theadvertiser.com: Freedom and opportunity.
Two hundred thirty-one years after America declared its independence, the freedom and opportunity it offered back then still attracts people from across the globe who long for an education, a good job, peace and asylum.
They flock, not just to New York City and Miami and Los Angeles. They also slip quietly into smaller communities like Lafayette, where they embrace and celebrate the local culture while maintaining the best of their native lands.
Today, as we mark the birth of the United States of America, we celebrate the U.S. and us, especially those from other nations who chose to make America and Lafayette their home. We share here some of their stories of hope, love and success, as well as some of their opinions on America's policies toward illegal immigrants.
Be sure to read the rest of this story! This is only a small part of it.
