Slight clarification -- they believe America is better than their own country. Which it is in many ways, due in part to their own unwillingness to make them better. So now we're stuck with millions of free riders who expect the dream to be awaiting them.
Those who immigrate "legally" have to pass an exam...
Maga literally is “make America great again”, not “keep America great”. They are the ones who believe America isn’t great. It’s right on the brochure.
I don’t consider myself an expert on immigration, and PBS is obviously more liberal than conservative, but I think there’s some truth in this article. The immigration system needs to be fixed so people aren’t here illegally, but legal or not we depend on immigration to a large extent.

Oh, I support immigration.

How migrant workers have contributed to strong U.S. job growth
It turns out that the influx of foreign-born adults vastly raised the supply of available workers at a time when a labor shortage had left many companies unable to fill jobs. Over the past year, in fact, immigrants have accounted for all the growth in U.S. employment.
Yup - irrelevant. Those who were specifically looking for any excuse and had access to every means to dig something up didn't conclude that Trump engaged in anything illegal related to the 2016 election with regard to Russia - but you know better. All you can do is cry about other people.
The nature of what you say says otherwise. You even call non-crimes "crimes".
Laughing as I ponder the various hissing invectives and name-calling you've hurled.
Was it a different Leddy who wrote - "Trump escaped being tied to actual crimes"?

Sure that conveys honest objectivity - lol.
Do you find E. Jean Carroll's claims credible?
Are you good with an AG being elected on an "I'm gonna get Trump!" platform?
You think Bragg's rationale for resurrecting an alleged misdemeanor that's past the statue of limitations is solid?
I'm not so sure we have the same motivations. I am not criticizing your participation I'm just wondering why you bother. Yeah Canada is our largest and closest partner in everything but you can't vote here. Do you think the results will make much difference in your life?
I was born in Cali, and have lots of family in Idaho and Montana.
Fair enough. Carry on. (Not that you need my permission...
)So that brings up a question. You are a US citizen by birth. Do you hold dual citizenship now? How does any of that affect your franchise in either nation? I am genuinely curious about this. Can a dual citizenship holder vote in both and if not how does one declare a choice?
Oh yeah we can vote in both.
Scary. That means you canucks have extended influence.
See bottom comment.
I have, but only in response to yours. I’m not proud of that, but trying to do better. You don’t seem to be trying.Laughing as I ponder the various hissing invectives and name-calling you've hurled.
I don’t like judgements based solely on testimony. I don’t know what physical evidence exists. I read something about her wanting a DNA sample from Trump and I don’t know if he complied. I do know Trump lied about never meeting her since she was able to produce a photograph of them together.
As Dave has already said, there’s a long list of people who ADMITTED criminal activity doing Trump’s bidding. I don’t know about you, but there’s not really anyone I’ve ever worked for that I was willing to go to jail for. Takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to ridicule others for suspecting Trump has something to do with it.
I am able/allowed to have dual citizenship. That said, last time I checked you had to have a passport from both countries, but I only have a canucklehead passport and Nexus card. And yes, I believe that were I to hold a US passport I could vote there.
Scary. That means you canucks have extended influence.
Crap! That means more Trudeau and more Biden. We’re doomed!
Dave is a West Coast voter. That explains it all.Oh fuck! I hadn't thought of that.
Interesting. Cool - thanks for answering. I am a born and raised New Hampshire boy so US citizen only. I very well remember the pre 9/11 days when we could drive north 100 miles, cross the border and ski in Quebec. No passport bullshit required. Quick check to make sure you weren't smuggling smokes or folks and "Welcome to Canada." (Not so much coming back. US customs guys were always assholes. Cop mentality.) Anyway them days are long past. Last time I was north of the border was flying back from Alaska via Vancouver and Toronto about five years ago but prior to that was the Canadian GP in 1988. Ayrton Senna FTW!
Without getting into the weeds on the particulars of whether indictments, guilty pleas or even convictions are ever politically motivated or synonymous with actual guilt, none of it resulted in the Mueller shamvestigation finding that Trump colluded with Russia regarding the 2016 election - ergo, irrelevant.
Funny story...
