[Carnivore]

I'll never disparage anyone who comes here to earn an honest living, pay taxes, and respect the law. I confess that I do become a little... irked when someone residing in this country does not speak English (I have to deal with this at work almost daily), but usually the second generation, educated in American schools, is bilingual, so it tends to correct itself over time. These people we want. We need to make it easier for these people to get the documentation they need to stay and eventually become citizens. If they let their visas expire by accident, let it slide. I got caught driving with an expired license once. I just hadn't got around to renewing it. The magistrate told me to fix it and let me off. Same deal.

I can't truly hate the ones that come here illegally because we don't (from what I understand) make it easy for them to be here legally. They also irk me, however, because they do not pay taxes and are given free healthcare and other services. We need to take away their excuse that it's too hard to do things the right way. Once that's done, the ones who still come here illegally should be loaded onto a giant trebuchet and launched back over the border.

It's all well and good to have your little flag from the old country (in which your great grandparents actually lived) so long as it's in its proper place, below the flag of the USA.
