That's true but we do make it hard as hell for people to immigrate into America legally. Not that this is a terrible thing but we should recognize that we only take the intelligent and hardworking immigrants in legally. If most immigrants in America were lazy and sapping off the system I think we'd feel differently. Nevertheless I think that it isn't a bad way to go about things, that is, making it difficult to become an American citizen. Sometimes I wish I came from an immigrant family. They always seem to be pushing themselves and each other to achieve.
