You know...Bill Clinton once said: "
We are still a nation of immigrants; we should be proud of it. We should honor every legal immigrant here, working hard to become a new citizen. But we are also a nation of laws." Not anymore... You say, what a country we live in these days... sorry, no. A country has its borders, its laws and it vigorously defends its borders and enforces its laws. We don't. Thank you President Biden. And I'm saying this is as a LEGAL immigrant who only has 1 continent left to visit. Notice how NOBODY on the left or in power uses the word "legal" anymore. Need I say more?
Also, as Bill Maher famously said: "When I was a kid, I wanted to be a pirate. Thank God, nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and pegleg surgery." It's funny how we've normalized infantile or mentally ill behavior and protected it against "discrimination" so instead of helping those people via mental health help, we simply made crazy "normal" and if you don't like it, you're a bigot and an *ist.
What a country we live in these days, indeed....
