The vast majority of them came through Ellis Island and came legally. Many Mexicans also make the decision to come legally -----amnesty just rewards law-breakers

Yup all they had to do was get off the boat and be processesd(90% were accepted), after that they were free to go anywhere.

They also did the jobs no one wanted. They worked hard to make a better life for their family. They also faced scorn.

This passed tonight. Good job congress. Despite the head in the sand crowd, America still remains a melting pot.

They also didn't blow up buildings or kill thousands of Americans. A little bit different from our current batch of immigrants wouldn't you say.
