My wife and I have a Russian immigrant living with us. (legally) She came here because she wants to be an American. She doesn't intend to forget where she came from but she puts America first.
Since she works at a hospital it didn't take her long to figure out that her taxes go to support people who didn't bother to obey our immigration laws.
Bless her heart. When my family came here from germany, after escaping the Kaiser, they were forbidden to ever mention Germany as their homeland, and the names of their twin boys were changed (at Ellis Island) to "Sam and John", which they considered to be good solid American names.
So many people think they're entitiled to pillage these days, because they've been cheated, or their land has been "stolen". They're "owed". Ask what your country can do for you.
