Only in America, It Seems

In America every citizen has a right to soapbox oratory but America does not have a Bill of Rights for non-citizens. However, many foreigners have taken the stance that they have the same rights as citizens have, and those in charge of things in this country have allowed it. But if hundreds of natural born American citizens began gathering on a New York’s busy Madison Avenue intersection for two hours every Friday afternoon—and doing nothing but standing there, stopping traffic—before they’d got so far as a dozen of them, they’d be arrested. My question is, why does the foreign element in America demand rights Americans don’t have, and get them, when we couldn’t?
