Quote: Unfortunately, immigration lately is largely geared towards a handout.

I know you've been led to believe that, but the immigrants I've met aren't looking for a handout. I come from a family of immigrants who work their butts off. My story isn't nearly as interesting as the anchorman's but it also involves splitting a country that was heading in the wrong direction in favor of the American dream. Like the vast majority of immigrants, we succeeded by being law-abiding citizens, working hard, and getting a few lucky breaks along the way.

No one ever took a cent of welfare or took food stamps, even though we'd probably have qualified.

I think the executive orders issued on Friday will be proven to be a big, fat, huge mistake.
