As much as I often rail on FreeRepublic about illegal immigration, I'm sure Mr. Yoon waited his turn and came here legally from Korea. And you know what? America will ALWAYS have room to take in the Mr. Yoon’s of the world...men who understand that being (or becoming an American), is a state of mind, and entails the love of certain principles...like liberty, freedom and personal responsibility.
May God bless him and comfort him through this grievous loss.
My feelings exactly -- I work with a number of Korean immigrants and they are all honorable, hard-working, and proud of their legality as Americans.
It's important, when our opponents accuse us of being anti-immigrant, that we clarify that we are against illegal immigration. My father's parents were Italian immigrants, and proud to become legal Americans. I am proud to be descended from them.
Mr. Yoon demonstrates exceptional grace and composure in a situation I would find horribly difficult. I have no doubt he stood his turn and did things right when he came here.
According to the story, he came here in 1989 and is a naturalized citizen.
I'd say Mr. Yoon has got it just about right.
I for one, and I'm sure most here, consider it an honor that he chose our nation for his home.
May Bod bless him and his family.
