Many came to N.American without papers. Many took crop jobs or servant jobs to "pay their dues" and through the generations moved up into higher levels of society. Many keep their ethnic pride to this day. Heritage musuems are rampant - why is this writer not worried about the Czechs in Iowa? The Germans in Pennsylvania?

After a few generations, people tend to forget that they were immigrants too. It's this hypocrisy that makes me look sideways at "articles" like this.
