So you don't have any problem with giving two people different rights based on where they were born? You don't think there's something twisted about that? People come here because we're obscenely rich, and they want to be rich, too. I don't think that means we are morally superior at all. That's where my stance on the whole issue is coming from, and why I'd still be for inclusive immigration laws even if it were 'bad for the economy,' because frankly it reeks of royalty to claim a right to citizenship based solely on birth.

Well it does make a difference to you if you're actually pissed, right? I'm not saying I've spent the last two days pacing and worrying about a person I just met (not even in 'real life') being angry, but I would be happier if you weren't pissed off. Also, if you didn't call me Polyanna. My name is already a slightly misspelled girls name as it is.
