My great grandpa came to this country and started a store. He eventually learned fluent english without an accent, and refused to speak his native languages with other bohemian customers who would come in his store. He would say- "you are in america, speak english." He also would not talk about how great the "old country" was like alot of immigrants today do. He said to any of the other bohemians coming into the store who would extol the virtues of the old country " that place was rubbish, I was starving, that's why I left."




A perfect example of what I accept with open arms... a bit above and beyond what I was trying to describe, but the point is well made.

I dislike the idea of rewarding people for sneaking into a country. It is a very petty/shallow gripe..




It isn't petty at all. It is very basic. You don't reward lawbreakers with the object of their crime. Nations that don't understand this cease to be nations.

Well this is why I believe a penalty is appropriate- like a fine payable over a number of years. This punishes illegals, while saving america from the steep costs of deporting all of them.
