Yes. My great grandparents came here legally, through Ellis Island, and had to learn English and customs like everyone else. (My understanding is English is not the most easy language to learn, and I know it was tough forthe part of my family that came from eastern Europe back in 1903). They faced the same challenges immigrants face today with regards to finding work and providing for their families ("Irish need not apply!"), worked their asses off, and made something of themselves. My great grandfather, who came over as a child, would open up an automobile repair shop in the heart of Jersey City. His son would serve in WWII, come back and become a chemist at Kraft Foods (his team developed "velveeta"; He always told us not to eat it, it was garbage, lol!) My father became an executive member of the company that handle maintainence and replacement/upgrades for much of NYC, including the WTC. They started setting out for a better way of life for their families, and worked for it. I would expect nothing less from anyone. I welcome everyone to this country; but you have to play by the rules. Many other countries have similar laws on immigration. They enforce them, in some cases more strongly than we do.

On a side note, I heard a story recently that theres a movement to make the term "illegal immigrant" equivalent to a racist term. To me, thats more than just overly sensitive PC crap; its just stupid. Being an "illegal immigrant" means you are here in this country illegally, no more, no less.

If I got to another country and I break there immigration laws- what happens to me?
If I go to another and start going to school with no papers what will they do to me?
If I go to another counrty and take a job, and have no right to be there- no visa- what happends to me?
Why is this even a question for any one who lives in the United States? Why is the U.S. to be different from England, Canada, France, Finland, Mexico, Russia, Argentina, Kenya, Switzerland- you name a counrty they have immagration laws, and they uphold them. Why would the U.S. to be any different than they are?
We are not stopping immigration. We are stopping illegal Aliens from being here illegally. We have no issue if you came her legally - we want you to come here ,and be happy, but not Illegally.
