It was interesting to hear all of your thoughts on immigration into our culture. I personally think that there is a difference between the immigrants of the last century compared to this century. The people are coming here for the same reasons, whether it be money or to escape a harsh government or persecution.

But I think some of the immigrants that are coming in now, when they get here, they find a system that gives them all kinds of stuff, so they decide it's easier to live in that system. I respect someone that is willing to work hard and provide for their family if they are willing to do it legally.
I would guess that most Central American share croppers would love to get a job like standing inside an air conditioned McDonalds, where the only real physical exertion is done with a spatula, and the worst boss in the world is 10 times better than the land barron he's used to, and he can feel like a millionaire for $7.10 an hour.
My relatives obviously immigrated here somewhere along the way, but they learned English, got jobs, followed the laws, etc... huge difference from some of the modern day immigrants.

Ok, I'll be quiet now, thanks for letting me rant.
