They make tons of money, as they own all of the casinos outside of Vegas and Jersey.
They also have special exemptions when it comes to fish and wildlife.
Can you even see how this sounds? Can anything of what you just mentioned make up for all of pain? If you're ever ashamed of anything in your life, let these words be it. Do you have any idea how many native Americans died so you could have this country of yours? The foundations of this great nation are blood and bones, like many other countries. Do not, ever, try to make light of this.
I've sat here and read your posts trying to understand. Do you know how it feels like to not have enough food? To pray every day that you'll be have something to eat?
How typical of you to put your pathetic problems above everyone else's when there are people around the world that are starving right now, dying because they can't find work. Most of these immigrants come here to keep their families alive. Are the crimes of a few worth these lives?
You preach about the American people as if humans were different across the border. How blind can a person be? Borders mean nothing, you could raise walls on ever border and still the only thing that'd give them meaning are your stupid prejudices.
So there are gangs, find better ways to deal with them but don't take away the only hope for a better life these people have. I can only imagine what you'd do living in my country, how you'd survive. The only thing you've ever done to deserve your privileges in life is be born in a specific place. You've endured nothing compared to what others are going through right now.
It is sickening having to experience the way people like you think, your apathy. So people in Africa are dying because they don't have the basic conditions to subsist, so what, it's not like the US has the resources to help, right? So what if this country just spent billions on war, can you think of a better way to spend money than to kill? You talk about citizenship like it makes a difference. One cannot judge the worth of a person by a piece of paper.
