Well... I have many hispanic and a russain, all are leagal, that help me on our farm. All are the great gardeners and have taught me so much. They do have family that come to the US with a visa to visit and sometimes will come and help them. Several have become personal friends and we still keep in touch through the grapevine. One young man who would come just to sit and talk to learn english. The week before he left he brought tons of pansies and and planted them everywhere. He has now become the mayor, or the equivilent, of his village. He just sent us a sombro that is pretty neat. They are tight extended family, I do admire them. They also have a hudge problem with illegals. They don't like them and want them deported. They or their parents spent alot of time and money to be legal and really get offended when they have to live down the stigma of the illegals. But alot of the legals still have a langauge problem because they are so close to their hispanic community that is all they speak, and they loose their english. AS for the russian, her accent is so big, WOW, even she laughs trying to say some words. But she also does not like illegals. Her father started getting her american citisinship when she was very young and she had to study american citisinship courses for years. As she says, "Inside out and upside down." These are very interesting people, and are good citisins of the USA. ALL of them are better spellers than I!
