Wtf. Source?

I'm guessing Kelly since he didn't go to the Davos meeting so he can work on immigration.

We are in the fight of our lives and we know exactly what those who oppose us think of us. You can't just dismiss them saying "it's their problem" because that doesn't help us at all.

Think about it for a second. We are basing our position on "I'm just as American as you because I grew up here" and then you see some random brown dude with a heavy accent demanding green cards for all. Look at it from the other side's perspective. Changing the narrative can only help us at this point.
Bro, I refuse to put myself in the shoes of those who are racist against us because of race and ethnic reasons, I can't see this from their perspective and think it's ok.

But I have my opinion, and you have yours. If "brown dude with an accent" situation is something that bothers you, I suggest you getting in touch with those activists and express your point of view.

It's foolish to think that your lack of accent is going to change a racist's mind

So this sinks the deal with the dream act? Since he wants to limit USC for DACA only.

Using slang makes you look less educated than someone who many have an accent and speak good English with proper grammar. It's hypocritical to criticize or look down on someone with an accent when you yourself are in a worse position when you talk like a thug.

Well, someone said we should have white dreamers with no accents on ads, what would be the reason for this? If isn't to change the mind of racists, I don't know why it is for.
