It’s amusing and rather curious that pro-illegal activists and politicians seem to have no clue as to what constitutes legal residence and citizenship in this country. They just make up their own requirements, without reference to actual laws, and boldly claim that they are right.
For example, on the so-called “Day without Immigrants” on Feb. 3, an activist member of a group called “BAMN,” or By Any Means Necessary, announced this, apparently with a straight face:
If you live here, if you work here, if you go to school here and you contribute to this society economically or culturally that makes you a citizen and you should have the rights that come with being a citizen.
So, if you’re here, you’re a citizen. Uh-uh. It doesn’t work that way. There are things called “laws,” which govern citizenship.
Okay, Jose Lagos is probably not from around here, and so maybe has an excuse for his ignorance. But what about a high-level state official in the state of, say, New York. That state’s Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado (D) said yesterday that President Trump has “made it seem like, hey, just because you’re here undocumented, even if you’ve been here for decades, even if you’re a DREAMer, even if you pay your taxes, even if you are a positive contributor to society, you don’t have any business being here.”
Right. Unless you’ve followed the rules, filled out the forms, dotted the i’s, and crossed the t’s, no matter how favorably Mr. Delgado looks upon you, YOU DON’T HAVE ANY BUSINESS BEING HERE. It’s that simple. Why is that such a hard concept for these people to grasp?
