My ancestors were settlers who came to a land that had nothing but hundreds of tribes warring with each other, who hadn't even figured out the wheel. Don't ever compare those people to the ones who come here when everything is done already and if they don't make it they can just stick their hand out to the government. Maybe it hurts your feelings, but it isn't the same thing. Even immigration in the early 20th century was different. Those were people escaping brutal governance, and they expected NOTHING from us or from our government, except the freedom to try to build a life. Don't you dare tell me that's all that immigrants today expect, because that's a load of shit.... especially if you're talking about illegal "immigrants."
