He also called on the United States to provide citizenship to its 11 million “undocumented aliens,” saying part of what makes America great is immigrants willing to give up their lives to start fresh in the U.S. Continue reading “Joe Biden on Undocumented Immigrants: ‘Take These People Out of the Shadows’”

Americans are accustomed to snide criticism from abroad of America’s gun culture (National Gun Rights Examiner and Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership contributor David Codreadissects a recent example here). In many cases, gun rightsadvocates in this country should be glad of such criticism, coming as it does from places where the governments and their lapdog media can best honor us only with their vitriolic condemnation.
