Let's start with the fact that if you're not a citizen then you have no loyalty to this country. Since someone's bound to jump on that, I do know immigrants who love this country and would be in line to join the military tomorrow if we had another Perl Harbor or 9/11 and they were allowed. The ones I know like that are counting the days till they can start the process of becoming citizens (a couple of them are down to a couple weeks).
On the other hand, I also know legal immigrants who are still fiercely loyal to their home countries and view America as nothing more than a place to make money. They'd have absolutely no problem with completely destroying our economy, government, or way of life if they or their home county benefited from doing so. Would you feel good about those people having a say in our government? I wouldn't. How do you tell the difference? Citizenship is a pretty good way most of the time. Generally someone who wants to go through that process is the type of immigrant who has made this his or her home. I'll admit it fails us from time to time, but I can think of no better way. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:ow...@threeravensconsulting.com] Sent: Monday, October 25, 2010 2:35 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: I think this is ridiculous... It makes sense, especially with how long it takes for people to become citizens. If it is going to effect them financially, why shouldn't they have a voice? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:330049 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
