How refreshing is this? Can you imagine immigrants coming into America LEGALLY and actually taking the time to learn the English language and our American customs? How old fashioned is that? I wonder if anyone back in 1938 requested Hebrew as a second language, or German, or Italian? Like the millions of immigrants who came to America before them, these newcomers to America are taking the positive steps necessary to become citizens of the greatest country in the world. One must wonder when, and more importantly, why we lost the spirit of folks like these.
