Good article. Oddly enough, my great-grandfather had the same appreciation of the American work ethic when he came to this country from Poland, according to members of my family.

It never ceases to amaze me how many foreigners I have met, whether from Poland, Costa Rica, or the Phillipines, expect America to be just like "Friends" and get here and realize that we are much more complex, culturally and otherwise than depicted on TV. Another thing foreigners tend to notice is how Americanized second-generation children of immigrants are.

"I have nothing but great compassion for your great nation. I believe that if people should come to your country come legally and be respectful of different culture. If you plan to stay there then you have to get acquainted with your country history; at for be respectful and if you have children then they should know English first and polish second but not to loose your heritage. Hard work is a common; nothing comes from nothing you have to earn it but be respectful in country you are in; for which gives you bread."

thank you
