Yep... exactly this.

The Tea Party sycophants and their ilk have nearly swallowed the GOP whole. Nearly... but they're not gone quite yet and should be making a comeback. Godspeed Mitt Romney. :)

The process took so long that we already had our first kid. We took him and his birth certificate along and put him down on the desk with all our paperwork.

Now that is one heck of an "Exhibit A."

11 years later I passed my citizenship exam and became an American.

Eleven years?! Thank you for your patience, sir.

Anyway, I always regard myself as more of a citizen than people who never even chose to be Americans but just were born to the right parents.

And so you should. If you passed the U.S. citizenship test, you obviously know more than a large swath of the morons in this country who are ignorant rubes with little knowledge of civics, history, spelling, punctuation, etc.

What did the rest of you do to become American?

The same as your progeny... ancestors simply got here a little sooner is all. :)

The Democrats will support the FBI and all that will be left in a couple of weeks will be the gut feelings in both camps:

On the right: the FBI are attacking us

On the left: the right are attacking the FBI to protect the White House

Which of these two would you want your supporters to have internalized in November?

Boy oh boy... talk about cherry picking.

Not nearly the Bombshell it is reported to be... The Dems should read their memo into congressional record today, just so the public can have both views.

I smell a massacre coming.

Devin Nunes !!!!

Yes, we now know that CRS was just Devin's alias, and we'd never have found out until he released the "Bonany Bay" memo!

Don't worry, your secret is safe with us, you see, we have secret meetings we don't invite you or Michale to:

Don't tell anybody!

I can envision the whole scenario in my mind! You were convicted by your fellow Brits of the crime of 'Gross Ignorance of Economic Principles' and sentenced to banishment to the Colonies. Then, turned out that old 'Botany Bay' thing wouldn't work - seems the descendants of all those earlier British convicts no longer accept their own kind, and you wound up over here, where some sweet innocent American girl, having just watched Hugh Grant play the lovable Englishman in "Four Weddings and a Funeral", fell victim to your irresistible English accent, and the rest is history, or as you so aptly stated, "Now we're stuck with you".

I out swam millions of my kin to be the one that fertilized what was, for 9 months, my first apartment! That was some competition!

The only reason that it remains an issue now is that Trump never left the campaign trail — it’s the only part of his job that he actually enjoys! Staying in campaign mode means sticking to campaign topics.

Fixing the immigration system would only serve to hurt Republicans during election season because it would remove one of their favorite hot button issues from the discussion. They don’t know how to campaign in ways that do not include attacking another group of people. And with acceptance of the gay community at record high percentages, Republicans cannot afford to lose immigration from their campaign season hate-arsenal.

And remember, my taxes are paying for your healthcare and retirement. And your defense, roads, clean air and justice system.

You're welcome!

Then I married my American wife, and we had to have a green card interview to ensure that the marriage was real (it also had to wait until I had TB test, AIDS test, etc. otherwise I wasn't eligible).

With the medical all clear, suddenly I discovered a whole new part of the INS - that part that catered to American citizens - talk about "America First".

We had an appointment, we came through a different door to the one for the riff raff, and we were sent to a nice lady in a nice office (instead of talking through bullet proof glass to a surly looking bureaucrat.

The process took so long that we already had our first kid. We took him and his birth certificate along and put him down on the desk with all our paperwork. The lady burst out laughing and told us that this was going to be one of the shorter interviews she needed to do.

11 years later I passed my citizenship exam and became an American.

Great country.

One thing we have to remember is how open America is to immigrants - it is far easier to get into America than the U.K.

The process to get my wife British citizenship would be far more complex and far from guaranteed. She wouldn't even be allowed to stay in the U.K. for any more than a few months without one of us having a job that paid more than $25,000 or we could show $80,000 in liquid assets in a bank account.
