Well, I am getting on my soapbox! This nation was formed by immigrants. We all have stories of relatives who came here and changed the history of this nation. My great grandparents came and struggled to make it here with hard labor, leaving family behind in Eastern Europe during very difficult times, without knowing whether or not they'd see family again. They changed this nation by working hard for all that they have without expecting anything but the opportunity to work hard. They spent their nights learning and teaching their children. They taught that education was the ticket to riches. I think only the expectations have changed.
