A good friend of mine who was once brainwashed into joining the hitler youth when he was only 12 or 13 put it this way..."America is the best thing that ever happened to me, I am so thankful to be an American. I hate to think what would have come of me had there not been an America".
He came here the LEGAL way, despite the difficulty and obstacles. When he arrived in America he could speak only german and had about $2 to his name. Without "demanding" anything or any special consideration he learned english and got a job. He might speak with an accent but he worked as a successful salesman utilizing only his english for an American corporation for many years. He raised a family here and remains a loyal citizen to this day. Thats the way immigration is SUPPOSED to work.
