Henry Cejudo called it the American dream.

The son of undocumented Mexican immigrants who had to work two jobs to keep food on the table, Cejudo gave the U.S. its first Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling in Beijing with a stunning win Tuesday over Japan's Tomohiro Matsunaga in the 55-kilogram (121 pounds) final

"I'm living the American dream right now, man," Cejudo, wrapped in an American flag, said moments after his win. "The United States is the land of opportunity. It's the best country in the world and I'm just glad to represent it."

A joyful Cejudo, 21, broke into tears on the mat at the end of the match, then took a victory lap around the China Agricultural University Gymnasium.

"This is what I always wanted," he said. "The frustration was let out. The hard work and everything.

What do you do about guys like this one?

One of the first marines killed in Iraq was from Honduras - illegally. He walked all the way as a kid to get here and enlisted so he could be a citizen.

We have to find a way to deal with this without committing ethnic and cultural suicide while still being fair.

"Can’t you cheer for the guy and this great country?"

I agree that it is sad,
but - no.

He is a U.S. citizen just like you and me. Can’t you cheer for the guy and this great country?

"This is cool. Coming out of a Mexican American background, it feels good to represent the U.S.," said Cejudo, who was born in Los Angeles. "Not too many Mexicans get the chance to do that."

Who is he talking about? Of course not "too many mexicans" get to represent the U.S.

Makes you wonder what he thinks of himself.

No...anchor babies are frauds and just wait until they start voting en mass.

As far as this wrestler guy- good for him but I don’t appreciate anchor babies. It’s a scam and the 14th Amendment never allowed this

Russia invading Georgia is unfair.
Not allowing anchor babies citizenship would be very fair

Better watch it there, pard. Reminding everyone that, ultimately, it is our responsibility - as opposed to the foggy concept of Almighty Benevolent Government - gets the rats and rinos creeping round mighty riled up.

Yo Dog...why don't you give it a rest...this guy should never have been on the US Olympic Team, he and his family are not Americans they are invaders, they are thieves and have broken many laws to stay in our country. How many Illegal Aliens did the Chinese or any other country at the Olympics allow to compete, ZERO. Only patsies like you would be proud of this Son of Criminals having displaced a legitimate US Citizen from an opportunity to compete in the Olympics. I hate the hypocrisy of this fraudulent sportsmanship that the fraud Olympics supply in vast quantities.
Personally I prefer we enforce the Immigration Laws and get rid of all the ILLEGAL ALIENS by any way possible!
