As a legal immigrant, I came to America because
it was the shining city on the hill where everything was possible
if you were willing to work hard because everyone had the freedom
and equal opportunity to succeed.I came to America because I wanted to pursue higher education,
something that was very limited under communism as the children of
the communist party elite had first choice at any college no matter
how bad their grades were….We knew there was a better place to live, a place called
capitalism, a place called America, where they had freedom of speech
and assembly. I knew there was a better life under capitalism where
everybody had the opportunity to create wealth if they served their
fellow man with needed products and services. I also knew that
equal results were not guaranteed, only equal opportunity.I did not want to live any longer under the failed socialist
economy and the failed communist utopian ideology where wealth was
stolen, property plundered, and the workers, lovingly called the
proletariat, were enslaved with the false promise that the
government will take care of them if they relinquished their most
cherished possession their freedom….I wanted freedom to exercise my faith if I so chose and be able
to own or read a Bible. I wanted my children to learn historical
truth, not revisionist communist indoctrination….I came to America to escape having to march in May 1 (May Day)
forced parades paying homage to the grand communist party.
Yet now our President has
proclaimed May Day Loyalty Day, to reaffirm our allegiance to
the United States of America, our Constitution, and our founding
values. Do we really need a loyalty day? Are we not loyal to our
country already? …Take for instance Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) who spoke on May Day
in Chicago to a rally of nearly two thousand trade unionists, open
communists, socialists, anarchists and illegal aliens. He spoke of
May Day as Law Day. I must admit, I have never heard of such
celebration, Law Day.Sen. Durbin,
quoted by Rebel Pundit, said that, because he believes in free
speech and the Constitution, he decided to come to Law Day rally
attended by individuals who promoted the goals of communism. It is
hard to believe – I fled communism 35 years ago and communism is
following me to the United States….We did get immigration reform in 1986 for 3 million illegal
aliens and it did not work so well, we have gained since then 11
more million illegal immigrants….According to the Border Patrol, thousands have been apprehended
since the administration and the Gang of Eights announcement of
amnesty has been made. …Our President took an apology tour to Mexico to tout his
immigration reform and shore up more Democrat voting support for the
upcoming election. According to Daniel Halper of the Weekly
Standard, he made the following gaffe, It would provide a pathway
to earned citizenship for the 11 million individuals who are already
in this country illegally. ….I came to this country to find freedom and I did find it for a
while. But the bright lights of the shining city on the hill are
getting dimmer day by day, and the shining city is getting more
tarnished with every new regulation, law, executive order, and
proclamation that benefits illegals and other foreign groups and
hurts American citizens.Read the
