That, in my opinion, is part of what made the US an amazing culture. And something that we lose in this immigration debate. But, I clearly am in the minority in my belief, and doubt it will change any time soon. There was a reason for the inscription on the Statue of Liberty. Sadly, it is not nearly as true anymore...

Well I think regardless if they end up in a "professional career" they still came here to strive for a better life.

I have a career and I went to a very good college but I have a modest home and decent cars but I am off every day at 5 and have every weekend off to spend time with my family, to me that is happiness. I have turned jobs down that pay more but require more of my time. My family makes me happy not a shiny BMW or a house in the Hills.

I guess we need to define "better life" to accurately say who is not striving for their dreams.
