I always find it interesting that immigrates that are legal come here with a deep respect and a desire to become part of this "Great Experiment" that Thomas Jefferson alluded to. What I find extremely interesting is that many immigrants try to make the US in the image of, sorry for the crudeness, the "**** bag" country they came from. How is it that they do not understand the the reason the country they came from is the way it is has to do with the attitude and beliefs of the established society that exists there. One example that comes to mind is people that come from a country that does not have any faith in their police force. They come here and have the same attitude and become victims of gangs because they will not go to the police for help. It is a complicated issue but for any country to be come a cohesive society we must all speak and write the same language. I am going to get in trouble here but look at Canada. For God's sake they are all Canadians but there are the people that live in Quebec that want to become their own entity because they speak, and are, French. Can you imagine a country like the US that has 50 different languages?
