Many years ago, our church sponsored a large family escaping the horrors of the Cambodian War. While running through the killing fields on their way to Laos, one of their family members was killed.
Upon arriving in Detroit, they did not speak English and were completely disoriented with their new society. One of the church members gave the father of the family a job in a machine shop. He rode a bicycle to and from work even in the snow and rain.
After saving their money, they bought a donuts shop. Again, they saved enough money to buy a donuts shop in Los Angeles where it was a warmer climate. All their children obtained masters degrees from USC.
They are now quite wealthy and contributing members of society.
Our grandparents were immigrants. Salute those who built America!
