Immigrants who came to U.S. years ago did so legally Regarding the continuous comments about illegal aliens taking jobs that American citizens don’t want, it has also been reported that at a recent job fair, American citizens, ranging from teenagers to retirees, are looking for all types of work. One American citizen is quoted as saying, "I’m just trying to get a job." Regarding Virginia McGlone’s "dream" of being recognized in this community, what dream has she expressed to her hometown officials in Ocean Township? Yes, we are all here as a result of our ancestors, who were immigrants. The difference is they went through a rigorous screening process and thereafter chose to legalize their citizenship and contribute to our society rather than drain it. Phyllis DeFonzo Freehold
