Folks, no commentary needed. Just watch.
The Grateful Ones
She came from Mexico. In her words: “I came from Mexico. I came legally… I have never asked for a penny to the government.”
Then she watched rioters in Los Angeles wave another country’s flag. Her answer: “You are waving the flag of another country that you love? Go. You don’t need to be here. You don’t deserve to be here.”
He came from Korea in 1976. Paperboy. Dry cleaner owner for 20 years. Retired in his early 40s. On America’s 249th birthday: “This is a land of opportunity for all the immigrants… Thank you America. Thank you Americans. I love you all.”
Now the Ungrateful
Dearborn, Michigan. April 5, 2024. Al-Quds Day rally. The speaker tells the crowd to pour their chants “upon the head of America.” The crowd chants, in Arabic, “Death to America.” Then: “It’s the entire system that has to go.”
September 2025. Same city. A resident objects to a street sign and reminds the council that Hezbollah bombed our embassy in Beirut. The mayor: “You are an Islamophobe. And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade…”
Their words. Not mine. Easy to decide.
My verdict? Grateful on the first two. Ungrateful on the second.
Now you weigh in. Grateful, or Ungrateful? Cast your verdict in the comments, then send it to someone who needs to see this.
Pick a side. Promote or Defend.
Get the Grateful vs. Ungrateful tee
Spine, not knees.
LIVE GRATEFUL 🇺🇸
