Nice piece, Joseph. Here in Minneapolis, we are privileged to have many immigrants as neighbors, notably Somalis and Hmong among many others. They add spice and drive to our community, and we treasure those. Viva la difference!

At the end of the day, worldwide, what most people want is a better life for their kids and they are willing to work really hard for it. We just gotta do a better job of getting out of their way!

My dry cleaner Sam. From Jordan. An engineer there, but couldn't get his license here. Raised two sons who are both engineers here (fully licensed and living their American dream). Sam gives us a music CD every Christmas. A fabric of our community kind of guy who is living his American dream like so many immigrants before him and I hope still to follow.
