Become an American legally that's all there is.
Oh cry me a river. Of course they are going to be rejected when they seek to harm the country by walking out of work.
As far as the reject embrace meter. Pre walk out I mostly embraced but did have some reservations because I do realize they have a negative impact on the economy because they keep wages low and stagnant.
Now I lean well into the reject range. They showed their true colors by walking out. Anyone who seeks to damage or harm this country in any way shape or form isn't worth a damn.
My roots here go back to 17th century New England and Pennsylvania. Being American, I love this country. But I believe people can be called to be American, so come here legally, be naturalized and love your new country.
Born in the U.S.A. so inbred. I must comment however I had the opportunity to speak to Russian immigrants and was told America truly is the "land of milk and honey". They also said that in Russia they are told propaganda that paints America in a bad way so they are terribly misled. They could not get used to the idea they could travel state to state without showing papers.
There are 2 buildings that created this great Nation and are still found scattered across our lands; barns and churches. Assimilation....
Love, support, loyalty, law-abiding and willing to defend your country.
What makes someone American is they dont give a rats behind about your opinion of what is american. They know and believe in their right to define this themselves.
