I thought I would share this article because it speaks
volumes on the good immigrants do, since we mostly hear about the bad.
What Immigrants Bring to America
By Olúfémi Táíwò
Immigration
opponents often don't understand how varied are our stories. Even immigration
supporters sometimes treat us as charity cases who should be forever grateful
for being taken onto American shores. The institutions that employ us also seem
to expect exceptionally audible and constant thanks for having jobs in this
land of opportunity”.
“Anyone with a good job and
prospects, immigrant or not, should probably feel grateful in this rocky
economy. But on the whole, immigrants contribute as much as the American-born.
Yes, we have good reason to come here; but don't forget that you have equally
good reason to welcome us”.
