Thank you for this. We've met Rachel and adore her. She's been VERY good to us and we appreciate whole heartedly what she does for this community.MABretAF link wrote: Midwest Couple,
I really think that you misread what she wrote. I've read this post and her other posts here for months, and she's absolutely not bashing the country. Her posts about her attaining citizenship showed she's very proud to have become a U.S. citizen. And her comment about immigrants 'not being citizens' seemed sarcastically aimed at another individual's viewpoint. She's obviously pro-immigration. Your comment about being 'asinine, ignorant, and wrong' was also very pointed. Perhaps you could engage in a respectful exchange of ideas with her - one proud immigrant to another proud immigrant. (Again, I read it differently from you; so maybe clarification is in order.)
That said, we don't always fall on the same side of a forum post and we trust she's never been concerned with our respectful disagreement when we are on opposite sides. If we were wrong about how we read the OP, or we took it out of context - we apologize.
