No good sentence ever started with those words.
But this CNN article slightly concerns me:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/19/greencard.marine/index.html
I’m aware how sweet the El Salvadorian/American soldier looks and that fighting for our country is noble.
However.
Just taking a devil’s advocate position here, but… The article says 37,000 people have risked their lives to become U.S. citizens. Firstly, I’m offended. And only because they’re making me look bad.
Secondly – We’re training foreigners to kill and then not just allowing them entry to the country but making them citizens? That's not inherently wrong, but why are people still complaining about a Mexican/American fence when we’re inviting people in?
Sure, you have a higher chance of dying in Kabul than at Ellis Island, but come on. We distract people FROM the war by hating immigrants while THOUSANDS of immigrants are keeping the war going so that they can entry the country legally? That's one hell of a vicious circle.
And again – We are training foreign nationals to kill with our weapons. Just saying.
And they should seriously stop making me look bad. I'm going to go wave a flag now.
