Yes, exactly.
So all these years we have been voting illegally. I'm shocked to hear that now there are going to have to be record checks and so forth. This is like saying we are a threat to security.
Because of the illegitimate condition we face, it's very discriminatory. Also, to get your citizenship, apparently it's $75. However, if you were born out of wedlock, it jumps to $200. So what is that? I just don't get it.
My sister and I would like to travel to Britain in the fall. It appears that is probably not going to be possible. We would like to visit our birthplace. Also, my father's brother was killed overseas, and we would like to visit his grave.
As I said, this is becoming impossible. What's ridiculous is that there have been 60 years to sort this mess out—60 years—and here we are.
Together, my sister and I worked for 80 years in Canada, paid lots of taxes, raised families, lived cleanly, and so on, and this is where we find ourselves today. We didn't come in illegally. We didn't come in the back door; we didn't have fake passports or anything like that.
This situation should not even exist at this point, and I really hope it will get resolved.
I also understand that come pension time we will have a problem.
I appreciate you allowing me to make these comments this morning.
