When I write and say that it’s not our immigration system that’s broken, but our politicians and political system that are broken, the following is what I mean. That, and that illegals might be better accepted if they weren’t all demanding

(Daily Mail) A 19-year-old college student announced for the first time Thursday that she was an undocumented immigrant while addressing Hillary Clinton at an event in New York City.

Nova Bajamonti was picked to ask the former Secretary of State a question at a ‘No Ceilings’ event at the Lower Eastside Girls Club on Thursday.

‘For the first time publicly, I want to say that I am an undocumented immigrant,’ Ms Bajamonti said before tearing up.

She went on to explain that she moved to the United States when she was just 5 years old from Split, Serbia and that her status as an illegal immigrant keeps her from achieving many of her dreams.

‘I don’t have the documentation I need to get a job, to vote, which is essential to women’s representation, to buy an apartment, to take out a loan to go to college, so I couldn’t even go to my dream college because of that,’ she said. According to her Facebook profile, Ms Bajamonti attends Brooklyn College.

She was crying, and the audience was crying and cheering, and Hillary said

Here’s the thing: you’re here illegally. I can’t sympathize or empathize because you Should Not Be Here. We have this thing calked The Rule Of Law. Try going to most nations around the world and see how they would treat illegals. Mexico would throw you in jail.

Citizens might have some sympathy if you said you came to America because you love the nation, because you want to be part of America, you want to help America. That you’ll pay fines and back taxes and do it the way those who come legally do it.

Instead, you’re sitting there whining and Demanding!!!!! that America give you stuff, let you vote, pay your schooling, give you a job.

Get the hell out of here before I call INS.

Oh, wait, what she actually said

The former first lady and presidential hopeful, then took the microphone and praised Ms Bajamonti for her act of courage.

‘That was incredibly brave, and I thank you for doing that because it is important to put ourselves in other people’s shoes,’ Clinton said.

No, it’s important to uphold the law. Sadly, what Hillary said is something that elected politicians and both sides would say.
