Our undocumented immigrants make America a better place
I asked my friend what he thinks America wants from him, and what he wants from America.
"America doesn't know what it wants from me," Vargas said. "What I want from America is for America to see me, to see us, fully and holistically."
I see him. I see them all. And I have no doubt that this country is better off with the undocumented in it.
They infuse the country with optimism, fresh ideas and a fierce work ethic.
In fact, I propose a trade. For every one of these folks that we want to keep, let's gather up 100 entitled, angry and lazy U.S.-born Americans who aren't carrying their weight -- and deport these underachievers.
But what country would take them?
