I Feel Sorry For Legal Immigrants
I really feel sorry for Legal Immigrants to America. People who wait and enter our country lawfully, respectfully, decently, and properly.
I can just imagine how they must feel with 20 million illegals here, making them look suspicious, as though they came illegally. It's just not fair.
I want to see President Bush stand up for THEM. They really deserve to have a better situation than what they face once they get here. Twenty million illegal aliens in America....this is unbelievably wrong.
Helping someone new to America is a great feeling, it's something that both American Citizens and Legal Immigrants are being robbed of. This is a big part of the assimilation process. It is important for those of us who are native born Americans and those of us who have immigrated legally to have positive experiences together. We are not being given that chance.
With ALL the illegal immigrants here it is difficult to tell how much legal immigration we should have now. I do believe that a period or a moratorium on immigration would be an important step in helping those who are new assimilate and recover from the illegal fiasco our country has experienced.

latin legal immigrants called suck ups when they learn engli
My father often witnessed many of the non english speaking contractors and/or helpers at the flooring company he represented (hired mainly by home depot) , speak badly of the workers who were learning english and/or attempting to speak english to the heads of the company rather than rely on my dad for interpretting. They would call them suck ups. Oh yes, and/or ass kissers. Many of the corporate big dogs expect that if you are bilingual that your job should also include company interpreter regardless of whether or not it was in your job description. My dad got annoyed by it but would do it because the company he worked for payed him an automatic 1,000.00 dollar a week salary whether he made that or not. My dad was an honest floor installer. He would not do the floor if he could not guarantee it for 10 years-he went by the book and was certified by manufacturers such as armstrong, amtico, pergo, etc. My dad had me be his helper. The mexican workers would often call me the mule(contractor slang for helpers). My dad would then say, "At least with my daughter, I dont have to repeat myself 3 times and she does not comprehend directions at the two speeds of slow and slower. Customers liked us because we unlike the "playing stupid non-english speaking contractors"(keep in mind, these were people sent to people's homes who could not communicate with customers), did not mind talking to them, and had a sense of humor. Often times, they would ask us about where we were from, and how they liked us and respected our honesty etc. We always had many referrals. unmotivated illegals who allow themselves to be degraded seem to be able to get away with discriminating legal immigrants as well as taking jobs from americans. They often protest when a latino from a country other than mexico is more qualified for a job and/or accepted by a college over them.
