Yeah, sounds like crap to me too. Sentimental bullshit.

From now on, only rich, smart, and sexy! In fact, why don't we make a reality show out of it? Immigrant Idol! If you don't have enough talent and appeal, its back to [insert third world country] you go!

Hmmm... kind of makes you wonder. Would your own ancestors have made it?

How about people can become American by raising their hands and declaring it. They can mail in their votes from all over the world! Everywhere, people can become Americans because THEY say so. They can make American soil happen magically by a three foot aura. We could potentially take over the world peacefully! It would be a great idea if it weren't so miserably retarded. The tired and poor should be the exception, not the rule and there should be a solid standard for this.

Ancestry is moot if someone is born into the same family. Adopting should be at the option of the family, not the other way around. We can help out the needy as well as improve ourselves. But who these people are should not be determined by default. You shouldn't be able to earn rights to this country by cheating to get them.
