that's just wrong, man.
I moved here from Russia when i was 12. I'm here illegally, but it's not like I had a say in it. (I'll leave the details out of this) It was not up to me.
so I sorta do fit the definition of a "border jumper."
But I sure as hell am not "low class fodder." Stereotyping people like that is simply wrong.
Since I got here, knowing very little English, i've accomplished a lot. More than a lot of Americans that were born here. In fact, many of so called "border jumpers" are far more hard-working and determined than those who are american citizens by birth.
