The reality of it is, they do a lot of jobs that people in this country frown upon (garbage cleanup, farm work, etc) and they do it for a hell of a lot cheaper than what you would do it for.

Being born here means everything, it gives me protected rights under the constitution and it’s the only argument I need. Can I just go to France and start randomly working at a Cafe’? No Because I need working papers. Can I just walk into a middle eastern country? No I’d be shot on the border or thrown in jail.

If they want to come to this country then do it legally like the millions of immigrants before them. Your “reality” is a liberal talking point. The jobs they take are ones Americans want and need. When I was a teenager I did farm work and a slew of crappy jobs but you know what it instilled a strong work ethic in me and taught me the value of a dollar. Doing it for alot cheaper means absolutely nothing as well since what they take from this country in terms of social aid far exceeds what they pay in which is nothing in terms of taxes.

So you’re right I do think I’m entitled to something just because I’m American and that’s why people flock here from all over the world so they can take part in what it feels like to be an American. I welcome them with open arms too as long as they go through the legal process and assimilate into our culture not the other way around.
