I have a Mexican friend who LEGALLY immigrated to the US. Jeez... How 'bout that?
.. good on him! Course, he's not the drug-dealing, rapey and violent kind of immigrant, no... he's actually a call center employee, like myself. Imagine that. Legal, documented, AND employed. Wow.
It IS possible, you know... to make a go of it, and NOT be a criminal. Very possible indeed.
