We are a nation of Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, etc. To assume a person is undocumented because of the country they were born in, their religion, the color of their skin, or the team they support is beyond ignorant. My husband is a doctor. He was born in India. He's a US citizen who pays tens of thousands of dollars every year in taxes. Many people commenting on this app would assume the worst about him simply because of the color of his skin. Unless you are a Native American, your ancestors are from a different country. Stop judging people and love each other.
