I think this synopsis leaves out a large chunk of the picture. I love legal immigrants as yourself. But I do believe that if you tried to replicate what you accomplished in the past in today’s economy and government you could not.

I also have a problem with the ones that come here today and have no intention of being “American,” and don’t do the hard work to become a citizen, but then they loudly tout how we OWE them big time because this country was built on their backs since they took the jobs none of us would. Yes, one of the new illegal immigrants recently claimed that and it was caught on hidden camera. That’s just not a truthful picture at all. Many of those jobs our citizens WOULD have taken but they didn’t pay what was bare minimum just to survive and feed their family. An illegal immigrant comes not wanting any American dream to own property or advance, or to raise an American family and children, and so they can live day to day in a way that nobody should have to live just to take the job over them. Many of them lived in single rooms with dozens of others and sent money back home since it was worth more there than it was here. They could not have lived here on those wages.
If our country was solely built on their backs, which I’m sorry it just wasn’t, but for the sake of argument if it was, then why in the hell did they never do these great things for their own country? And if they couldn’t then why didn’t they become American citizens and work to advance as you did, and then give loyalty and respect to their fellow citizens? Most couldn’t on the wages they agreed to work for.
I think this is a multifaceted situation and yours is just one small part of it, and while admirable and praiseworthy it is not fair to assume that those of us born here weren’t willing to work as hard as you did. We were, we did, and we are, and still it’s not enough anymore.
