I base my opinion on the virtually penniless, non-english speaking Asion, Arab, Mexican, etc. people that arrive on these shores and within relatively few years, due to offered programs, acceptance by our people, and hard work reach an economic and social level amost impossible to obtain in their native countries.
One of my grandfathers was a prime example. He arrived from Italy penniless as a teenager, went to work in the midwest for a home-owned ice cream shop, became a partner, and later sold the business (actually traded it for a job) to Fairmont Creamery. He made for himself & family a very comfortable living.
I think of the long lines of people around the globe wishing and waiting to get into the Unites States of America. I see no one waiting to get out.
