Thanks Tenzing.

Immigrants, papers and Obama change.  Reminds me of what “we” and people like Rand Paul used to say about my Irish ancestors.

“The negro is black on the outside; the Irishman is black on the inside.”

“The Irish fill our prisons, our poor houses…Scratch a convict or a pauper, and the chances are that you tickle the skin of an Irish Catholic. Putting them on a boat and sending them home would end crime in this country.”

Reality, history and pretend change…do not look for many citizens of the Homeland to comprehend any of it, any time soon.
