Wonder if one of you progressive types could 'splain something to me about this immigration thing. I do understand that as an American citizen, I have certain rights afforded me by the Constitution. I don't recall, however, anything that said I had the right to up and leave here and go to another country and when I got there, that country would be obliged to feed clothe, house and tend to my health care. Do other countries give that right to their citizens? If they don't than what right does that lil' feller with tears in eyes crying about wanting a better life have to come here and expect me to pay for it? Inquiring minds want to know.

In fact if you want to leave and move to another country America will not stop you. The country you are emigrating to determines whether you can stay or not.

For answers to your clueless/trolling questions I recommend asking Lucy and a The National Enquirer subscription.

Dang! And here I thought it was a legitimate question, but I will grant you it's easier to call names than face a reality.
