Very childish of him to make this statement.
He could have presented his case to his constituency and demonstrated that immigrants bring a lot of positive things to their new communities and persuaded them to change or soften their position without being rash or confrontational.
Very disappointing and counterproductive.
- oneeyedpigeon 11y agoThis is merely a form of protest. Are you claiming that any form of protest other than the - rather vague - one you've proposed is invalid?
- gotchange 11y agoI didn't question his rights to protest however he deems fit. I just brought up the point that he could have done better to achieve his political goals without resorting to escalation or inflammatory rhetoric esp. since this is his first communique regarding this issue. Brinkmanship and belligerence don't work most of the time and you have to seek a gradual and pragmatist approach to tackle social causes.

- alfapla 11y agoFor Christ sake, this is a guy who writes a very useful text editor and hands it out for free. He's not the UN ambassador of global political reconciliation, as you seem to believe.
