Outstanding!
You and all of them have every reason to be proud.
Thanks for what you said. What make me most sad is our great nation does need immigrants but the “right immigrants.” We need those that want the American Dream and want to be part of our culture. We do not need immigrants that will not do this.
When we have family over at my home it is somewhat funny. It is a mixture of Spanish and English. The young ones do not speak good Spanish, all they have ever known is the United States. Although I am a gringo I speak Spanish as I grew up on the Mexican border and also lived a few years in Venezuela.
My family is what America is supposed to be. I am proud of my American German English Heritage as they are proud of their Mexican heritage but we are Americans first.
ps
My daughter in law (drop dead beautiful) is 100% Mexican but third generation American. Her Spanish is pitiful to say the least. Culturally she is 100% American. I think this is the way it supposed to work!
My step son is 50% Mexican and 50% Indian from India. He knows nothing except he is an American. He has zero cultural prejudice. He was a combat medic in Iraq for two tours of duty. Today he is a registered nurse and in one year will be a nurse practitioner. Our great nation will let you be anything you want if you will work for it. He did. Although he is my step son I love him as dearly as my own, I raised him.
I like my family.
