Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

Illegal immigration began in 1492.
Get over yourselves.

Just because you were born in the United States doesn't mean you deserve more rights than those born in other countries. You are just lucky. Lucky/blessed/fortunate--pick one, one that means something gained that was not of your own achievement. So maybe instead of fighting to deny these rights to others who weren't so lucky, you should work so that every human can have them.

As much as you may like to think (because it makes you feel powerful and justifies your horrible attitude) that people despise Americans because they are jealous of us, it's clearly not true; they despise us because we squander our vast opportunities to be truly great, and instead spend our time and money building killing machines, eating quadruple cheeseburgers on Styrofoam plates, legalizing discrimination/hatred, taking jobs and help away from the poor and then criticizing them for being poor, raising college tuition prices and reducing scholarship and grant money, homogenizing the media, making racist/sexist/homophobic jokes, giving false prophets and Pharisees their own television and radio shows, invoking the ideals of our forefathers and foremothers and then doing the opposite, celebrating ignorance, and arguing over who God likes better.

We are a-holes.
We don't have to be a-holes.
But what do I know?

(And while we're at it, we can fix the worry about overpopulation. How? I'll give you a hint. It starts with an "e" and ends in a "ducation." But that's another topic entirely and I have to go take a shower.)
