I started a post asking why people why they think immigrants risk their lives and risk arrest to come to this country. They come here because our system is better than where they are escaping from. They come here for freedom. For liberty. To work for a better life and with hopes and dreams of a better life for their children. People complain about wages and how bad things are here for the "poor" and how bad our social services are by not offering better healthcare. Our poverty, minimum wage and government healthcare are a fortune and a dream to others. They don't come to be oppressed by government controls and told they have made enough money. Attitudes of how bad we have it here in America and what we "deserve" soon becomes generational attitudes. We are suppose to work for ourselves and to better ourselves and our children. Obama wants us to be a nation that works for the government and to be told how much we should make and give back to the government. That isn't what made this country a place that made people risk their lives to come here.
