This country was founded and has prospered because of non-natives. I
guess being a legal alien since he was five doesn't count for much in
your book. Perhaps he should have been deported.



Not deported but the question rises as to why, at the age of 23, he had
not declred citzenship or the intent of taking citizenship. Most


Maybe because he had mental problems or maybe because at 23, having
been here since he was a baby, he really didn't see the urgency? Who
knows. It makes no difference at all

But it does make a difference...there is none so blind as those that
cannot see...take off your blinders, Jon...


resident aliens can't wait for their 7 years to be up so they can become
a citizen. If you have no intention of becoming a citizen, then why have
permanent resident status unless you're a representative of a foreign
country? I am not speaking here about visas for people who come here
with a specific purpose for a specific time. They come and they go and
that's all right. I don't care if non-citizens go to our colleges and
universities as long as they take what they learned back to improve
their own nations. I do take issue with people that come here to drink

from our well and then spit in it when they're finished.

Who decides? You?

As in the collective "you". yes...all of us...the citizens of this
country...
