Turns out he was Iraq, and he had both of his legs blown off during the 91 Gulf War. When he got the oppertunity to come to the US to live full time he jumped at the chance.

Well, maybe he didn't jump because he's got no legs now.

But the point is this is the land of oppertunity and everyone wants to come here for something better. What are we gonna do - say no? Once they live here they learn we aren't horrible people at all - and we have freedoms they don't have in their homeland. This is why we have so many people here from so many different cultures and don't have bombs going off every day.
