A recent Homeland Security Department plan suggests that all legal permanent residents who immigrated here be subject to fingerprinting. They would be subjected to fingerprinting every time they wanted to come across the border again, too, so that green cards could only be used by the right person. The same practice would apply to some Canadians entering on work visas.
Back in the day, when we let more people in, people at Ellis Island had to have twenty bucks or they'd be turned back (people on slave ships were let in no matter how little money they had). They were also checked for diseases, because everyone already in America was so healthy the government didn't want to let any foreigners contaminate them.
Now, people are being fingerprinted because their mothers were in the wrong country when they gave birth to them. They're not healthy Americans with a healthy, American outlook, they're scary people from somewhere else.
As many have pointed out, it is unlikely that a single member of the Department of Homeland Security is a real American. Each and every one of them is a descendent of some man or woman who came here a number of years ago and who got together with a number of their un-American friends, pushed the real Americans out west, and called themselves citizens of the United States of America.
Now, these new Americans' descendents are fingerprinting what we have termed "immigrants" because their ancestors didn't enter the US before their birth. America may be the land of the free for some immigrants, but not for others, and not for real Americans.
