“You can’t force people to shut-up, don’t try to stop them from exercising free speech.”

I didn’t, show me where? Don’t twist my words out of context. I was merely offering suggestion that we might want to think twice before suppressing the speech and faiths of others. Because if we do we will ourselves be next. I respect free speech just as much as freedom of religion. Like this Statue, it is both freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Hypocrisy is the problem I have. Like you trying to suppress my own free speech right now by twisting it into something it is not. Wanting tolerance of our own faith yet being intolerant of others is hypocrisy. Especially when it is based on ignorance of that other faith.

People can complain about that giant statue and our immigration laws and what they are doing to our nation all they want, discussing immigration and it’s effects is how we citizens make immigration law.
