Becoming Legal

I recently met a British citizen who has been living in the U.S. for over a dozen years while handling international business. Last Monday the Brit, after much studying, hoop-jumping, waiting and paying fees, became a U.S. citizen. I had to ask this new citizen what their opinion was of our Illegal Immigration situation. New Citizen is not too happy with the situation on the border or the rest of the country. New Citizen waited several years, filled out a lot of forms, studied to answer many questions, fortunately already spoke English (kind of) , spent not a small amount of money, was checked and rechecked for background and character ... only to now be able to , as a New Legal Citizen, watch as millions of Illegal Immigrants get organized to demand what our New Legal Citizen spent several years obtaining legally. So I had to point out to our New Legal Citizen that if they had crept across the border illegally and performed a job that Legal Citizens would not do (supposedly) then there would be no end of people (citizens) wanting to help out and fast track you on the road to Citizenship, pay for your education, the education of your children (New Citizen's kids go to college on their own dime), provide you with taxpayer funded healthcare...etc.... Our New Citizen thinks it is nuts.
And just one other thing.....I cannot understand why, IN AMERICA, I have to press a button for FREAKIN ENGLISH !!!! THIS IS AMERICA CITIZENS...A-M-E-R-I-C-A !!!!! WE SHOULD BE SPEAKING ENGLISH ALREADY!!!! So why should I have to choose????? Can't we default to ENGLISH??? Fine if the ATM owner (or whatever other business situation decides to make me press a button to use ENGLISH in AMERICA) wants to offer another language for instructi0ns to those needing it. BUT DON'T MAKE AN ENGLISH SPEAKING CITIZEN OF AMERICA PUSH A DAMN BUTTON TO SELECT OUR OWN LANGUAGE!!!!! It's a small thing certainly but it is also symptom of the gradual erosion of what is AMERICA.
Come here with something positive to offer. Come here legally, learn the language, become a citizen if you desire. Dream big, work hard and help to enrich a great country.

I gotta go now....my head hurts................................ toomuch Boojang tonight......................
