Why do illegal aliens feel they have a 'right' to be here?

A recent article in the Providence Journal gave another example of the absolute arrogance displayed by far-too many illegal aliens living in the U.S., who somehow feel they have a ‘right’ to be here.
Dozens of illegal aliens appeared at a Providence, RI press conference held at St. Charles Church, and organized by Immigrants in Action.
The group was protesting the recent detainment of 60 illegal aliens, after it was discovered they had been working at Gillette Stadium, home to the NFL’s New England Patriots.
Through an interpreter, Guatemalan national Martin Jimenez Lopez, said he was one of the workers held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
.
Lopez said: “That’s insane. The way we can’t work (because of immigration status), but then they take us to work.”
Lopez was joined by so-called community activists and a Catholic priest in calling amnesty for the U.S. illegal alien population.
Of course, this is not the first time we have seen illegal aliens complain about their treatment in this country.
In 2006, we saw huge numbers of illegal aliens marching in the streets of more than 20 U.S. cities, as these invaders demanded their 'rights.' In Dallas alone, 500,000 demonstrators filled the streets waving Mexican flags and shouting threats of 'Reconquista" (re-conquest of the American Southwest).
What would give someone who has entered this country illegally to believe that he has the right to be here, work, and have their children receive a public education?
The answer can be found in the United States Congress.
Speaker of the House, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) recently pledged her support for an amnesty bill in an interview with the Latino magazine La Opinion, saying: “What we want to do is complete the job. I hope to pass immigration reform this year.”
On December 11, 2009 Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) issued a press release, announcing that he would introduce another bill for so-called ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ (i.e. Amnesty for invaders).
What follows is a portion of the Congressman‘s press release:
“On Tuesday, December 15, Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL) will introduce new legislation, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act of 2009 (CIR ASAP), to the U.S. House of Representatives. Gutierrez will be joined by members of many different faiths and backgrounds, including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Black Caucus, Asian Pacific American Caucus and Progressive Caucus.”
“We have waited patiently for a workable solution to our immigration crisis to be taken up by this Congress and our President. The time for waiting is over. This bill will be presented before Congress recesses for the holidays so that there is no excuse for inaction in the New Year. It is the product of months of collaboration with civil rights advocates, labor organizations, and members of Congress. It is an answer to too many years of pain --mothers separated from their children, workers exploited and undermined security at the border-- all caused at the hands of a broken immigration system. This bill says 'enough,' and presents a solution to our broken system that we as a nation of immigrants can be proud of.”
The bill has 93 co-sponsors.
Of course, co-author of the McCain/Kennedy Amnesty Bill, Sen. John Mccain (R-AZ) has spoken at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza for the last several years.
As one of the keynote speakers at the 2004 conference, he told the zealous crowd: “It is in our national interest to bring the 8 to 12 million undocumented immigrants out of the shadows and allow them an opportunity to become citizens of this great nation.”
After the massive illegal alien protests in 2006, McCain made the following statement: “If such demonstrations continue, I think we will have a bill for the President to sign soon. The more debate, the more demonstrations, the more likely we will prevail.”
Not to be outdone, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) speaking at the 2007 NCLR conference, showed his disdain for most of the American people when he said: “We're gonna tell the bigots to shut up.”
However, encouraging the invasion of this country is not limited to our politicians. Even the Pope has joined the chorus.
During Pope Benedict XVI’s 2008 visit to the United States, he gave many speeches and sermons. Among other things, the Pope admonished Americans to adopt a welcoming attitude toward those who break our laws by entering this country illegally. Benedict said: “I want to encourage you and your communities to continue to welcome the immigrants who join your ranks today, to share their joys and hopes, to support them in their sorrows and trials and to help them flourish in their new home.
In 2008, it was discovered that the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, a Vatican-based group which answers directly to the Pope has made a large donation to help build a shelter for Central Americans on their illegal journey to the United States. The money was given to the Brothers On The Path refuge, located in the Mexican city of Ixtepec.
The Catholic Church has also helped to organize the massive illegal alien rallies seen in recent years around the nation. The March 2006 rally held in Washington, D.C. was sponsored by among others the Archdiocese of Washington’s Office of Justice and Service, Catholic Charities of the Arlington Diocese, and the Catholic Social Justice Lobby Network. Baltimore churches St. Michael and St. Patrick even sent a four bus convoy filled with illegal aliens to the Washington rally.
Is it any wonder so many illegal aliens now feel they have a ‘right’ to be here?
