It's amazing that all the discourse these days surrounds the subject of immigrants and they always seem to leave out the word illegal when referring to their status.

As for the national anthem, the tune is an old pub song from England but the words are American written in English. Do we try and translate other country's anthem's because we can't speak their language or to suit our needs?

I don't see many illegal aliens (yea, they used to be called that at one time) trying to sneak into Mexico to make a living...or trying to sneak into Iraq or Iran or Afghanistan to make a living.

If you can't speak the language then how the hell do you expect to fill out a tax form? Oh sorry - how narrow minded of me to think you actually pay taxes!
