! Unfortunately, you people fail to see two important points on this issue:
1. You, the offspring/benefactors of illegal immigrants, now wish to keep out all other illegal immigrants - it's called hypocrisy.
2. You are being overwhelmed by huge numbers of illegal immigrants much the way your ancestors overwhelmed we true Americans - it's called ironic justice.

Hey, I tried to keep the Mexicans out too, but your ancestors put me in chains and locked me up. Sucks to be you now!!
