What Moses said, your entire premise is invalid I would say, but that is no surprise. We have always welcomed immigrants, and still do. The huge problem now stems from the illegal immigrants, which is an entirely different ballgame. I doubt if you even believe most of the stuff you post here Supes.

You want to know what you left out of your fairy tale? No? Sorry going to have to tell you anyway.

When my Dad's parents fled Russia a hundred years ago, they came to the country legally and became Americans. They lived in Canada for a few years, then my Grandfather went to Nebraska, worked for several years, to save the money and make arrangements for the wife and kids. They were never Volga German Americans, or German Americans, or Russian Americans, just legal immigrants and then Americans. They demanded their children speak English outside the home, forbidding them from speaking German anywhere but at home or at Church. If they heard the kids were not speaking English, the kids got the strap.

Many immigrants, almost all of the illegals, have no interest in becoming Americans. That is the difference and the source of most of the problems.
