Of course we are all immigrants. My parents were both immigrants after World War II, Polish refugees. But they worked when they came here, had a sponser who swore an oath they would not become a drain on society. This man fought in the Russian civil war, and has a son named Vladimir, I can guess which side he fought on.

What's so bad about the name Vladimir? That's a common slavic name.

Also most immigrants who came during the 60/70's were hardworking and assimilated well into the US. It is the more recent immigrants, the ones who came in the last ten years or so, who are a drain on our economy. Of course there are always exceptions but that seems to be my observation.
