Agreed. This is the type of person that is good for the country, and did not come here illegally knowingly.

One day when I was 16, I rode my bike to the nearby D.M.V. office to get my driver’s permit. Some of my friends already had their licenses, so I figured it was time. But when I handed the clerk my green card as proof of U.S. residency, she flipped it around, examining it. “This is fake,” she whispered. “Don’t come back here again.”
Great front line of defense we have in our government workers. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Wow. One of our resident conks has the literacy to read a full three paragraphs into the story. I'm pleasantly surprised. :thumb:

I don't have time to read his entire sob story. Kid was 12 years old when he came here...he knew exactly what was happening. :coffee:

Move back to Manilla and be a pulitzer prize winner THERE. There's lots of Virgina Tech-type shit goin' down in the islands. :coffee: :geek:
