    “In 2016, I supported Bernie Sanders,” he said. “I fell into your typical leftist stereotype. I was self-entitled. I believed that more government was the answer to everything. I chanted racism. I failed to look at myself in the mirror and failed to consider that if there was an issue it might be not that society was the problem, but that I myself was the problem.”

    I think that this is an interesting story. The article is a quick read.

    Here is a guy who was brought into the country illegally, and has grown to see and appreciate what it is to be an American. Because it's a short article, there isn't much detail. I'd sure like to know how he came to change his outlook.

    He says that he simply grew up. That doesn't really explain how he might have realized that he was on the wrong path. Nor does it explain how so many grownups stay on the wrong path.

    I wish him well, though. And I hope that he becomes a citizen.

    Dunno where you got that from.

    I think that they are of less importance than the rest of our messed up system. A permanent solution for them should be included as a part of a total end to illegal migration.

    Quick read. Little or no substance.

    Maybe he thinks shilling for a right wing political group will improve his chances.

    Leftist ideology gets them here but once they are here they want to be future proof and most (not all) conservative policies work better in this regard
