As the grandson of a pair of illegal immigrants from Spain who snuck into the country from Cuba I’m a bit miffed by this whole “real American” movement. So effing what? You can trace your lineage back what, 4 or 5 generations, 6 maybe? The families of the very first settlers here can only claim 9-10 generations, this entire country is nothing but immigrants, except for the Native Americans and even they only came across the Bering land bridge about 10,000 years ago /.

Immigrants are the ones who built this country, now as the population is aging and we lack enough younger workers to pay for the retiring peoples Medicare and social security we want to slam the door and keep them out? Who the eff came up with that suicidal idea?

We NEED immigration, not just for their payments into social security but also for the fresh blood and fresh ideas. This idiocy that is being promoted now of “protecting our turf” is just that, Idiocy. Let’s hope that wiser minds, or at least the Constitution prevails.
