I see young Sudanese men at the grocery store, working soooo hard bagging groceries, working their hardest. One young man I talked to was so polite. It was obvious he was working hard to learn English, and he couldn't say enough lovely things about this country. He couldn't wait to become a citizen. Would this young man EVER think about hanging the Stars and Stripes upside down UNDER a Sudanese flag? Hell no. Yet do we have to press '2' for Sudanese?

I don't think there's one of us who have a problem with people wanting to come here from other countries LEGALLY. You work hard, learn English, learn it's history, pass the test and become a citizen. You then pay taxes and reap the rewards of 'the American Dream'.

What I have problems with are people who come her simply to get free welfare, health care (especially when 40 million American citizens go without), food stamps, and work, only to send all that back to Mexico or Honduras or whereever, and never feel the least bit of loyalty to the country that is giving all that to you.
