I am a 2nd generation American. My Grandpa had to bust his butt and go through heck to prove Himself in this great country. He immigrated legally though Ellis Island, paperwork and all, he learned English and contributed to the community. All of Grandpas kids only learned to speak English. Its a bunch of crap that law abiding legal immigrants are compared to illegal immigrants that have no respect for our laws and culture. legal immigrants care and contribute, illegal immigrants just take.
