I had an experience about 20 years ago with a young woman from India. She had a nice car, nice clothes, etc. She was a contractor and talked about the glories of doing her taxes and writing everything off. She had money left over to send some back to her family. It's only one example.
WTF are you talking about? I don't see no priority line for illegals at any of the DMVs I went to. There are, however, appointments that people can make ahead of time, maybe that is what you are referring to.
Giving driver's license to illegals is a necessary evil. Why? Because now they can pass driving tests and buy car insurance; it will 1) make the road safer and 2) I can claim for damages if my car ever get hit by an illegal. It's a pragmatic solution to an impossible problem.

The first weekend when California allowed licensing there was a political outreach to get illegal aliens drivers license. A couple of state politicians career's were built on trying to get the law passed. Sort of like the efforts to get people on government health insurance through the affordable Health Care Act instead of other providers
Foreigners have a backup. If they get sick, or unemployed or ned to educate their kids they have a safety net at home, so they can take risks. Americans don't have that. Also, they're a selected group with higher employability or they wouldn't have been given a visa.
Hate to tell you this, but Venezuelans (latinos) are the 2nd highest educated group of immigrants in the United States.
1st place is Nigerians.
I asked my husband who he thought the highest educated group of immigrants was, and he came up with Nigerians right off the bat. He's worked with many and holds them in very high regard.

Everybody has a family to rely on. The problem begins when the family cannot support a person when he or she is in need. That's the primary issue. But it's not specific to Americans or foreigners.
It's totally non-sense to believe that foreigners have it better in the US. It should be the other way around. You're always best in your own country due to the fact that you grew up in a place. You miss people, and you do not buy family or friendship, even with money. Or at least, true friendship .
Yep it's noticeable in the city I'm in.....
Idk how they come here & just seem to acquire so much, so fast....
I will say that some of the people I knew from Europe came here from really poor countries
& now have properties, rentals, etc.
Makes ya' wonder
It's called "working your @ss off" and having a "No F-ing Quit Attitude."
The opportunities clearly visible to some recent arrivals are laying right before many of us for the taking. The difference may rest on the fact that some are willing to work harder for it than others.
Mind you, some of us come to Mainland USA with little. Often, we have no one to depend on but ourselves. And normally, we come from far away lands or territories.
When such is a person's predicament, the only solution is to bear the hardships and, however marginally, become successful at something. After all, it's not like some of us can just walk across a common border and go home, or catch a ride to a nearby relative for a repose.
When a person has no one to depend on, other than her or himself; when the task of returning home is near impossible, often, the only solution is to bear the hardships that will often lead to success.
The USA legalizes about 1 million new citizens each year. Hmm I'm not totally against immigration in reasonable numbers. But 1 million new people? . In a country with high unemployment and increasingly limited liveable wage jobs
Er you do realize that many companies are basically IMPORTING these immigrants, right? They are paying for their visas and immigration lawyers. Just like all the spanish immigrants some 'Muricans like to b*tch about. These immigrants are coming here in droves BECAUSE COMPANIES ARE ACTIVELY HIRING THEM. These people are not 'taking' jobs, they are being GIVEN those jobs. Jobs that most Americans either are not qualified for because they lack the skill set or don't want to do themselves but would rather complain and blame them ferreigners or darkies or whatever.

Yes, this has been known for a long time but because this country is so massively obsessed with race the mere suggestion makes people think you're lying.
