George, Have you ever been to Kosovo? How much time did you spend there? Be careful about talking about "ignorant immigrants." I can almost guarantee that someone probably thought that about your ancestors at some point. If anyone has the right to complain about immigrants, which I don't think anyone does, it would be me. My family was in the US since before it was the US. They fought in the revolutionary war, and won the civil war. 99% of Americans descend from immigrants. We should remember this more often. Have you ever been in a war? Have you ever lived in a third world country? Have you ever slept in a refugee camp? I have. The vast majority of immigrants don't sit in their nice little apartments and think "Gee. I think I'll go to America and get on welfare so I never have to work." For most, it's a question of survival. They don't want to leave their homes, but they have no choice. Never forget what refugees have done for the US. Einstein, Kissinger, . . . Beside, US citizens are good enough at being parasites of the system. If we wanted everyone to be like Americans, we should have anticipated it. Jennifer
