I can't get along with the fact there are so many people putting anti stranger crap on this site, about someone of whom they know nothing. Did they do something to earn the right to be in this country, or were they simply, like me born here? People who come from abroad generally are either fleeing terrible conditions, and who could grudge them that, or trying to make a better living for themselves, which is only possible by contributing to the society we live in.
