My father came from Germany, worked for land holders in Pa. to pay his passage, within 10 years, working his ass off, he learned English (a requirement), had a responsible job, and own his own house. The difference between him and a wetback was that he WANTED to be an American. To be sure, he sent money home to Germany to help his starving family, but he also took care of his family here.
