And I think most like him. He works hard. He pays taxes. He is a great father and a great husband. Did you know that he is NOT a US citizen and has no intention to become one. I fully support that. He is a legal alien resident aka has a permanent green card.
Did you know when I lived in the UK, that I was not a British citizen and had no intention to become one. I had a wife visa and was able to work. Why should either of us give up our citizenship to our countries when we can live in either? And our kids are citizens of both countries.
Even more shocking... when Ben and I fell in love, he stayed even tho his visa ran out. We even got married. Should I have given up the love of my life until the paperwork was sorted? I have been escorted by rifles out of our country cause my husband and I told the truth coming back from Scotland after we were married the 2nd time. (We were married 1 month earlier in the US cause we wanted to be married in both countries. Thought we had done his paperwork right, but we did not.) We were sent back to London to find the embassy and sort it out. Nice, huh? Ben and I are such criminals. The lady at the Embassy said it is always the honest people who get screwed. The dishonest people know how to get around the system.
I think it is easy to cast stones and assume until you have walked in someone else's shoes. I do not think anyone has purposely tried to offend me and I beleive everyone is entitled to their opinion, but hey, this is my opinion. There are many way people screw the system or not to help Americans or our economy. Anyone have crafty accts who get them extra tax dollars back? Who drives a foreign car? Who shops at Walmart? Anyone work under the table? Anyone ever accpet Wick or welfare? Who pays for criminals in jail? I guess the beauty of it is that we live in a free land and that means that we can all express our opinion freely.
Ok, I am tired, so I am off to bed.
