The census is fine, but negative remarks about illegal immigrants are definitely political. Diane
illegal = negative it's an opinion, whether it be politically correct or not. One of the rights of an American citizen is to be able to express an opinion. If they don't like our opinion of them , then they can just sneak back to their own country. I have nothing against any ethnic group. If they are here legally then all the more power to them. This country was built on diversity.

Sorry but our country is headed for bankruptcy trying not to offend people who have come here illegally, sucking up resources without contributing. Here in NC it is almost a weekly occurrence that a drunken illegal alien kills someone with a hit and run offense. This is not a political statement, it is a fact. I have little hope that sanity will ever prevail and current laws be enforced. I trust you will not be offended by one of our FOUNDING FATHERS' quotes. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Thomas Jefferson It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

I think in the future with all the erasing of true history and the substitutes that are presented instead, the work Illegal will be crossed out and a new nice term will be presented. We see how little of American history is being taught now a days. I have started writing of notes on different people in my ancestry to explain the times, and to make a true determination of what happened. This is not easy since we are now putting today's standards of political correctness on people who lived 150 years ago. Just think if Britain is dropping Winston Churchill as a great leader to a war monger, what must some writer of text books be thinking here. -----Original Message----- From: Nelson W.

Nelson, aren't you the one who was arguing to keep politics OFF this list? http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NYERIE/2008-10/1225502830 I must make a formal protest and ask that you cease. << Sorry but our country is headed for bankruptcy trying not to offend people who have come here illegally <snip cr@p> >>
