Word!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

  2. Have to cut myself off at the knees, send my hands to Africa

    Canada won't have us and Scotland wouldn't surprise me ...

  3. Of course, most of us have ancestors who came here legally rather than criminally, but don't let that fact stop your ranting.
    Politicians who support illegal immigration want you to forget that fact....

    1. Of course, most of our ancestors who came here legally actually had a path to citizenship. But details ...

      Oh yeah, and unless one is re-entering the country illegally after having already been deported, illegal entry is a misdemeanor. Politicians who want to throw illegals (and some legals) in a camp surrounded by the everglades want you to forget that fact ...
