Opinion

Country belongs to us, not to illegals

Posted January 20, 2008 10:00 pm

One more opinion on illegal immigrants: Illegals must adapt, not the citizens of this country. Take it or leave it.

I am tired of this country worrying about these people and whether we are offending them or their culture.

This country has been developed over a few hundred years on the blood and sweat by men and women who have fought to keep this country and our culture free.

We speak English as our nation's language. Not Spanish, Arabic, Russian Chinese, or any other language. If you wish to become a part of this great country, you should learn our language.

This is our country. We will give you the chance to become a part, but you must obey our laws and respect our way of life. If you don't, then I encourage you to take advantage of one of our great freedoms: the right to leave.
