D'Souza is not an immigrant I would hold up as an example.

He is every bit the example immigrant. Who cares that he was wealthy in India. All the more kudos to him; he had it "good" over there and still saw the light. How many people do you know who have come over here from some hellhole and can articulate to the commoner how awesome and important the freedom experiment is for the world?

There's certainly no crime in being wealthy. But, if we're going to criticize people for coming here and receiving handouts and special favors, let's point out that D'Souza received his share. Again, his way here was paid by other Americans. On the other hand, many other immigrants came here without help, had nothing, and, even though they continued to have nothing, they still loved this country, some fighting and dying for it. If D'Souza hadn't received special favors, would he be so in love with the United States?
