A Vision Of Greatness
(Garyl)
I recently drove from Pennsylvania on vacation. At every gas or food stop I saw diversity with unity at work. Yet in the newspapers and in politics all I hear about is how we need to close our borders, to tighten our ranks. Illegal drug smuggling and the like are a logical part of this desire to close our borders but by doing this we just discourage the decent immigrant who merely wants a better life for his or her family from coming into the country. This nation was founded on diversity of religion and freedom for all, even if these weren't put into practice perfectly. Immigrants of all times have been looked down on. This included those who came from Europe in the 1800's. In northeast Pennsylvania immigrants worked in the mines and since many couldn't speak or read English many of the safety signs that were posted were in six different languages. These hardworking immigrants helped provide the backbone for the industrial revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries. They faced dangers above and below ground. Their life expectancy was short. Black lung took many a young life. We need to thank the new wave of immigrants for bringing fresh hope in this land. This is what makes America great. Many of these new immigrants come from lands like Mexico, Columbia, India, Pakistan, and Iran to name just a few. They work their way up to where some of them own their own businesses. This is the great part of being an American. We are still the land of opportunity.
