Psss... the cleaner called your white hooded outfit is ready for your next rally
A very good friend of mine was from Columbia. He made enough doing legal work in that country to go to Germany, where he enlisted in the US army, & thus, became a citizen, even though he'd never stepped on US soil. When his tour was done, he came here & got a job where I was working, & we became friends & eventually roommates for 2 years. When he'd made enough money to buy his dream farm in his native land, he returned, after marrying his childhood sweetheart.
The entire time he was here, he paid his taxes, he did extra work on the side & even claimed that on his taxes, he was a good person in every sense of the word, both as a human being & an American citizen. His work was exemplary, & he helped me & taught me a lot about many things - painting, drywall, working on old cars, dealing with difficult ppl on the job, etc.
THIS is the type of ppl we should be allowing to become citizens, whether or not they decide to stay here makes no difference to me. He could speak our language, & make the best decisions when he voted, based on his knowledge of us & our collective needs. He did no drugs, nor was he a regular drunk. (In fact, I only saw him inebriated twice in two years.) He was a responsible, contributing member of our society the entire time he was here.
I admire this man, & I miss him these days, cuz he was such a great guy. I haven't seen him in 30 years, but I still remember him with that admiration & gratitude of the things he taught me.
More recently, I befriended a Jamaican who was working on a legal visa at a factory I worked at. I drove him to my home for dinner with my family, & we passed a huge sign someone put up in his front yard saying "Stand up for your rights! Join the KKK!" It hadn't been there the previous time I drove through that area, & I was more than embarassed about it. We didn't speak of it at the time, but I'm sure he felt a bit apprehensive as w arrived at the little house I was renting at the time. We treated him like any other guest, & he later told me about worrying that I was setting him up for a beating, or worse, but since we'd worked side by side for a couple months, he seemed to feel a little more safe with me than he would with many of the others we worked with.
So call me a nazi, you small-minded self-important opinionated twit, but get your facts right before you start tossing out names at ppl. You know none of us in here, & the way you've started your posts, it's unlikely you ever will, or even want to.
And from what we've seen of you, we don't care to know much more about you, either.
