Finally, we can agree on something. Yes, it is indeed ironic. You can even call it hypocritical. But if you separate the messenger from the message, my views on the subject of immigration can stand alone and do not necessarily become invalid just because I am an immigrant. Even a current alcoholic has a right to say that alcoholism is bad AND be credible in his opinion. No, I don't drink.
I know your view of me but just for fun, I came here in 1967, was hired as a EE in three days, never took a penny in welfare, my greatest offense against the US or any state was 12 over limit, paid maximum in SS and Medicare taxes all my life, I don't wave or even own my native flag, I speak English ALWAYS - even if I go to my old country stores, my kids do not speak a word in my native language, and I have no other loyalties beyond the U.S. I even wrote a book in English.
All of that gives me a moral right to bitch all day long about everything.
Yes, I hate you stupid government for wrecking this great county.
