Food and different viewpoints are the only argument that needs to presented in the immigrant debate.
But seriously, the different cultures have different viewpoints on issues than Americans. Diversity in a democracy is strength. By having everyone with a different viewpoint contributing to every decision we make, the best possible decision can be made.
Hopefully todays immigrants will continue to advancet through the higher echelons of society and make an impact where it counts. That's the one thing I could hope for...
