With all the talk on the Internet on how America is becoming a "fascist" state or "Germany circa 1938", you'd think that people were heading towards the border in record numbers. The problem is, that's not happening. It's all a bunch of bullshit by idiots jumping on the anti-American bandwagon.
Three Oklahoma National Guard members in El Paso, Texas, preparing for deployment to Iraq have become United States citizens.
Jamaica native Sgt. Gareth Wilson, 27; Spc. Oyewale Hotonu-Oyerinde, 28, from Nigeria; and Tulsan Sgt. Adam Ngotngamwong, whose father is from Thailand and whose mother is Canadian, all gained their citizenship on Friday, expedited by their service with Oklahoma's 45th Infantry Brigade.
"I just wanted to go to Iraq as an American citizen," said Tulsan Ngotngamwong, 25, who previously deployed in 2004 to Afghanistan. "It makes it closer to home. You are fighting for your country, instead of just being a legal citizen."
"I just wanted to be deployed as a citizen. Also, it's an election year and I wanted to vote," he said.
Welcome to America boys. I want you to serve honorably in our military and live your lives out in prosperity here in your new home. I welcome you with open arms.
I get a lot of hate mail about my stance on illegal immigration, but I wanted to take this story to prove a point. These men went through the proper channels and came here legally. I have absolutely no problem with that and in fact, I encourage anyone who wants to make a better life for themselves to do the same. However, I want to point it out that I mean LEGALLY.
Welcome to your new home men. I'm proud to call you "my people".
Travis
