" ...Mexico's (or Canada's, for that matter) immigration policies. You'll be stunned. "

" This is the way it used to be, but it ain't no more. People had to earn their way in, now they just help themselves. "

" Part of you gets the story and the other part is still fighting WW2. "

" What a great story! This should become part of every school kid's history lessons, to explain how how our country has grown from the strength and courage of many cultures. Those who arrive here legally and make an effort to work within "the system" to earn citizenship are a great testament to our freedoms, our country's greatness, and an investment in our future. "

" I really hope you were just a "company clerk".... "

" This is immigration at a time when America was a strong country and thought well of itself. Immigrants like Mr. Kalnietis went through the system the way it was intended, generally worked hard, stayed out of trouble, and helped America's culture and economy. Often, they went to night school (Americanization Classes) to learn our history, English, and to achieve that prized posession, American citizenship. Today, you just sneak through the crevice, steal somebody's identity, and you're all set. That's the new America folks. "

" This is immigration at it's best. This is how my brother-in-law and his family came here. By the sound of your letter Mr.Kalneitis you came from the same area as my brother-in-law and his family. I remember very well. They worked very hard during the day and went to night school to learn about this country, learn English and become citizens. After they were established they in turn sponsored another family. I don't know one person that says any one ethnic group should not be here, only those that are here illegally of any ethnic group. My soon to be daughter-in-law is a legal immigrant. She works, owns a home, pays taxes and abides by our laws. She hasn’t had even a parking ticket. For those that say the illegal aliens are to tired from working all day, That is garbage. How many go to work and work hard but still take care of their responsibilities? We are even starting to teach our children using the Mexican curriculum. This is all planned and with the blessings of Government. The funny part is in time they too will be looking at this from the outside. "

" This is the type of immigrant story that needs to be told more often. I think this is what all of us, including you by reading your letter...believes in...that this is what our immigration laws should provide for. I believe (due to continued research) that to allow a mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens will allow those masses to be exploited and be an immense burden on our economy that is already about to collapse. Thank you for following the law as that is what all citizens are suppoed to do. "
