My forbears came over in the early 20th Century, and they worked in the textile mills and did all right. My grandfather had one of the first cars in town. My grandmother worked two looms in the mill from the age of 13, and by 16 she was able to buy a house. Immigrants need to participate in the local culture and especially learn the language. This is the American way. Work hard, learn the language and educate your children. This makes you an American, over time. Keep your original culture, to some degree, if you wish. But stand at the 4th of July parade, and cheer along with the Americans. We will accept you!!
