I am. That's why I'm learning Spanish. Americans can't maintain a wall to keep the rest of the world's problems away forever. It is one lifeboat. The "theirs" and "mine" mentality has not provably improved the mean standard of living for humanity. I am a free agent -- not unionized. I don't need to because I'm in demand. However, if I'm not in demand -- I'm not treated all that well. You apparently have missed the experience of being a menial worker. Not everyone has had the advantages (and luxury) of having lived in a house with heat. Good light. Educational encouragement. Relative safety. I sure see why a lot of people want to be here. Especially those who are already on the "island".
