Of course, you all could just be a bunch of xenophobic Buchananites, who oppose all immigration, even the legal kind, in which case, never mind.

You chose the wrong chicken to pick on. Both sets of my grandparents were LEGAL immigrants.

I am not sure what your response means. His post was about Legal immigrants.

You obviously didn’t read my post closely. I’m married to a legal immigrant. I was pointing out the fallacy that many of the responders seem to be laboring under, to wit: that all those green cards were handed out to illegal aliens and jobseeking immigrants who have no interest in becoming part of the country. Yelling “treason” and talking about how the Zero has betrayed our country because a bunch of people’s green cards made it through the system on his watch is ridiculous.

Also, given your grandparents’ situation, I’m surprised you posted this article. It is obviously written solely to inflame the sentiments of anyone who has no understanding of the green card process. Since your grandparents were legal immigrants, I don’t see why you would have a problem with other people going through the same legal process, regardless of the current labor situation (again, note that the green card process is often long and arduous, and many of the recipients in this article likely started their process under W, possibly even during his first term).
