Legal aliens, illegal aliens, and citizens of the United States

Legal aliens, illegal aliens, and citizens of the United States have been debating the immigration and alien laws for a very long time. Somehow we have all forgotten that we are all aliens and that we expect the world to cater to our needs. How often do we demand that aliens in this country learn to speak our language but how much effort do we put into learning enough of another language before we visit another country, let alone move there. We simply expect that all the aliens who enter this country will do so on our own terms.Additionally, the debate grows as we continue to allow aliens to migrate to the country but we are less than welcoming. The melting pot of America has turned into the melting pot of prejudice. Just because an alien enters the country doesn’t mean that he or she is here to steal your job, or to corrupt your children. This is the one country that was founded on the idea that everyone could have a fair shake in the world, and people continue to want to give their fair shake a go. There is no reason to keep aliens out, provided that they come to the country legally and they have no ill will toward the country. How can we ask that aliens come into the country when all we do is respond to them with indifference, or worse? We are all aliens to this country and nobody owns it comply because they have a longer lineage line than someone else.
