there is a difference

There is a difference between coming here to work and coming here to become a citizen.

The former come out of despiration and a desire to better themselves but leave their heart where they came from and send their money back there.

The latter spend time and money to come here to live. This becomes home and their heart is here. This is the difference between immigration that helped build this country and what passes for it now.

I know people who have told me of parents refusing to let their children speak the language of their homeland, making them assimilate to "here".

This is not something that is going to get better any time soon. I think it will get worse and we will have riots in the streets of this issue.

For now . . .
