Please help me.

I now spend my days in fear that an INS official will knock on my door, round up my family, and deport us.

After all... how can I be REALLY, ACTUALLY, TRULY and COMPLETELY sure I'm in the country legally.

Now...


I might be Sudanese.

Or Chinese.

Or any of a thousand different "ese" I've never thought of.

Hell, I could really be a citizen of IRAN, which would, justifiably put me on a thousand different watch lists and make me ineligible to compete on or watch American Idol!

Now that I think of it... not being an American... how did I even learn to speak or write in English (good GOD can you even READ what I'm writing?).

Have I eaten a hot dog?

Do I know how to play baseball.

1. I think I may have been conceived in Canada,
does that mean I can go home?

3. I am certain that I was (born in Kenya). You know how I know?
I only have a certified copy of my birth record and not the original, which is in possession of the State of Nevada.

7. Come off it -- we all know that you're really Egyptian.
And that YOU were the one wanting to turn the White House into a pyramid.
