The whole process is so much bureaucratic nonesense.

They're not here WRONGFULLY, merely ILLEGALLY.  They didn't dot the eyes
and cross the tees.  Big freakin' whoop.

Believe me brother, they do.  I had a bitch of a time with them a few
weeks ago.

Monocultures are the enemy of nature.  Show me an ecosystem that does not
strive for diversity.

One size most certainly does not fit all.

Ego and pride, brother.  We are learning to put those nasty instinctual
traits aside in favor of our more refined intellectual traits.  That's the
course human evolution has taken.

So shall we have planned breeding programs to elminate "ethnic" traits
that lead folks to form affinity groups and potentially create subcultures
that might blossom into thriving cultures and cause civil strife?

Pardon me, but I think it's probably better to be merely tolerant and
respectful.

I can't think of a single nation that doesn't have some process of
immigration that allows the immigrant to, eventually, reach a point of
identical legal standing with a natural born resident.

However, you still can't be President of the United States unless you were
born here.  There are other nations without such restrictions.
