who gave the better job offer instead of hiring local manpower? who
gave the H1B visa? (was it the INS by any chance?). who passed all
those stupid laws that on one hand encouraged employers to hire
foreign workers on one hand and placed restrictions on them to force
them to work for un-competitive wages (by making them go in for a
green card)? if its done by american lawmakers-then you shouldn't be
blaming foreigners for that.

you need to get used to the fact that foreigners don't necessarily
fall in the category of refugees -and that they too have a decent
standard of living.

Nobody seems to be more fluent in "no sense" than
you are. I'd love to read how you connect the cultivation
of tobacco with the English not expanding their culture
to this continent.

Nonsense. The Irish and Germans were hugely larger
than the comparaitve handful of Chinese. And, despite
my precautionary remark, you assert your ill-informed
reference. The facts are simply against you, yet you
continue to assert nonsense. Amazing.

Fascinating, of course, but what does that have to do
with their arriving here in *waves*? And by the way,
Nisei are second generation Japanese.

I have all kinds of qualifications for commenting on colonial
life. You evidently have no rebuttal to my facts. Keep trying.

You continue to fascinate, but do you have anything to
add about English colonials extending their culture
to this continent rather than fleeing from their culture?
Resist the urge to mention the price of rice in
China. That isn't relevant either. Thanks.

Certainly, by definition, anyone born on American soil to
American parents would be considered a native. But
to you, apparently, the child is an immigrant. That's
kind of silly of you, isn't it.

Actually I consider any citizen an American. Not to put too fine a point on
it, though, it's not clear whether you would. "Born on American soil to
American parents" could well exclude children born here to parents who are
immigrants who became citizens. That was a process quite a few million
people went through.

so all the kids of the first immigrants to the US were not natives, and
since they werent native, their kids werent native, etc etc etc.
So you are saying that if someone is here legally as a student, working, or
something else, and has a kid, that that kid is not a native US citizen?
Also please quit using the term Americans, since aparently you have
forgotten about central and south America.

Thanks to Congress' abdication of duty regarding enacting laws authorized,
and probably required, by the 14th Amendment, we have an "anchor baby"
boondoggle that is incredibly destructive to our culture, our economy and
the prospects for our future as a first-world power.

The key point here is that, due to a long-term, unrepaired technical
loophole, yes, they are technically "citizens." Yet it is wrong for anyone
to infer, from said govermental idiocy, that we are precluded from being
thoroughly disgusted by people who come here with the sole, unethical intent
to take advantage of such technicalities. Similarly, if someone
accidentally leaves a door unlocked, they are not precluded being pissed off
when they later discover they have been burglarized. They are also not
precluded from locking the door in the future.

It is high time that we "lock the door" on this anchor baby nonsense.

I'm sure I can speak for D. Long on this: Citizens of the United States of
America are known colloquially throughout the world as "Americans," so you
can kiss our collective asses if you choose to posit such incredibly banal
drivel.

In English, the term "Americans" generally does refer to those of the USA.
In other languages, such as Spanish, French and Portuguese, an American is
generally someone from "The Americas" although in the last few decades, it
has been common to refer, in the proper context, to those form the USA as
"Americans" as well.

The language being used is key to the worked used as a national identifier.

I well remember being in a college journalism class in Puerto Rico where I
was asked on the first day to say who I was and where I came from. I gave my
name and said "americano." The teacher responded by saying, "We are all
"americanos." You are "norteamericano."

There are radio stations called "Radio America" and newspapers called "El
Diario de las Americas" and similar things from Argentina to Mexico. They
are not referring to US citizens, I guarantee you.

no evidence. you can certainly believe so, but things are not

to be a good computer scientist, you need to have a little talent in
this field, if you study CS just because CS can help you get easy
money, it just hard to make that happen. even if you wont be replaced
by H1B, the one who doesnt ned H1B will replace you anyway

Good to see you're fascinated. Next we'll remind you of how you stated that

Please explain how the colonies mirrored the "culture of England."

It's fantastic that you contnue to be fascinated, except for the problem
that the point about extending culture was yours and not mine. That means
you should offer the evidence to back it up.

The "hoot" is that you seem to believe that the cultivation of
tobacco somehow cancels the practice of English culture. The
English also ate corn, a plant unknown in the Old World. In
your view, their doing so made them ... what? ... Mohawks?

So many sources exist for my claim that for you to ask for
one is unbelievably absurd and lame. Try an almanac.

You really don't know what you're talking about and you aren't
even very good at pretending to.

The colonials, obviously, were Englishmen living in the
English Colonies. You think they were what ... Bantus?

The evidence is pretty much obvious. Of course, you'd need to
read, to know something about the history of English colonization,
and that's what I recommend you do. Try it. Then maybe you'd
not continue to embarrass yourself so much around here.

You really have some difficulty staying with the topic,
don't you. Hint: *Any* citizen is not a native.

Actually, I really don't consider a lot of the immigrants
who in the past 30 years have availed themselves of the
cheap citizenship papers distributed by the government
to be Americans. They might be citizens, but so many
of them hold to the old country in their ways and
loyalties that to call them Americans is really a misnomer.

Right, in a way, as the first immigrants were colonists, and
the American identity took some generations to develop.
The first immigrants and their children were pretty much
Englishmen.

    > So you are saying that if someone is here legally as a student, working, or

The kid might be a US citizen, owing to the unfortunate
interpretation of the 14th Amendment. But I wouldn't
call the kid an American.

I could care less about Central and South America. An
*American* is someone from the US in this discussion.
Get acquainted with context, you ignorant twerp.
