Guest, G--the people who have come here to work hard did so because they had initiative to begin with. The lazy ones stay home. If the U.S. economy collapsed but somebody else's was booming, all the Americans with initiative would move there and everyone would be remarking about how hardworking Americans are, because all the lazy Americans stayed home. It's the sample you get.

Again--I don't oppose immigration, but the whole system needs to be overhauled so people CAN come here legally but also so employers have to/are able to hire legally.
