The president talks about fairness? FAIRNESS!?!? For someone who's an alleged legal and constitutional specialist, he ought to know the important distinction between fairness and law. The law states that there are certain protocols that need to be followed if you're going to enter our country legally. That's the law. It's not about fairness, it's about the FUCKING LAW.
And honestly, the things we expect from immigrants seem reasonable to me. Learn the language. Learn the history. Learn the culture. Assimilate into our society and become a contributing member to it. That's not a lot to ask. You don't wish to do these things? Then get the fuck out.
When my great grandfather brought his family over from Sicily in 1921, they wanted to know who was meeting him here, did he have work waiting for him, was he sick or not, and did he have $20 in his pocket.
Jesus, I'm so god damned tired of this shit.
