It's your day! Happy Citizens' Day. It's also Constitution Day.
40 years ago, Mrs. Paco, originally from Chile, became a U.S. citizen. And she did it the old fashioned way - she had applied for a resident visa years before, waited the stipulated time, and then formally applied for citizenship. She took her oath at a huge ceremony in the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, presided over by then-Vice President George H.W. Bush.
And there is no fiercer opponent of our out-of-control borders than she.
So you're suggesting, perhaps, that people who follow the law have little patience for those who violate it?
ReplyDeleteBig, if true.
"And there is no fiercer opponent of our out-of-control borders than she."
ReplyDeleteBecause she knows the value of being a responsible citizen. Bravo!
Of course, her reward for doing things the right way was marrying the scion of Paco Enterprises, with all the benefits & privileges therein, so naturally she would be an opponent of anything less.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Mrs. P. In the years of my husband's army tour and then my years working at my university, I have met many immigrants who did it the right way, as well as those who were (supposed to be anyway) here temporarily. The legal ones were uniformly for protected borders and though they often complained of having to jump through hoops, not one of them approved of just walking in illegally. Their lives are impacted too.
ReplyDelete¡Bien hecho, señora Paco!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the new citizens! And congratulations to Mrs. Paco! She values her citizenship because she earned it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and gratitude to the Founding Fathers for the Constitution! We are blessed.
Mrs. Paco sends along her thanks for the good wishes. She is a better American than any Democrat I can think of.
