You are full of shlt. You're a washed up old trashman hiring illegals off the street hoping you can make a buck here and there. You don't have these friends in NYC. Like that is some big deal anyway. Every liberal in the country had "a friend who died there".
Awesome that you threw in "Muslim friend". Great identity politics you got going on here.
We should all make sure we mention races and/or beliefs for every person we say we know.
