My grandmother came here on "the boat," fleeing a war and seeking better economic opportunity, got her name changed, endured anti-immigrant attitudes, and worked hard her whole life. That's just the most recent link in the chain, but her story is my story, and the story of the vast majority of people in this country.
The critics of immigrants have no leg to stand on, with their selfish "I got mine" attitude, their view that we don't need or want immigrants, and their disdain for the hard work done by immigrants and that keeps this country running.
Sí, se puede.
