Aliens

Okay, now we come to our topical portion of our show. Let's talk about immigration. Unless someone is a Native-American, none of us are from around here. All of our ancestors came from somewhere else. Mine came from France, Germany and England. Most of them originally came over here in the late 1600's or late 1700's, depending on what side of the family you are talking about. I have royal blood on my Mother's side, but then Napoleon took over, and they had to leave or die. I have seen a picture of the old castle. It is torn down now. So, anyway, we pretty much all came from some place else. Immigration is in the news today, because there are some people who want to come into this country, but just not through normal means. When I lived in Texas, I was told never to yell out "Immigration" in a crowded theatre, or else you would have a stampede. Much like yelling "Fire" anywhere else. They say the DFW Airport could not have been built without illegals. So, where do you draw the line? America has often been referred to as a "melting pot" of people. They bring their own cultures and values to society. Great. Who can't get enough of Taco Bell or a multitude of Chinese restaurants. So, here is what I think. Welcome everyone to the USA. BUT, learn English and become a citizen. The last time I checked, English was still the official language of this country. Maybe not in the future, but it is now. So, thank everyone for coming here. Just don't do it illegally. If you do, then you are going home.
