\\Not suprised by the polish dude... most polish people i met here living and born in the states have the most racial takes ! I was at a bar in NYC and i lost my ID so i took my American Passport with me as a substitute and I showed the bouncer and he let me in the dive bar and i sat down to order and I hear an Old Polish dude with a accent tell his buddy "well at least we know its legal" as i turned to say "let me see your ID cause your accent is not american" as he started talking shit out loud and I told him" look at the foriegner telling a Mexican American man who is Native to the Americas with Native American ancestry that he does not belong in North America" my friends had my back and the bartneder gave me a free drink and stopped serving the Moron.... want to know something funny... I was born and raised in Brooklyn parkslope and went to a Polish Catholic school from Pre k to kindergarten and i was the only non polish person in the school and I spoke some words in polish as my baby sitter was an old polish woman.

As a native American woman, from the Red Lake Reservation, I'm embarrassed and ashamed. I did not vote for Donald Trump. I am ashamed of his actions.

This woman is right. We need people who are willing to sacrifice their time and their old citizenship to become Americans. She sacrificed a great deal to become a true American citizen. I do not want to be a citizen of another country although I have spent time as a guest worker LEGALLYin other countries. I was not allowed to take jobs in those countries (Japan and Germany) that native workers had the right to take. I was not given benefits or a right to vote. I had a passport which I was required to carry at all times because as a foreign worker I could be stopped and questioned about my legal status. My passport showed my working status in country with the appropriate stamp. I accepted these restrictions as part of my working conditions. I wanted to keep my own citizenship as an American although I could have worked to obtain the fluency level required and the citizenship understanding of law and legal procedures to become a citizen. It would have taken time and waiting for an application to clear. That is what it would have required but I wanted to be an American. I did not renounce my citizenship lightly…nor should anyone without work and thoughtful consideration of what it is to BE a member of that country.
