I understand your reluctance.  That people come here to have children is a 
habit we have collectively allowed them to do for generations.  Collectively 
we Americans were partners with them in this.  From a Cherokee perspective, 
the English, French, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese did this.  Then the 
Germans....the Irish...Swedes...Italians.  So, too, did the Chinese and 
Japanese...then Vietnamese.

Actually, Cherokees were invited to Texas by the Mexicans....then Americans 
came.  The Cherokees stayed neutral out of respect for another Cherokee 
citizen....Sam Houston.  You know how the Americans repaid the hospitality 
of Mexico.

If we close the gates; this tradition  will stop!  Lets close the gates to 
solve the problem...not deny from a few what has been allowed since the 
beginning of Turtle Island.  Something many do not know.........there are 
hundreds of thousands of Kuwaiti citizens, mostly members of the royal 
family.........and millions of third and forth generation stateless 
non-citizens that are born in Kuwait but will never be anything but 
servants.

Anyway, it is good that America can agree on closing our borders.  That we 
can accomplish.
