It is not surprising that those who are able to get to the US, try come to our country in the hopes of beginning a new future. Again, I don't know the solution, but to demonize, and stereotype many men and women who are willing to uproot their whole life in the hopes that they might provide a better life for their children, only to find that they have become outcasts and criminals, is a shame to me.

I will not win this debate, but for closing, one last time: think of who these words were offering comfort and hope to:

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I am really not trying to debate at all, I felt like I was agreeing :confused:

I just want to make a point you don't have to be all rolled up in Beverly Hills to be considered successful.
