...the stupidity level on Fox News had bottomed out...

Laura Ingraham bore even deeper into the depths of stupidity of
unimaginable proportion. Ingraham called Puerto Ricans immigrants.

On her radio show, Ingraham said Associate Supreme Court Justice
Sotomayor’s “allegiance obviously goes to her [Puerto Rican] immigrant
family background and not to the Constitution of the United States.

Puerto Ricans are United States Citizens and are NOT immigrants.

Immigration is defined as "To enter and settle in a country or region
to which one is not native." It says nothing about citizenship.
New Yorkers are immigrating to Texas. (and are just about as welcome)



Whoosh.

Diarrhea? Greg just showed Laura was correct. That went over your head? I don't think so.


Greg is misusing the term. In most common usage, an immigrant is someone
who comes into your country from another country. That's how Ingraham
was using the term...it was obvious from her hate-filled comment that
she thinks Puerto Rico is "another country," and not part of the United
States territories, and that Puerto Ricans are American citizens, and
not foreigners. And if memory serves, Greg didn't even know the
difference between immigrant and emigrant.


Uh-huh. How the hell do you know what Laura Ingraham was thinking? Hate filled? Another adjective?
So you should have said, "...the depths of hatefilled stupidity of unimaginable proportion..."

Greg had it right, even though it may not agree with your 'common usage'.

And, I expect Greg knows full well the difference between immigrant and emigrant, and he used the
correct word.

Maybe you should do a little dictionary work? Eh?
