Alexander Hamilton was an Illegal Alien?
Alexander Hamilton was an illegal alien? You've got to be kidding me! First of all Hamilton was a British subject just like the rest of our founding fathers. He was born in the British West Indies. He later moved to New York in 1774 to study at Kings College. The U. S. Constitution wasn't even ratified until 1789.
That's a pretty neat trick to have participated in the Revolutionary War; help formulate the U.S. Constitution; be an outspoken advocate for said Constitution and at the same time prohibit yourself from being a citizen.
PARKER: But, you know, Eliot, let's remember, too- a lot of Americans did come through the back door-
SPITZER: Yup-
PARKER: Such as Alexander Hamilton.
SPITZER: Yup-
PARKER: He got off the boat from the West Indies, and all he did was write the Constitution and become the first Secretary of the Treasury- and, of course, what about the 'Terminator'?
SPITZER: That's right. We've got to have Arnold, who is in his last days as the great governor of California- has a little bit of a deficit that he's leaving for his successor, the 'moonbeam,' Jerry Brown. So you got Arnold, you got Alexander Hamilton- can you imagine the two of them having dinner together?
Kathleen Parker constantly criticizes Sarah Palin. She has ridiculed Palin as an idiot; an intellectually challenged, backwater dolt that couldn't figure out a way to walk through the grand salons of New York's Upper East Side. Hey Kathleen you are no longer entitled to throw stones at glass houses anymore.
