Sotelo, who came to the country illegally 22 years ago in a car trunk, chronicled his own citizenship process as he urged fellow Hispanics to seek citizenship at a time when immigration is still a hot-button issue and a presidential election is underway........

Sotelo, the outspoken host of the Los Angeles-based morning show "Piolin por la manana," has used his syndicated soapbox to rally hundreds of thousands to march for immigration reform and encourage legal residents to become Americans. The show is aired in at least a dozen U.S. markets.

"Now we have one more vote to defend our rights," Sotelo said of his citizenship. ___________________________________________

If he is citizen of the US now, why is he still "defending" the so-called "rights" of illegal aliens ???

What's with the "we" ???

Where's the pride in being an American citizen ???

Where I became a citizen, I cried all day...

I was so happy, proud, ad humbled by the idea that I was now a citizen of the greatest country in the world..

No one who comes to the country “illegally,” should be allowed to become a US Citizen.

"I want to vote. It's time we take action to shape the way the country is being run."

This is damn frightening---an illegal who probably got citizenship with fraudulent documents is now intending to run a country built on the rule of law?

And this stupid sucker sees no problem with that.

Nana, Nana, Nana, these are the ‘new citzens’. Many of them seem to be new Americans in name only.

This piece of garbage is a CINO....Citizen In Name Only. Someone should clue this SOB in to the fact that if he goes subversive, the citizenship can be taken away!!!

“”I want to vote. It’s time we take action to shape the way the country is being run.””

If they don’t like the way we ‘run’ the country, stay in MEXICO! We don’t want to live in MEXICO!!!!! Once this guy entered illegally he should have NEVER been given citizenship.

“A Day in the Life of USCIS”- (Is this any way to protect our nation?)

by Mike Cutler, former INS agent

http://uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/DayinLife_050629.pdf (click here to see orignial document)

Some of the DAILY work of USIS according to their own document:

* Conduct 135,000 national security background checks

* process 30,000 applications for immigrant benefits

* Issue 7,000 permanent resident cards (green cards -PER DAY)

* Welcome 2100 new citizens.

* Welcome 3500 new permanent residents.

Does this look like we are not allowing enough “Legal” entries?

Just think....Piolin the criminal is now Piolin "The American".

He has no criminal record because he was never prosecuted for his crimes. On the contrary, he was rewarded a thousand fold over for his crimes.

He can become a police officer, a judge, a politician, can join the United States military and carry a mega-firepower weapon.

He will be entitled to the highest security clearances in the land, because his past in this instance will not be considered. The agencies would be terrified to deny him, there was a court case about denying immigrants (which he now is) about 15 years ago (it was posted in the halls of many aerospace companies).

So Piolin now has more rights than just about any American ever. He is a foreigner who broke in, abused pretty much every law he could, and now is rewarded with access to pretty much everything that 13 generations of my family fought and died for.

When would the people in the government of the United States do that for anyone in my family?

Dual citizenship is allegiance schizophrenia, or treason, by both those who claim it and those who honor it.

Make a choice without cowardice and live in that country.

Nationalism is not evil.

Good neighbors co-exist peacefully everywhere.

My guess is 10% will vote Republican or conservative. Not an asset to The Republic. Lots of laborers and lots of welfare bums. But not too many lovers of freedom unless you mean economic freedom. The right to make bigger buck than in the 3rd world holes most hail from

Sorry for the pessimism but our Veterans didn’t fight and die for a US citizenship to be diluted & rendered more worthless each year
