They are not required to respect anyone, only obey the laws. If they have done that, you have nothing to complain about.
Exactly. My family came to this country in the latter half of the 19th century. They were poor, and penniless, the epitome of the 'tired, poor, and huddled masses yearning to be free'. They worked hard, they built a name for themselves. Our business was agriculture in sunny California. During both World Wars, not only did My Grandfather, and his father enlist, the ones who could not worked hard, supported the community, and the country. In the 60's, my grandparents had enough to start an orchard. My father was raised working in that orchard, I too worked in the orchard, learning the value of a penny earned, but that orchard is now property of the state of California because it was more profitable for companies to purchase outsourced products. My grandparents strongly believed in buying American, and because of our piece of **** government legislated American business owners to death, we lost the orchard. Couldn't afford to keep it, couldn't afford to pay our employees, or all the benefits their gay little unions bitched and moaned about. It would have greatly benefited us to hire illegals, buy cheap Chinese equipment, and all that other crap companies are forced to do because of prohibitive taxing and forced costs, but we didn't. The lesson I learned from all of it is that doing the right thing, and standing by your principals, means you gon get raped with no lube by our wonderful government, because the 'tired, poor, and huddled masses yearning to be free' of today demand everything for nothing, and our dumb **** government gives it to them at everybodies expense.
If I didn't still love my country, and hold out some seemingly foolish hope that America will someday do the right thing for once and support her People, I'd cash out what the government hasn't decided should go to worthless bums and ungrateful, self entitled illegals who won't even bother to commit to this land that allows them a proper place to raise a family, I'd bail too. Why wouldn't the wealthy leave? They're being robbed.
