I love that I mean as immigrants very often we are more patriotic than Americans because we are very excited to be here and grateful so. Yeah, my homeland oh so beautiful. You know when I come to be an American citizen and they asked me, you like this country? - Yeah. I say yes Sir I like this country but I love my country more than that. (men laughing) It's okay you can like two things that's alright. - Yeah.
