New citizens are Americans. As Americans we have many rights and responsibilities. However, ' breaking into America' is like breaking into a bank---not the right way to enter a country or a bank. Citizens protect America and speak up for America. Our language is English. Our government services are paid for by us. Not long ago we saw Chinese students demonstrating for freedom in China--- killed by governement bullies a few years back. They were waving U.S. articles that established our democracy. They crave freedom. They tried to change China, and gave their lives...much like our own patriots have done. I deeply respect those Chinese students.
"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom."
--Alexis de Tocqueville
Freedom isn't free, and equality must be balanced with unique potential and diverse abilities and giftedness to keep America "A shining city on a hill...." We have light and we have salt to flavor the planet....money isn't everything. --Rae Hart Anderson, candidate for the Minnesota Senate.
