Immigrants

At last, the President is leading, not trying to be everybody's good guy.

Immigrant kids are among the highlights of the country today. They have dreams without feeling entitled and so work their asses off. No wonder they win all the science fairs and spelling bees.

I once taught a "bonehead" Eng Comp class, about half white American kids born here, about half immigrants, mostly Vietnamese. The former were mostly lazy and poor students, hating the fact they had to take the course. The latter were serious. focused, eager to do well and do the work required to succeed. The American kids slowed the Vietnamese kids down.

Immigrants come here, and it's like being in a frontier. Where's the frontier for white America today?
