He looks like appa from avatar <| sep |> All 50 states are unique in their own way and all deserve a voice in how Federal is handled . It ' s people that deserve a voice , not states . If you ' ve read a recent article bashing the EC saying how it ' s somehow racist , just see what the exact same outlet was saying about it in ' 08 and ' 12 . There was no difference between electoral college and popular vote in those years , just as there wasn ' t in 2004 , so those aren ' t really comparable to the issue at play here . Seriously , you ' re not very smart , are you ? You haven ' t really thought this through , have you ? <| sep |> any back shots ? ? 😀 <| sep |> FUCK IT GO PACK GO ! <| sep |> Them not having paperwork has nothing to do with them assimilating . They are two separate issues . What are you betting against if you do not have a record of that person ? Their words ? Their actions since that have been in processing ? What do we really know about that person before they got here ? As far as assimilation , a cornerstone of being American is just that , being American . Accepting our ideals , obeying our laws , and embracing our traditions . This does not mean abandoning their culture , but embracing ours . We have communities that do not believe that they should assimilate into the country that has welcomed them with open arms and I disagree with that .
