Reviews For: Foreigners with more freedoms?

Jai Akari 2007-11-20 ch 1,	abuseYeah, I agree. Why ARE we giving illegal immigrants free stuff? We're basically saying "Oh, so you're an illegal immigrant? Here, have some free health care and other benefits we don't give our citizens. And don't worry about paying taxes or paying for medical care if you get hurt. Our citizens will pay that for you." I know that our country was built on immigration, but it's just not fair to us legal citizens who help keep this country running! We pay high enough taxes as it is without having to pay for benefits for foreigners. No one did that for us when my or your families came to America! We went through the legalization process and bothered learn a second language because we wanted to be Americans! I have nothing against Hispanics, but has anyone else noticed that we are expected to learn their language, but they're not expected to learn English, which the majority of the country speaks? Half the signs I see now are all in Spanish and I have to look for the English equivilant only to find it on the bottom of the sign. Those of us who don't want to learn it or say that Hispanics need to be learning English are looked at as if we are nothign but racist pieces of crap. Just for the record, I am not racist in any way, shape or form. I just find these things very frustrating.
Tiefling 2007-10-29 ch 1,	abuseYou come across as quite xenophobic. You talk as though immigration, whether legal or illegal is an inherently bad thing when your country was built on immigration. Bear in mind that most of the people living in the USA today descend from immigrants. "One example of this is the radical Islam group. Muslims are coming over to our countries to practice what they believe. Which everyone could agree is fine. But then, in some schools, they are fighting to have their religion taught while others, such as the Atheists are asking that God be taken out of a traditional pledge. " You seem to be assuming that anyone who would argue against school prayer must be a 'foreigner'. News flash: there are plenty of American atheists (and American moslems and people of other religions for that matter). The question of school prayer doesn't really have anything to do with immigration, legal or otherwise. "It is simply a tradition. But to give one group more power than another that had existed in the country before is wrong." Well, you'd better study up on Native American traditions then. "Even one of our known governors, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is not from our country." You seem to be implying that the mere fact that he was born elsewhere is a bad thing. Why, exactly? He's not an illegal immigrant, and he doesn't get paid cash in hand to be the governor. If you're against foreigners simply because they're foreigners, well, frankly that's just racist.
Nirnaeth Arnoediad 2007-10-27 ch 1,	abuseCertain parts of your essay display a talent for writing. You do a very nice job varying sentence length, and some of your sentences, especially some of those in the second paragraph, are quite effective. Others are less so. "I, just like most Americans, am a lover of that First Amendment provision" and "The whole world has known this about America for years" come across as juvenile. Perhaps rewording sentences like that would help? As a whole, your essay kind of splinters into parts. You start by talking about Ahmadinejad, which takes you away from your point--that foreigners are coming here to live and taking away native citizens' rights. Except Ahmadinejad wasn't here to ask for rights or a place to live, just to talk. The incident is perhaps worthy of its own essay, but it takes away from this one. After this paragraph, though, the essay gets back on track, and you stick to the point well. All in all, this was an interesting read. I don't agree with you, but interesting nonetheless. I would recommend that you work a little on your sentence structure, and perhaps take out the bit about Columbia, though it might make a nice essay on it's own. Your writing style suits argumentative papers well, though, and certainly shows some promise.
