No one ever accused Americans of being smart.

I'm receiving word that according to a lot of people this guy isn't even an American so he can't use that excuse.

He wanted to be though.

Does wanting to be American when you're not make you more stupid? Like... You're choosing to be American. That must come with some low level of mental intelligence...

He might be proof the American dream is alive and well if he wasn't facing a bunch of felonies and deportation.
