I am willing to do my part with Padma Lakshmi, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Charlize Theron, Salma Hayek and Sofia Vergara.

I always thought we should make immigrants feel welcome.

Maybe the Dems can pass a law to legalize prostitution for lonely immigrants .
They could raise our taxes to provide the "escort services " to these men in need .

That would be pretty progressive of them . Think Bernie would be on board ?

The 'sex with an immigrant' joke took up 5 seconds of a nearly 20-minute speech that also spoke fondly and proudly of Grinnell College and the Grinnell community, of Iowa and the people of Iowa; it spoke of not being afraid to fail, and about finding your path and true passion in life; about seeking out diverse experiences, about embracing opposing viewpoints and not living in a bubble...trying to empathize with the guy that says 'they're taking all our jobs'.

Every speech, even one made NOT by a comedian, will incorporate some moments of levity. Even eulogies contain jokes sometimes.

Grinnell didn't invite some random celebrity. They invited Nanjiani because he's a successful alumnus of the school, and therefore an inspiration to graduates. Most people (even with every advantage) will never gain success in the entertainment industry, and this immigrant with a uni-brow and a funny accent was able to claw his way up to an award-wining and critically acclaimed HBO series where he is making more per episode than most people make in a year. And that's in addition to stand up, a lengthy acting resume, writing, producing and podcasting. Grinnell '17 would be lucky to find that kind of success in their respective fields.

Good luck with all the fairy tail stories and how these anchor babies can safe their parents from being deported.
Good luck with this Comedian and the danger of his jokes as most of the illegals are not capable to see when it is a joke and when it is serious.

Good ridden
What do anchor babies have to do with anything?

Nanjiani made a joke about having sex with immigrants, not with illegals. Nanjiani isn't an illegal, and neither are his parents. Or do you not know how to differentiate between immigrants and illegals? Is it because of an intellectual, or language deficiency?

I have an idea...why don't you start another histrionic thread ending in an exclamation point?

Maybe the two groups need a shared dating site.
