I am perplexed by some answers I'm reading to questions in the Immigration forum. Why is it that some of you believe only a LEGAL immigrant could ever become a great citizen?
For those of you who don't know my story:
My husband came here LEGALLY to work on a farm cutting vegetables for $3/hr. He spoke no English. He had no high school education. He taught himself enough English to get a better paying job. Doing so made him inelligible to renew his visa because of his choice to leave the work program with which he came here. He became "illegal." Long story short he is now fully bilingual, he owns his own business, has a 6-figure income, we live in one of the nicest historic homes in our town and are well-respected members of our community & he is a citizen - all in 10 years time. I would like to add that he has ALWAYS paid taxes with a REAL SSN given to him by our gov't when he first came here.
