Is America so insecure that it no longer believes in the American Dream?

This is my take on the anti-immigration people: There are certain characteristics that mark an individual that is fervently anti-immigrant (they will insist 'anti-illegal'). That is: fear, intolerance, worry, and selfishness. I say that because only such an individual would fret about some impending doom as a result of letting people come here undoented (which they have been doing for more than a century) to work for low wages in jobs that are hard to fill. They have to be so afraid that a small group of mostly illiterate, uneducated people will somehow be able to tip the balance of power and turn this country into a third world crackhouse (which, by the way, is a very arrogant and ignorant claim). Only a person that was secure in themselves and did not have a "what's in it for me?" attitude could accept people from other countries with an open heart and an open mind - just like it reads on the Statue of the Liberty. Ask yourself, what would Martin Luther King or Ghandi say?
