"I feel really good about what I have accomplished - at my age and with my health," she said. Ms Garcia, who entered the US on 12 October 1909, became a citizen on the 101st anniversary of her arrival.

4. What, you mean the IMS didn't arrest her and throw her into the slammer?

Sounds like they're slacking off a bit. Oh woe is me, my tax dollars are going to be used to feed her and provide her with medical care. :cry:

5. She is probably ready to drop an Anchor Baby, but Sharron Angle's

race-baiting probably scared her into going the citizenship route.

A sly move on Eulalia's part.
