By the way, this isn't related, but did any of them ever comment on that whole Shawna Forde thing?
Yes, I responded to your thread. Perhaps it wasn’t the reply you sought. https://www.city-data.com/forum/immig...wna-forde.html

If the report is a hoax, she should be dealt with accordingly. However, I certainly wouldn’t obsess over this story given the MASSIVE fraud being perpetrated by illegal aliens on a daily basis. Oh, that’s right….their fraud is justified. Redirect, redirect, redirect.

Default Aren't you missing the point

The truth is that she IS a citizen due to the fact that she was born to legal immigrants holding GREEN CARDS. A temporary visa is issued only to visitors that do not plan to seek residence or pursue permanent residence. There are a vast majority of citizens that oppose granting automatic citizenship to children of non-resident (those without legal documentation) individuals. Both my wife and I have waited our turn in the citizenship line and cannot digest the logic of allowing line jumpers to enjoy the same privileges as those that have sacrificed life and limb to adhere to the law.

Welcome to America and good luck with citizenship. You are exactly the kind of immigrants we want and need. The honest law abiding kind ..

There IS no logic to it. It's a direct slap in your face, an insult to your intelligence, and a truly TERRIBLE example for our whole society..(and a lousy, second-rate, 'crummy' way to become a citizen, in my opinion).. It's an excercise in cynicism, and a good illustration of the fact that "nice guys finish last", and that "laws are made to be broken".

You're not alone in feeling this way.

What's worse? Me ranting about how asinine Malkin is or a poster dropping commentary on what my views are with sarcasm. Atleast my comment pertains to the OP discussion at hand. Can't say the same about yours.

Way to be a hypocrite.

Because it has absolutely nothing to do with the color of your skin/race, like you just made it out to be. That was very racist of you.

It has everything to do with your nationality and if you are a citizen of the USA. Don't try to turn it into something it isn't.
