Because Americans are more ignorant, and far more arrogant than Europeans. Americans hate because people are different without first seeing if the hate is warranted or even if the basis of that hate is valid. Hate is part of American culture and has been since the first settlers hated the Native Americans, through to the French, Irish, English, Germans, Japanese, Italians, Blacks, and now, just any old immigrant.

If we open our doors to undocumented immigrants, then it will not be UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, it will be United States of Mexico. How would French people feel if they change their national anthem to English? How would Germans feel if we change their national anthem to English? . They say, put ourself in their situation and see what it feels, Why do they put themselves in our sitation and see what it feels. . I was a legal immigrant who became citizen and went through the legal process and I'm proud to be a US citizen. Support America and buy more stuff than you usually do!

I'm thinking something like... everyone hates the US. Thanks to its people and its government. I guess terrorism would be a problem but then again, this country is so easy to get into... right? I would me more concerned about terrorists getting in AGAIN and killing more than worrying about honest people who only come here to provide for their families. Good question though.

Yes, let's become more like Europe... let's just live in a welfare state... let's legalize drugs... let's legalize prostition... sure sounds great (please read in a sarcastic tone)... look, if Europe is so appealing, there are plenty of planes heading there daily (as long as the Muslims don't blow them up on the way)... as far as gravesendian's reply... pal, get bent... who do you think you are, some philosopher who is on a higher thinking plane than the rest of us... you think Americans are so hateful and arrogant... who hates the state of Isreal... who won't even recognize them as a country... who has a terrorist group (Hammas) as a government... and junk the Political Correct crap... I'm an American, born in America... does that not make me a NATIVE AMERICAN... it cracks me up when so much is made up about white people conquering lands... didn't Indians (ooops, sorry... native americans) wage war with each other? Didn't Africans wage war with each other, and then sell EACH OTHER to slave traders? Weren't the Aztecs very combative? It's funny how white people take such a rap for being warlike.

Because we saw recently on the news how much good that did for the French. You end up with the inmates running the asylum.

You better check your facts. Some countries in Europe will not allow you to be a citizen if your parents are immigrants even if you were born in that country.
