commenting on the immigration bill. what ever happened to the "land of the free, home of the brave"? with a reputation like that you would think that america would be the most open-minded when it came to letting more people into our country, and letting them in with a good welcome. if we let people into our country who are going to be good, hard-working citizens like the rest of us, then what harm is it going to do? none. i believe that it is unamerican and discriminitive to not allow people to live in a certain area, just because they were not born and raised there.
