[Rhodes22-list] Reality Check

[Saroj]

The only U.S. residents I know of that get ahead by working their asses off
and suffereing extreme sacrifices are the illegal immigrants.

You certainly couldn't find very many of them in the Republican Party.

A fictional story, you say?  You got that right!
