Message to all illegal immigrants
There are two ways to immigrate to the United States, legally and illegally. They are very different.
As a legal immigrant and naturalized citizen who submitted myself to the tedious, irritating and somewhat dehumanizing process of having the federal government approve my application for citizenship I would say this: if you are here illegally, instead of wasting time rallying in parks and demanding benefits you haven’t earned, start working on switching your status from illegal to legal. This will assure you many opportunities you will not otherwise have. One method of ensuring your eventual citizenship, if that is what you want, is to join the military and serve honorably. I know because I chose that path. If you aren’t here with the goal of legally becoming a citizen, then please go home.
This country isn’t about free rides, or it shouldn’t be. Learn English. Work on your education. Get your paperwork in order. Then you can protest and demand things. Until then, shut up. The American dream is reserved for people who try to live within the framework of the law.
To be fair, there are a lot of bad laws on the books. Perhaps you have found yourself inconvenienced by some of those. If so, then perhaps when you are done learning English and going through the naturalization process, you will find yourself motivated to become a lawyer. Maybe you will dedicate your life to government service and try to change things for the better. Until then, I’m tired of your whining. You are here illegally and therefore, you are not entitled to the same consideration that legal immigrants receive. If you cannot understand this, you do not belong here in any case.
Please consider moving to Waziristan where the idea of Rule of Law is not an important one. I’m sure they will welcome you.

As much as I admire your choice of a path to U.S. citizenship and agree with the sentiments in your message to illegal immigrants, I’m afraid that it’ll do no good. Illegal immigrants won’t see it because they don’t read English and have no intention of learning. The early demonstrations, in which demonstrators waved Mexican flags and shouted slogans in Spanish, should have made it plain that these folks are not immigrants; they’re invaders. They have no intention of becoming Americans; they intend to transform our country into a replica of Mexico. Legalizing any of them is tantamount to surrender, and we can expect the effeminate cowards in our Congress to do just that. You and I had better learn Spanish.
The ones who don’t bother to learn English will find themselves handicapped by their decision.
I already know enough Spanish to get by and I expect those who want to get by here to learn enough English to function usefully in society.
AMEN! I am 3rd generation in this country from Europe and each generation of my family busted their butt so that the next would have it better, (I am the first woman in my family to graduate college). Being of this same mindset, I am enraged when I see these protests. What makes this group of immigrants any different? Pay your dues, shut up or get the hell out!
Trevor, I have had illegal Mexicans tell me out right that they are here to take their country back. They are VERY defiant, when it doesn’t suit their purposes to be otherwise.
A decision has been made. Trevor’s post will appear in gringoman.com Comments to the May 01 post and cartoon, “Our First Mexican President.” (Hope no one objects, especially Trevor.)
This one makes sence “One’s first step in wisdom is to kuesstion everything – and one’s last is to come to terms with everything.”
