Letter: Some immigrants in U.S. just taking advantage
In regards to the letter about immigrants building this country, surely the writer doesn’t mean to imply that all immigrants, both who entered legally and illegally, should be welcome to come here (“Immigrants built U.S. and are still key contributors,” Star-Advertiser, Letters, July 4). Most recent immigrants lacking permanent legal status initially came here not to contribute to America, but to take the handouts that are funded by taxpayers and provided by progressive politicians.
Yes, you can say that immigrants built the USA since most American families are descended from immigrants, but I dare say many live here legally.
