Why do people use Ellis Island immigrants to look down on todays illegal immigrants?

Because that is what they are! Oh, and by the way there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant, they are only scumbag illegal aliens. An immigrant is someone who comes here legally and applies for citizenship.

And to be a citizen of this country you have to come here in good faith and assimilates themselves to us and our country. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here.

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

We sure don't want these scumbag illegal aliens like in this video here, watch it and you may even understand what I mean. Nothing racist about it, we are just fed up with these kind of people being here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Equ42IOqE...

Well in part you are mistaken. Some illegals DO pay taxes. All the ones I used to hang out with but no longer hang out with all paid their taxes.

You don't need a social security number to pay taxes with. You only need a tax ID number. The IRS doesn't care if someone is legal or not.

They just want their money. So when the tax stimulous checks came rolling around my friends never got one. They got letters stating their names and social security numbers didn't match.

Also when finding a job they had 5 dependants to get most of their paychecks back with less taxes taken out. That way if they ever got caught they would have most of their money already. People say they are leaches for gaining free school lunches and eduation, other poor people's benefits too.

Mostly people are upset that how they live is different so that they get most of their money back when we have to pay taxes. For those who do not pay taxes they still get all their money from exemptions. So if they make $8 an hour and if I made $15 they still end up getting to keep more of their income since it's not going to taxes.

So yes they look like they make less on paper but in reality they bring home more money each month than law abiding citizens.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
