Going by the description I like this one. All immigrants here should integrate into their new society, to include learning English. Anything that assists in this is good in my book.

In addition to all that, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen provided the money to an illegal immigrant named Lee Boyd Malvo to get bailed out from detention. He later became one of the D.C. Snipers.
