Not a joke but did not know where to put it. I believe this to be true!
Minorities
We need to show more sympathy for these people. * They travel miles in the heat. * They risk their lives crossing a border. * They don't get paid enough wages. * They do jobs that others won't do or are afraid to do. * They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a different language. * They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day. * I'm not talking about illegal Mexicans ~ I'm talking about our troops! Doesn't it seem strange that so many are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegals, but don't support our troops? Wouldn't it be great if we took the $360,000,000,000 (that's billion) we spend on illegals every year, and spend it on our troops!!!

You know, we all complain about the IMMIGRANT problem in this country. No matter if it is Mexican's, Canadian's, African's, Iranian's, ext. or whoever, we all complain about them. We always complain on how this countries money is spent to help support these new immigrants coming into this country. I for one agree on that, but lets look at the "BIG PICTURE" shell we.
Krank said it right there, and I can probably say that everyone on trapboard is an immigrant. Unless you are a full blooded Native American, then your an immigrant. I am 1/4 Cherokee, I am not full blooded Cherokee, so that considers me as an immigrant. Although I was born in this country, as so was my mother and father, and their mother and father and their mother and father, I am still an immigrant. The only TRUE AMERICAN'S in this country are Native American's.
So the next time you think about the immigrant PROBLEM in this country, think about your ancestors, and how they took it away from the Native American's.
Hell, this country is ran by immigrants.

Yes, I do believe that any military personal that has served behind lines "should by all means" be set up for life for protecting this country, including their family. But this country is so screwed up, it will never be that way. It's been that way sense Columbus stumbled on to this country and it will always be that way.
If the Native Americans would happen to take this country back over, it might have a chance. But then again, the Native American's has a grudge on us, so that will never happen because our government will never allow it.
This country isn't about pride, it's all about greed.

We need a hero these days and a service veteran is the closest hero you can find.
Thomas Jefferson was probably one of the smartest Presidents ever. In his farewell address, he told Americans to avoid "Entangling Alliances" and we didnt do that.
The Sioux Indians have 100% legal ownership of the Black Hills and the Federal Gov says it is true but the thought of giving it back is impossible. The Sioux refused a buy-out offer and the case is still on the docket. The Paha Sapa is holy ground. The discovery of gold resulted in troops seizing the area and Deadwood popped up. Funny town because nobody had jurisdiction there. The Feds couldnt touch it because it was illegally built in Indian territory so the townspeople were their own goverment.
Andrew Jackson wanted the white man to stay East of the Misssissippi but he forced the genocide of the Creek Indians back East. Davey Crockett was there and described it as a brutal massacre of the semi-civilized Creek Indians.
The Osage Indians were forced out of Missouri in 1820. They had towns up and down the major rivers and farmed and were peaceful.
Ft. Scott was ordered to be built close to the Missouri border and occupied with troops to protect settlers who were trepassing into Kansas territory.
The Southeast corner of Kansas was actually purchased from the Cherokee nation after the Civil war.
Sitting Bull told newspaper reporters that it was sad that whites did not take care of the poor. He gave his earnings from the Wild West show to the homeless children that he saw outside the show.
My Great great told stories of Indians coming to his house and eating dinner.(pre civil war) They were from the Indian Territories and on a hunting spree to get through the winter. He said they didnt talk but ate all the food you offered.
I could go on and on as local history is interesting to me. I think I will watch my favorite movie tonight. Little Big Man.

My folks are retired and make it a point to travel twice a year. Right now they are in Guatamola. My Dad goes on and on about the lessons Americans could learn from Europeans. The way they farm and what vehicles they drive. Americans eat the most unwholesome food on the planet. We waste all our resoarces like there is no tommorrow. Alot of construction and farming is done by hand and anyone that doesnt have a job is just lazy.(or disabled) You are respected as an American when you travel but ONLY because of our military/political might.

If you are going to carry it back to the Native Americans...from what I understand, they are also all immigrants, supposedly coming across the land bridge, so they are not native to what we now call the United States.

That might be pushing it a little far!! In that case, everyone in the world that does not live in the Olduvai Gorge in Africa is an darn immigrant. That's where the first ape stood up and learned to trap!! haha Yes, the first native Americans drifted across the land bridge 10-15,000 years ago plus or minus. CNN and FOX news weren't there otherwise the would have turned around and gone back!!!

The problem isn't immigrants, it's ILLEGAL immigrants, and the liberals open handed giveaways.
