You mean his parents didn't sneak him across the Yugoslavian border into the United States?

Congrats Igor.

What's the wrong way?

I thought you were going to tell me he'd been named the new GM.

Letting your work visa expire and not caring.

 

[elindholm]

Letting your work visa expire and not caring.

Uh, I'm pretty sure you don't become a citizen for that. Perhaps you're unclear on what citizenship means.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Letting your work visa expire and not caring.

That's a bad way to handle things. First off, you have to force your assistant into a marriage proposal. And, secondly you have to book a flight to Alaska. It's easier to just keep your visa up to date.

I know what citizenship means. Maybe you are unclear of the illegal immigration problem in our country?

 

[Mulli]

Letting your work visa expire and not caring.

That makes you a U.S. citizen?

 

[Tyler]

That makes you a U.S. citizen?

According to Obama drama I believe so.

 

[elindholm]

Maybe you are unclear of the illegal immigration problem in our country?

Of course not. I asked you what the wrong way to become a citizen is, and you said it's to become an illegal. That makes no sense. Illegals aren't citizens.

 

[Tyler]

Tell that to everyone who is fighting for their so called rights.

 

[Mulli]

This thread rules.

You're smart.

 

[mojorizen7]

I have reasonable suspicion that this thread will be locked at some point.

How does congratulating someone for going through the citizenhip process turn into such a bizzae debate?

Slow news day.

 

[Sunburn]

I love political messages thinly veiled as basketball related threads *sarcasm*

 

[Tyler]

I was seriously congratulating him for taking the proper avenues to be in this country.

elindholm's childish questions baited this into a political thread. Get over yourself.

 

[Yuma]

Congrats to a someone in the Suns organization on a great accomplishment. Hopefully Dragic is next!

This is a statement with a political agenda. Whether you'd like to defend it as not, with all of the political immigration controversy going on at the moment, is your business. Foolish imo, but your business.

 

[elindholm]

elindholm's childish questions baited this into a political thread.

Bzzt. Your original post had a political agenda, which I didn't realize. I thought you were making a point about different paths to citizenship, when in fact you were sideswiping illegal aliens. Had I recognized the intent of your thread in the first place, I never would have bothered responding. The issues with illegal immigration are far too complex to be debated in this kind of setting.

 

[Mainstreet]

You are so correct. There have always been political refugees that flee their home country and end up becoming U.S. citizens. Such was the case as those who fled communism.

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost forgot, congratulations Igor Kokoskov.

 

[Tyler]

Political refugees vs people exploiting this country by sending money back to mexico are two COMPLETELY different subjects.

Last thing I say politics wise in the Suns forum......tonight.
