Do you think immigrants are still looking for the same things? Are they still looking for opportunity to work hard and succeed?

Too closed: untenable (as Canada is discovering).<br /><br />I find it interesting that the Chinese and Japanese immigrants brought to Hawaii and thence to the rest of the nation weren't mentioned. They were part of the settling in the west and used as expendable labor on the railroads as well (Hence the term, "not a Chinaman's chance"). They make up a notable portion of the populace and have certainly done much in the tradition of coming here and working hard.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.com
