go back to or stay in their own countries and work to give their future generations something to  be PROUD of? (Like earlier USA citizens did for our generations, of which WE can be proud.)

That sort of occurred to me. But none of them apparently care about their own countries. Sure sure they wave their little flags and dress up and march...But thats it! Nigeria, Rwanda, Jamaica, Haiti...Everyone there with an education leaves. They come to France, Canada, England or the US and stay there. No-one is trying to make their countries better. They all just leave and abandon their countries to the vicious cycle of violence, destruction and corruption that has ruled there for 50 + years. What would have happened if Nelson Mandela had just decided to leave South Africa and go get rich in Canada? Would South Africa have ever ended Apartheid?? Probably, but he helped alot! What about Gandhi? What if he had just said "eehhh f*ck India, Im going to the US to become a rich doctor"? Would India would still be ruled by the British? No way of knowing for sure, but those people stood up and fought (peacefully) to make their respective countries better. It doesnt seem like anyone bothers nowadays. Just take off to the rich countries and forget your homeland...I dunno...Maybe Id do the same in their position, but still, it seems strange.\n\n\npeace

We Americans should be proud of the thought that so many people from so many different cultures want to come to our country.  People come here because we have such a wonderful country, and I think we should all realize that none of us started in America to begin with - our families all came here from all over the world.  If anything, shouldn't it be the Native Americans getting upset with us?

America, being one of the youngest countries ...in comparison to European, by thousands of years, yet we have accomplished more in this short time than any other. One of the reasons is this country was established by people working together, sharing the load, sharing knowledge and eventually sharing our good fortune.\n We have never questioned when help was needed "What are we going to get out of it", Americans juust jump in and help, be it friend or foe. \nI don't think it's a lack of appreciation on the part of the people we help it's just that their governments ....seem to forget.\nMaybe it's jealousy,,,,, no matter how much partisan bickering we go thru we alwayys puull together in the end (though lately i am starting to feel that some of our citizens don't realize how luckyy and blessed theyy are to be a part of this great nation).\nA nation that gives and gives without asking for anything in return.\n\nGod Bless America

We are a privileged country.  One that many do not realize.  The more we get, the more we want.  People in other countries may have it "bad" in comparison to "our" standards of living, but at the same time, they don't miss what they don't have.  I love my country (USA),but I don't think we realize the cushion we have made for ourselves in comparison in other countries. Whatever happened to the famous saying, "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. - John F. Kennedy". I think we forgot!

Agree with you 100%.  To send them back is like playing with a boomer rang.  But then there are those that want to kill, nuke and other anti-human things you can do to a people of another nation.  I guess thats the way they take care of their own problems at home. you do have a good point.

Take back their country really only means one thing to me, that is the jobs that went overseas in almost all areas.  I read an article that said you can get a job, you just have to leave the USA and work overseas for pennies.\n\nSo anyone who is structurally unemployed of course wants to take back their country - and their jobs.

No they understand it. Why do they care though? They don't care enough to wave an American flag, Learn our language, Raise their litters to be well behaved members of any society, Learn our culture rather than use ignorance as an excuse to change ours. Or apply for naturalization or citizenship because they truely love the country that is feeding them, providing them with special financing on everyhting from buying and owning property to SBA loans. They ruined their own country look at their water for example so they have now invaded the neighboring one like roaches moving to the next apartment. DON'T MISTAKE what I am saying...MY GRANDPARENTS WERE BORDER JUMPERS...but they where happy and greatful they contibuted served this country in times of war, hung an American flag, learned english and expected nothing. And became LEGAL citizensThey raised their litter (5 children total) to have respect and work hard instead of leech. They put themselves through college and raised their children as AMERICANS because thats what they we are. I chose to take Russian in HS and the only sentance I learned in spanish (as a HS student) Me Gusta Beber Cervesa. I like to drink beer.

That we acknowledge our past trespasses and are willing to learn from them.\n\nThat we need to focus inward and address the concerns within our own borders first and foremost. \n\nThat we wish to find our proper place among the global community and will do our share of the work to make the world a better place..\n\nThat Americans want the same thing most people want, to live in peace and prosper.

WHAT??? And leave such a "cushy Nation" like ours?  Then those people would probably have to WORK for a living!!  Instead of being a whiner while they collect what Government dole they are receiveing and whinning its too little, and not working a day in thier lives :)\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

President John F. Kennedy said this:  'Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for our country.'\n\nYou are 22 years old, and already you have succumbed to what I refer to as:  "Entitlement Philosophy."  This is really not your fault.  The United States has failed in recent decades to encourage citizens to pursue their 'own person.'  Instead, Americans have fallen victim to the 'I'm an American, Therefore the Government Owes Me,' syndrome.  The sad part is, the US Government has complied with this problem, by funding entitlement programs hand-over-fist.\n\nPersonal security and well-being just doesn't work that way.  This is what Thomas Jefferson penned in 1776.  (If you haven't reviewed the entire Declaration of Independence, I suggest you might wish to consider reading it):\n\n'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.'  \n\nThe 'pursuit of happiness' is not handed out by the US Government.  What Jefferson described was the privilege of becoming anything a citizen wishes to be.  At 22 years of age, you have opportunities which abound in the United States, more so than in many other countries.  You may be a doctor, or an attorney.  You may clean houses for a living, or choose to be a writer.  You can run for office, challenge politicians, become a pastor, move from state to state.\n\nYou may go to college.  The government doesn't owe you an education.  You owe it to yourself.  Work your way through school.  Many have done it before you.  What's stopping you?  If you really want to go, there are many grants and financial programs available to assist you.  Do your research.\n\nYou say you are losing faith in your government?  YOU are the Government.  This is a government OF the People, BY the People...Choose to be proactive.  If you do not vote, you lose.  Picture this:  Iraqis, facing terrible violence, braved their way to the polls.  They proved to Americans what is truly valuable.  Their freedom of speech.\n\nYou don't approve of Capitalism?  Read Karl Marx.  Read Mein Kampf.  Then read Adam Smith.  Educate yourself.  Find out for yourself what truly is a beneficial economic system.  Ask people from the Ukraine, or the Czech Republic what life was like under Communism. Then...Start your own business.\n\nYou don't like the way people with disabilities are treated in the United States?  Then volunteer for organizations that provide for their needs.  Spend time visiting with the elderly in nursing homes.  Mentor a child.  Spend your time helping others.  \n\nYou say you are fed up.  How very sad.\n\n'Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country.'\n\nCount yourself among the privileged.  Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are yours to have (and to give), if you have the courage to accept it.\n\nGood luck to you.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you should be able to.

I love the US thats why I came here. But some people move here and hate the US at the same time, so if they hate the US then they should move back where they come from.

I'd wave my flag in your face, but this is the internet so that isn't quite possible.  \n\nI see nothing wrong with the pride we have in our country, a young country at that.  We've accomplished quite a bit in just over a couple hundred years don't you think?

I actually think that is a great idea.  Then possibly if after working for a certain time period and not getting into any trouble they could "earn" their citizenship.
