ScrewMaster, I have a good friend who immigrated to the US from Romania and then married a woman who had immigrated to the US from Vietnam. After several years, he was also able to get his parents here from Romania. This guy is the hardest working person I know - went to school full time while working full time. He's also the only person I know that if he says he'll do something, he will do it. 100% of the time. So he's the quintessential, ultra hard-working immigrant success story.
He becomes incensed when the topic of illegal immigration comes up. It makes sense that he would, considering all the time, hard work, and hoops he had to jump through in order to LEGALLY get himself here and then patiently spend years LEGALLY getting his parents here while a Mexican illegally strolls across the border and is allowed to stay.
We were talking about the illegal immigrant problem once, and he corrected me by calling it the illegal Mexican problem. He also feels that race has nothing to do with not allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the country - those who say the enforcement of immigration laws are racist are using the race card because that's all they really have.
