Doesn’t seem to have a lot of respect for the laws of the land she grew up in. If she’s not interested in respecting our laws, why should we bend them to let her stay here?

The American’s Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

William Tyler Page (1868-1942)

From Wikipedia...

In 1917 at age 49, Page wrote the American’s Creed as a submission to a nationwide patriotic contest, the goal of which was to have a concise but complete statement of American political faith. Drawing on a wide variety of historical documents and speeches, including the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution, Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and others, he crafted a simple yet profoundly moving expression of American patriotism.

His submission was chosen above more than 3000 others. On April 3, 1918 it was accepted by the U.S. House of Representatives, on behalf of the American people. Today it also often comprises part of the Naturalization Ceremony for new Americans.

Now Jolla ask yourself...

“Did this woman fulfill the ideals of this Creed for those who love and respect and believe in America ???”

Tenn,
Then I ask you do you feel in this situation:

“humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes”

Because I gather from this thread, most here do not, they feel only humanity towards their own not towards others.
