Showing Support for our Naturalized Americans

[Melissa Elliott]

Every morning when I get up, it has become all too customary for me to turn right to our fight to get America back together again. This morning was no different. As I headed to the coffee pot, my heart began thinking about the Naturalized citizens of this country, and how this healthcare fiasco is affecting them.

 

You see, our own race baiting President thinks that anyone that talks against him does so because of the color of his skin. He has many other small minded people thinking the same way, just like a bully.

 

It all seems centered on black and white, and what many Americans don’t realize, is that we are all MORE than that. What about our Mexican Americans? Are they white or black? Neither! Now I am speaking of our Naturalized citizens here….they come from Mexico, China, the Philippines, Russia, Europe, Jamaica, Haiti and all over the world seeking a better life here for them and their families. They go through an extensive process, having to learn our culture, language AND history and are proud to display the American way of life. We all see this every day, with many of our co-workers, families and friends.

 

Those that go through this process are more than welcomed with open arms and regarded as Americans as it should be. But the sacrifices these people make, in order to obtain that better life, is now being threatened to even them. They sought the American dream, and in many ways had faced overwhelming challenges to achieve what they have today. I personally know a woman from Haiti that brought her two children here, became naturalized and worked THREE jobs to support herself and her children at the same time, and sometimes worked 120 hours a week, no kidding. I asked several times how she could keep up her strength, and all she could think about were her children and what a better life each one would have. I am proud to say that each of her children are college graduates, one in the medical field and one a prominent marketing executive.

 

These kinds of sacrifices should not be in vain! These people have already been through enough to show their love and loyalty for this land. Many have served and are currently serving proudly in our military, and God bless you for doing so…point is, Americans come from many places and many lands. We are a melting pot. I love you, no matter your color, creed, etc. You come to MY born country and sacrifice in this manner, learn MY laws, LANGUAGE, take and pass the required citizenship test, (http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Office%20of%20Citizenship/Citizenship%20...) I welcome you and I love you as my fellow American should. Many questions on this test unfortunately some scholars may have trouble with, even without a language or grammar obstacle to consider. Thank you, I wish we had a better leader that would stop being such a spoiled child and show you the same….WE ARE THE PEOPLE
