They were not afraid, nor did they find it beneath them to serve this country. Even the ones who do not serve take pride in the very jobs that many Americans bitch about them taking, but are not really willing to do themselves. What is crazy is that that man will succeed and be a millionaire before the rest of us ever would. They come here, bust their ass, and earn everything that they get. I love the shit out of that type of person.

I agree 100%. Most immigrants I know, and I know a bunch from Asia, Central America, and Europe, love this country because they realize just how much it has to offer. People should take note of our problems and do everything to fix them, but I swear that many young people complain about America because pissing on America is simply the thing to do among a majority of the urban 20-something crowd. Not so among most immigrant populations, who are about the most patriotic people I know.
Moreover, as you noted, most immigrants are incredibly hard-working and do a lot of things Americans would never do. I don't hear of too many illegals taking those cushy CEO position paying $500M a year. And even if they are in fact taking jobs that Americans want, I say if we can't compete with immigrants, they deserve to win the jobs.
