Don't assume she is being dishonest–it may just be she doesn't have the full story, and is thus merely misinformed. Alternatively, it may also be that not every Liberian is having an easy time of obtaining citizenship.

What he says is just plain truth. I support a solution to this specific problem, but to relate it to immigration as a whole is dishonest at best. <br><br>Ms. Craft is also deceptive in saying in her last paragraph that these immigrants are denied an opportunity to become citizens. I have many Liberian friends who have become citizens. Ms. Craft and I are on the same side on this issue, I would just prefer she would not damage the cause by being less than honest.

These are legal immigrants to begin with; they did violate US laws to enter the country. To imply this specific issue is related to the issue surrounding immigrants who have illegally entered the country, who have illegally worked in this country by employers who also have no respect for the law is deceptive.
