"... because he phrased it that way..." Yes, you're right. And that's his biggest problem (beyond ideological differences with the Left). The story becomes lost in the morass of sh*t coming from his mouth.
My Dad immigrated to the US in 1955 from Cuba. While it was not a sh*thole, it was a mess. Bautista was selling the island to the mafia and it was a prime example of colonialism. But he came over with nothing except his gymnastics skills (which got him a full-ride to Florida State) and after that he was a 5' 5" man with a thick accent and no marketable skills. But he later earned his Ph. D. in Poli Sci and moved us to Laredo, Texas. He had a great career at the now Texas A&M International, helped put two kids through school, obeyed the law and paid his taxes. He also was very active in youth sports as a coach. And finally, he was probably more patriotic than many native-born Americans. He had perspective. He knew from whence he came and he knew what we are.
