My youngest son is glaring at me for making such a hideous noise when I hit "Slavic special ed."

Yup. My wife came here and earned her citizenship the old-fashioned way. At her peak, she was working two full-time jobs and two part-time jobs. 5 of her 6 siblings came here by way of chain immigration over a 10 year period, waiting in line and a $15K expense on my part (real money in 1970s dollars). The other brother came here on his own and joined the Navy. All by the book and legal. Three of my brothers-in-law earned U.S. citizenship by serving in the Navy. A CWO4 w/ 31 years, E-7 w/ 26 years, and E-4 w/ 4 years. 3 sisters-in-law immigrated legally, got jobs, earned their citizenship, prospered. None of them ever took a dime of welfare. I have no liking for illegal immigrants. They are no better than line jumpers at Popeye's Chicken...which chaps my ass.
