On one hand I agree with her; immigrants who move to the US seem to forget that they are becoming AMERICANS. They are no longer Mexican or French or Cuban or whatever citizens. They are now American citizens, with all of the rights, privileges AND responsibilities that come with it. However it often seems that many immigrants want to remain citizens of their native country and yet get the good stuff that Americans get. But that's just my perspective. I know many, many great people who are trying desperately to become US citizens, but I also know many, many shitty people who just want to take advantage.
However, I also got a bad vibe from this lady's letter and I think she is probably a fat, white woman who has never had to really work for anything in her life. She was probably sitting on her fat ass eating oreos while writing that letter, all the while wishing she could say how much she hates it that some Mexicans moved into her neighborhood, but biting her tongue for fear of being exposed as a rascist.
Just my interpretation.
