Are there still 7-11’s around?

Last one I saw, years ago, was in Mexico.

If they self identify with a foreign nation before this one, are they on our side? When I see hyphenization it reminds me of Roosevelt’s comments on America becoming a tangle of squabbling nationalities.

If we don’t reach out to them, to see our way of thinking, then they may not join our side.

Young Indians are Democrats like other young Asian-Americans.

The older ones tend to vote for the party in power, which is the way they do things in India.

I saw one in Dallas a few years ago, but I use it here in the generic term, like “stop and rob”.

Yeah, I have a number of friends who are first or second generation from India. All Democrats.

“For over three decades I have supported both Democrat and Republican candidates based on their individual merits and their commitment to the interests of the Indian-American community and US-India relations. I remain committed to this course,” Parikh added.”

Oh, so he’s a drooling moron.

Figures.

Not all of us are Democrats. Some, like yours truly, are trying to change that urge though it is difficult - mainly due to lack of GOP support for legal immigration.

Please...I’ll wager this group was formed for the express purpose of backing away from Trump at a later date.

“mainly due to lack of GOP support for legal immigration.”

Many of us do not want more legal immigration.

We want immigrants to go home and fix their own countries.

Thanks to those who explained. Perhaps I am just naive enough to expect that unattributed abbreviations might be attributed once before using them repetitively.

I’m glad you asked because I didn’t know what it was either. Too many times I see these kinds of abbreviations used with no clue as to what they stand for. Irritating to say the least.

Yup, I get that. We see the results in voting patterns.
