Kudos to Callie Vandewiele for her comments regarding the Coke ad that aired during the 2014 Super Bowl (Feb. 4 Outlook). I would like to add to her well-done article.

I support immigration, just not illegal immigrants. When the ad started, I stopped eating my popcorn and thought, “What the ...” and then as the ad continued, I went, “Wow, what a creative way to acknowledge who America is.”

We are all of those people in the ad and are citizens of the greatest country on earth.

My view is that people who are here illegally do not love this country enough to find a way to become legalized citizens, and therefore are undermining our country. Coke is spot on with its intent and did a great job expressing it. Wish there was a way for them to express the difference between legal and illegal immigrants.
