122. Agree
My family lived in what is now the United States for a hell of a long time longer than any european has lived there. They were thrown back when Texas became part of the Union. Then in 1920 my greatgrandmother came back to live with her husband legally. They deported my AMERICAN born grandmother because they saw dark skin and just assumed she was here illegally. Why? Because of idiotic stereotypes like those given on this thread.
Hispanics were here first. They got thrown off their land and sent into the new Mexico. Then when they come back legally, they get lumped together and treated like shit because of racial stereotypes and racial profiling. And as for being a drain on resources? I know illegals and they don't take up ANY resources for fear of getting sent back. They even home school their kids. It's not the illegals fault we don't have national healthcare, it's the european men who run this country that are to blame.
