MY Country

So I recently received this email and I HAD to share it.  Before any of you label me as a racist and not pro-immigration let me state that I am totally in agreement for people coming to this country and entering our system, LEGALLY.  My own mother was an immigrant and went through the naturalization process and became a US citizen shortly after entering this country in 1947.  She had to learn the language, study for the citizenship test and then take the test.  (Which by-the-way I think all high school senior should have to pass before graduation from school, but that's a topics for anther day.)  So, NOW to the email:

My great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Civil War. My grandfather & father watched as their friends died in WW II and Korea . And we all watched as our friends died in Vietnam . None of them died for the Mexican Flag. Everyone died for the U.S. flag.

Just last month (May), here in Texas, permission was given to hang a Mexican flag prominently in the school hallway during the Cinco de Mayo celebrations.  Here is the photo of the huge flag that was raised without an American flag above it.  Another student (Nick Morris) was offended by the flag hanging at Klein Collins High School.  His mother called the school to complain and the school wouldn't return her call so Nick took it down.  Three men from the school including the Assistant Principal, Mr. Shelly Dick came to Nick's classroom, escorted him out of class, questioned him about the whereabouts of the flag (which Nick had thrown in the trash) and then proceeded to suspend him for 3 days.  This suspension then added a week to his school schedule for him to complete his final exams.

This school did not fly the Texas Flag on Texas Independence day yet they flew the Mexican Flag on Cinco De Mayo HIGHER than the American flag.  If this outrages you, please feel free to call the school at (832) 484-5500.  The superintendent's' name is Mr. Jim Cain.

This is light of the Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill California were sent home for wearing the American Flag on their T-shirts to school because it offended the Hispanic students there, again during the Cinco de Mayo festivities.

Enough is enough. The below e-mail message needs to be viewed by every American; and every American needs to stand up for America .  We've bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand. I'm standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can't stand up. If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know. I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.  And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

SECOND EMAIL:

A Map of MY Country

Let me make this perfectly clear!  THIS is MY country!  And because I make this statement that DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!  You are welcome here, in MY country!  Welcome to come through...LEGALLY!

1. Get a sponsor!

2. Get a place to lay your head!

3. Get a job!

4. Live by OUR rules!

5. Pay YOUR taxes! and

6. Learn the language like immigrants have in the past!

7. Please don't demand that we hand over our lifetime saving of Social Security Funds to you.

If you don't want to forward this (or post it to your blog!) then YOU are part of the problem!  When will Americans stop giving away their rights?  We have gone so far the other way, bent over backwards not to offend anyone, but it seems no one cares about the American Citizen that's being offended!

WAKE UP America!
