She knew that America was not founded on Socialist Doctrines. On the contrary, America seeks to defeat Socialism because its tenets are antithetical to liberty.
Yet, when given the chance, Kshama Sawant sought to move to the United States for what can only be understood as a better life than the one she left in India.
As a software engineer, she applied for and was granted a working visa. After that, initial research shows that she became a US citizen in 2010.
To become a US citizen, and I will abbreviate the entire process, she would have been given the task of learning about our form of government. Then, she would have gone for her interview where an immigration officer would ask her questions on the things she learned.
How do I know this? This was what I had to do to become a citizen. Now, the next step for her was her oath taking. She would have had to take the oath of pledging her loyalty to the country she voluntarily chose to be a part of.
Sometime from then to when she ran for office, there would have had to have been a change. Either that or she already had the views and feelings she currently espouses and she completely lied to the immigration officer.
To be fair, she did not deceive the citizens of Seattle. She was openly a socialist by then and yet they voted her into office. It’s Seattle after all. Sawant claims that she became “radicalized” when she saw the inequity of the rich and poor in America. BS! She’s telling us she didn’t see that in India? It would have been strikingly visible. Who is she, Helen Keller?
‘Knowing this, I’m more of the belief that she lied her way into becoming a citizen. If her claim that inequity is such a catalyst for her in fighting for change, why didn’t she do that in her native India?Did the United States really need her unique abilities as an agent for change that she showed in India? Wait, she didn’t do that in India!
What bothers this grateful immigrant, is that instead of being thankful for the wonderful opportunity afforded to her by the citizens of this country, (Not necessarily just Seattle) she seeks to fundamentally change it.
One does not love something she seeks to fundamentally change!
Don’t take my word for it, there’s enough about her on the web that you can look for yourself. Being grateful doesn’t mean she couldn’t be critical. Critical is one thing, but doing what she’s done….
I’ll just leave it at this…
She is now with the group in Seattle who has declared themselves an autonomous region within the United States! If that’s not an Ingrate, I don’t know what is? Some would say, a traitor!
Here’s a link to her subversiveness. Judge for yourself.
