"Would you really hold it against a group of citizens, whose country you violated, to demand your deportation?"

Ah, GC, you are either uninformed or uncaring about the fact that most of the so-called "illegals" are Mexican people coming into land stolen from their ancestors by greedy Gringos who said they were on a "mission from god." Now doesn't that have a familiar ring to it?

The war to grab about one-half of Mexico was started by US president Polk who felt the US had a "manifest destiny" to go from sea to shining sea. Abraham Lincoln condemned the war, and Ulysses S. Grant, who fought in it, later called it "US aggression, pure and simple."

Patriotism in the US is another word for arrogant chauvinism. Rather than Mexicans, I say throw out the billionaires and their killer agents like Bush and Cheney.
