And in due course, they will be citizens. They will be Americans.

Yes, many motel/hotel operators are from India. Many convenience stores are owned and operated by Lebanese/Syrian immigrants. Nail salons seem to be primarily Southeast Asian enterprises. Families sponsor these immigrants to move here and become part of the business and part of the country.

This is how immigrants assimilate, make a contribution, and become citizens.

Not too long ago, many Irish immigrants routinely joined the civil service as policemen and firemen, with the assistance of friends and family.

Nothing alarming here, in my opinion.
