1st generations

My father is a first generation American, who originally came here undocumented to the US.  He now is a US citizen who has full legal rights in the US.  People say that there are bad immigrants and good immigrants in society, and if you come here without passing all of the tests first then that makes you bad.  Yet we make this test so difficult it is almost impossible to pass, that is the main reason my father came here without taking it.  By these people definition of what good immigrants are and bad immigrants are he is bad, he is an illegal.  Yet I promise you my father has worked side by side with these people and no one would ever have suspected him of being a first generation illegal immigrant.  My dad is a red head with more freckles then skin who dedicated his life to doing drug prevention in Nevada's school districts.  My father immigrated from Canada, but according to people idea of what bad is that is what he was and illegal immigrant who would be sent back.  Yet no one ever did, no one even questioned him because although he was an immigrant he looked american.  And that is what america is pushing people to become, is this typical american person, white, educated and well versed.  This idea of what an ideal american is, is forcing people to change who they are, even if they are legally here, they are having a forced assimilation upon them so they move away from their culture and into ours.  Immigrants are being forced to dress white, act white, talk white, and seem white.  No wonder Michael Jackson went crazy and died his skin  a fully different color.  This forced assimilation and racial profiling is not based on where or not you are an undocumented/ documented worker but rather on wither or not you have been westernized.
