while your using a couple of people who are or were born of immigrants from a certain area as an example, all is well. however, i would ask you why the entire region south of our border cant seem to progress on any level at all with any reasonable time limit? you can always find a big pearl in a sea of pearls, but compared to other areas pearls, are they really big?
now on to your using legal people as examples. this is my opinion and mine alone, i would not call any of these people honroable off the bat, not until i knew what they actually stood for. imo, the main reason we find ourselves so deluded on islam and other issues of importance is the complete abrogation of the legal system to do its job in the spirit it was intended to be done in.

I am not advocating our copying the governments south of our border, but submitting that people from that area, motivated to come here, (and who abide by our laws in doing so), can become or can raise good U.S. citizens.
You can just as well ask your question of people migrating here from Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, or numerous despotic or benighted societies past and present.
Do you really not know what principles Alberto Gonzales (White House counsel to GWB) and Miguel Estrada (GWB nominee to Federal court, blocked by Democrats) stand for? Like Alexander Hamilton (West Indian bastard child), they are newcomers who have deeply absorbed the philosophical principles and historical experience that underlie the founding of our nation.
