I don't think there is any evidence that Robert's was coerced, just speculation. That said, let's assume it's true. Consider this for a moment: someone comes to you and says "It would be a real shame if this thing with your kids were to come out. It would be embarrassing for you of course but I know you'll be fine if it came out. Still, your wife might go to prison and of course we'd have to take the kids and return them to their native country. For their protection we'd make sure you never see them again, of course. Yes, that would be a shame. Now, can we discuss Obamacare for a minute?"
Love of country would be sorely tested.
“Love of country would be sorely tested.”
Perhaps. I always remember the losses (lives, families, finances) the signers of the Declaration of Independence experienced, as well as others involved in America’s founding.
A person’s character is exposed when there’s a choice between self or the greater good of America. Maybe neither is more wrong or right than the other; it’s just a choice. Then the person has to be prepared to live with that decision, whatever it is.
