Immigrants have always played an important role in the development of the US both economically and spirtually. Will, Some of my ancestors never became citizens as they failed to master the language. Their loyalty was never in doubt. Many of the Dominicans who went down in the plane are not citizens yet give their all every day here. We have to be careful not to use too broad a brush with all immigrants. Unfortunately the problem is primarily in the Middle East community and to use this as an excuse against hispanics and others would be a mistake. mike PS Who will be left to mow the lawns and wash the dishes. US citizens won't do this menial work.

You're right. I think its important to understand that this executive order pertains only to NON-CITIZENS, not native or naturalized citizens. Those who would argue that non-citizens should enjoy the same rights as Americans just because they got their foot inside our borders are, IMHO, crazy. The rules of acquisition of those rights that we enjoy should be more serious and demanding than those governing a child's game. Regards, Knip
