One side of my family came on the mayflower while the others left Newfoundland in the early 20th century. All of them came here for freedom (of religon and making a better life for your family), and the peace that comes with it. We are all guitly of takening these rights for granted.

What about american citizens?! Look, Iraq didn't ask for the invasion. Iraq didn't ask for the U.S. to send thousands of soldiers and equipment, spend billions of dollars over there and make refugees of them. So, if you wanted to keep all that money here to help american people, this country should have thought about not invading Iraq! Or, by now it should have removed itself, if not to say years ago, especially when it has been proven Iraq had no involvement and no weapons. Are you protesting the war? Probably not, you're probably in favor of it. Have your cake and eat it too. Gimme a break... For your homeless cry, FYI, for a lot of them it is by CHOICE. Not because they cannot work, or don't have a SSN to work. I see countless people day in and day out, in the heat, in the cold, it's no problem for them to sit/stand out there for hours holding signs picking for money. How many easy jobs aren't out there that you could perform sitting or standing and NOT be homeless? Secretary's, dishwashers, phone operators, flippin' burgers, assembly lines, gimme a break....

I was born in Iraq and we left during the early 90s. We came to Chicago, and my dad had to work 3 jobs at first to support us. Now we live GREAT I am starting business school in the fall, where I hope to double major. I don't think my family could of ever achived what we have if we stayed in Iraq. I hope every refugee can come here to the US and make somthing with there lives. God bless all of those refugees and may they all find peace. And lasty, Gob bless America for giving my family a second chance. When I watched teh Kaka family on PBS it reminded exactly of the struggle the my family went through leaving Iraq.

You wish Saddam Hussein was still the Dictator so he could continue with torture and genocide. Because apparently he was a nice man, almost as nice as Hitler. But wait, the Holocaust didn't exist according to the majority of Muslim extremists. Down with America, down with having pride in our country. What about all the suffering American CITIZENS!!!!!!!!!! Let's help our citizens FIRST!!! Are you kidding me? You wish Saddam Hussein was still the Dictator so he could continue with torture and genocide.
