Standing Up For Immigration Rights

In the United States of America, all immigration laws must be in effect at all times. It's been like that since the Civil War started and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But everybody must accept the fact that the people from different countries, including India, are becoming citizens of the United States. It seems that some people don't want them in our country because all foreigners will not just take their jobs or whatever, but commit crimes everywhere they go, including solicitation or whatever. Well, the last time everybody had checked, the united States of America was called "the land of opportunity." Now I, for one, am for immigration rights. Just like these people from Mexico, Haiti, China, or wherever these people are from, they have rights, just like all of Americans do. Some people like me should make them feel welcome in our country, but some them are always judging these foreigners by their religions, faiths, and/or beliefs, background, or whatever. The ones who have always been hateful towards the people who aren't U.S. citizens since 2006. And some people are ignorant, selfish, and on top of all that they're a bunch of hypocrites, just like the Ku Klux Klan who've always wanted all of us African-Americans to go back to our country called Africa. How stupid is that? Okay, sure, these people from foreign countries may need to pass background checks in order to become citizens of the United States of America, but the fact of the matter is that day in and day out these people, from around the world are God's children, and these people really need to stop being ignorant and arrogant--for once. If I'm going to stand up for immigration rights, everybody should stand up for the people from around the world, including Egypt and Afghanistan. And no matter whether he or she is Muslim, Buddhist, or Catholic, or whatever, we're all an equal and we are all God's children. God bless America, and the whole wide world.
