I just wanted to share this email and see what everyone elses opinion is this subject.
Subject: FW: PELL GRANT
OK,... I am 3rd generation AMERICAN!!! My grandfather came over when he was 4 and did it the legal way as MANY OTHERS Did from NUMEROUS COUNTRIES!!!! Why should the process that has worked for over 100 yrs (that's when I can document my heritage) be changed. It's not that we don't want these immigrants in the US, we just want them to do it LEGALLY!!!! We are ONE NATION, under GOD - not SEVERAL COUNTRIES and NATIONALITIES under attack!!!!
My friends who have came to the US have learned the language and also adapted to our cultures. We should not have to change; if they want to continue following their cultures and philosophies, then they should move back to their home country and go to school there.
