And dont give me any of that 'well youre ancestors were immigrants too' bullshit. Yeah, they were, and they were the ones who fuckin built this nation.

Did someone kick you out of your house, show up at your job and rip the PB&J out of your hand? No? Then these people are simply exercising their right to achieve the things that most of us take for granted. This is such a tired, xenophobic argument I don't think I'm even going to bother.
Amazing how someone can turn an inspirational story about overcoming hardships that most Americans can't imagine into a whine about how "they" are ruining everything for "us," when "we" have it better than 98% of the rest of the world as it is. God forbid anybody else should try to horn in on our good fortune. The nerve of those people who had the audacity to be born outside the U.S. border!!!
Think I'll go listen to "Imagine" a few times to clear the bad taste out of my mouth.
