1. Been through it with hubby

He was so relieved when he became a citizen because he didn’t want to get deported.
It really is stressful.

2. It sounds like it was stressful for John Oliver, too - who knew?

Though both John and your husband were extremely fortunate not to have to face the nightmare that it's become now...

4. Yes, we love

That his citizenship was signed by President Obama!

3. I have worked with a lot of foreign nationals

Five in particular, one from China and four from India, who are wonderful people I have gotten to know well. My life would be poorer without them. America is poorer without them. That's the poverty we need to avoid.

5. Many immigrants are NOT "stone cold killers". It's the resident whites who take care of that chore

12. Considering

many demographics and the graying of the country, these restrictions are going to bite back hard eventually.

In fact, it won't be long before necessity will put pressure on reversing the whole thing and encouraging immigration for practical reasons.
