That's true, but I can't recall either party ever reaching out to immigrants so directly. And his pitch is very enticing. "I left a horrible place, came to America with just the shirt on my back, didn't speek the language, and now look at me . . . I became Mr. Olympus 7 times, the biggest movie star in the world, married into royalty, got a college education and a masters degree, became governor, and now I'm knocking on the door to the presidency . . . isn't America great?"
It's the same story of countless immigrants to this country over the last 400 years, albeit, on steroids.
etft -- t.s.
