I watched the Presidential Address on Immigration Reform tonight.
The story of the woman who was brought here when she was four, learned English by reading the paper and watching PBS, and went on to attain more than one collegiate degree.

I can just see some dick Tea-Party-er thinking to themselves "Well "I" didn't have the opportunity to go to college, so that's not fair to me at all don't "I" deserve what she has? Why didn't "I" have that just GIVEN to ME??? I'M AN AMERICAN! Why am "I" not worthy?!?!?

your parents didn't work FOUR FUCKING JOBS to see that you got to do that. THAT'S WHY.
