Immigrants "stealing our jobs"

nothing selective about it, mate, that's you that is. You (general not specific use of the word) may not mean to include legals in your rants, but you do. Almost all legislation that comes in to prevent/deal with illegal immigration only hurts the legals. A bit like the frequent gun rant on here that tougher legislation serves no purpose because the criminals are already using illegal weapons and don't care......

People say immigrants when they mean illegals only. The problem is they legislate that way too. And it's the legals who get hurt. Again and again. Yes, I jumped through all the hoops to be here. I pay my taxes. But the US still wants the monkey to dance some more. New legal immigrants now can't get driver's licenses. No driver's license = no life. Why is this? Oh, yes, the paranoia that the illegals (who have never been entitled to get licences) will use this as a way to make their existance legal. or get a pilot's license for taking off purposes only....... yep, I'm ranting, I'm entitled. (But stop salivating over the thought of my panties in a twist -I only ever rant nekkid

).

...Just minutes ago -the last thing I was doing before I opened this thread- I came across an essay competition about global warming that my daughter would have enjoyed entering. But she can't because she's not a US citizen and the prize is a US savings bond. What harm would it do for a non-citizen permanent resident to own a savings bond? She can't even enter and forego the prize, apparently.

Quick update. I emailed them and apparently what they meant was that entrants needed to have an SS#. So she is allowed to enter even though the rules say entrants must be US citizens. Now wait, who can't get ss#s? oh yes, that's right -illegals. Yet another situation where the two are lumped together for convenience. Now the question is, should I alert all legal residents that they can enter and dilute her chance of winning but prove a point....?

do what you want with the contest, but try this first. Go back and reread the rules to the contest. When you see US citizen don't read it as exclusionary or insulting. Realize that it is a positive - you are included with us.
