Can't expect any of those politicians to be logical about the situation.

It doesn't matter how well you explain it, they get angry anyway. Like the white folks that are far angrier at being *called* a racist than actual racism. They'll tell stories about how great-grandpa immigrated here from some poor area in Europe with $0.03 and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, then tell you how angry they are about 'illegals' attempting to do the same thing.

I just hope this talented young lady has a strong support system around her.
