He didnt break laws to come here. He followed rules to come here, which is more than I can say for the millions of ILLEGALS we have in this country.

Why should he follow the rules, and others, but if you come up south of the border, you dont have to?

He's condemning the governments policy on immigration, yet he benefited from the governments policy on immigration.

So...?

He should be angrier. As BucsLose stated, he did everything to come here legally, but illegal immigrants are granted amnesty?

I don't appreciate foreigners lecturing us about immigration policies.

So because he entered the country legally, you dont think he is open to criticize policy changes that would allow illegals the same benefit he worked so hard to obtain?

LOL...do you really not understand the difference between legal and illegal immigration? Shpanda is right...legal immigrants like him should be more upset than anyone else about this.

Well, if he's from Ireland on a green card then he cannot vote and thus is not a member of the Tea Party. So, there is the OP's first fail.

Secondly, are you suggesting that no reporters from other counties should be allowed to work in the US? Or, is your suggestion only US citizens are allowed to question the POTUS on his Executive Orders?

He was trying to ask a question. Do you really not understand the difference between declarative sentences and questions?
