My views on immigration aside, a lots of folks seem confused about what comprises America. If you recall from NINTH GRADE GEOGRAPHY (yes, it's been a while), America is comprised on North, Central and South America. North America includes the main countries of Bermuda, United States, Canada, Greenland and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. Central America includes Mexico, El Salvador and Panama, to name a few. South America includes Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Columbia and Venezuela, again to name just a few of its countries.
My point - the news, blogs, people I know keep saying "we need to close the American borders" or "We need to keep the illegal aliens out of America", or something like that. We BOTH live in America! Quit saying America when you mean the U.S.! Mexico is in America too and unless our Geography books change, will continue to remain in America.
'Nuf said - my pet peeve for today.
