WE NEED Americans of all backgrounds to step up and be Americans first. This is a great turn of events.
Good for her with this.

And it wasn't like it was their ancestor's choice to come here. Their ancestors were very instrumental in the building of this nation whether it was by choice or not.
I was just at the article. Apparently the Times removed "Conservative" from the title.
