You don't come up here from Mexico, get yourself naturalized and then start bitching about how things are done.

Bitchin is a privilege reserved for us who have paid our dues by living our whole lives here.
So, in other words, no?

And, frankly, I don't know very many people who "bitch about how things are done" as much as you do. Why are you entitled and Ramos not? Because you were born here and he wasn't?

Ask Bobodode about California?

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this. Often I am tempted to ask if things are any better in your ancestral homeland? I have lived in the US for over 45 years, yet it is an adopted land. There is a difference.

Still waiting.

Oh, and I'm in California too.

But the fact is, you're not so I have to wonder where you get your ideas about the way things are out here.

You should run that question by Prez Nieto.

No. I am against open borders. It so happens that Hispanics, especially Mexicans are the blatant and brassiest violators of the country's laws relating to immigration.

Reagan gave them more than a leg up and they in response behave as if the people who want and desire orderly immigration are essentially evil.

California is doing just fine under Gov. Brown and our overwhelming Democratic majority in Sacramento, thank you very much.

A little rain might help, though.

First of all, what TJ saw on YouTube was Ramos going after Trump for his absurd and racist diatribes against Mexico and Mexicans. He was not, as Tom suggested, bitching about the country.

And what if he was? If you love a country, it doesn't mean you ignore its faults. A true patriot will speak out and do what he or she can to correct those faults, making the country they love even better.

And, Rajoo, your last sentence reads more like the words of a guest than a citizen. "Mustn't be rude to the host!"

There are not two tiers of citizenship here.
