Did anybody else notice The son of undocumented Mexican immigrants gave the U.S. its first Olympic gold medal?

Question

Henry Cejudo called it the American dream.

The son of undocumented Mexican immigrants who had to work two jobs to keep food on the table, Cejudo gave the U.S. its first Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling in Beijing with a stunning win Tuesday over Japan's Tomohiro Matsunaga in the 55-kilogram (121 pounds) final

"I'm living the American dream right now, man," Cejudo, wrapped in an American flag, said moments after his win. "The United States is the land of opportunity. It's the best country in the world and I'm just glad to represent it."

A joyful Cejudo, 21, broke into tears on the mat at the end of the match, then took a victory lap around the China Agricultural University Gymnasium.

"This is what I always wanted," he said. "The frustration was let out. The hard work and everything.

Answer 8

Good for him, sad for Mexico!

However, he is still an illegal immigrant and should be deported and then come back the proper way like all the other legal immigrants! ^_^

Answer 9

Well why not let the whole world through the back door in that way your country will win all the medals and guys like you can be happy little liberals with a clear conscience  

Answer 10

Ok, cool.

did you know Michael Phelps, son of fred and Debbie Phelps, of Maryland had 8 gold medals.

Answer 11

what the point of it the olympic medal is just a propaganda for sports endorsements. undocumented nice way to say his parents are illegal which should make him illegal except for that stupid law which says if your born here makes you a citizen which i do not believe in.

Answer 12

The medal SHOULD be transfered to MEXICO along with the illegal immigrant

Answer 13

So...what you're basically saying is a now grown up anchor baby won a gold. Good for him.

All that tells me is he got some good training here in the U.S. I don't think his illegal immigrant parents had anything to do with his physical accomplishments.

  

Answer 14

Not really, I'm not into the olympics as I feel it has no real importance in my life. Now if he had rounded up all the illegals in this country and got them back home, I'd be applauding.  

Answer 15

Some of you people are so racist. He's NOT illegal himself nor is he an "achor baby". He was born and raised in this country and is an American just like you. Show some respect for someone who proudly represented this country. He's done alot more for the US than most of you have who just sit there on your *** and talk ****.
