from abc’s new eli stone show:
“it would have been easier to go through the naturalization process, instead they doused themselves with water so they wouldn’t dehydrate when they were crammed into a hidden compartment of a pick up truck… and they didn’t do it, so they could come and pick strawberries, they did it because they believed in america.
in russia, iraq, afghanistan, we’re seeing, first hand, the seeds of democracy… they don’t grow on every patch of earth. the freedom we have here is unique, it’s special. they were willing to risk their lives for it. i’m not saying that citizenship should be a prize for making it over the border. i’m not saying that immigration isn’t a major issue facing this country. but they’re not a policy, they’re people… and if this truly is the home of the brave, then they’re just as american as anyone in this country.”
