Legal, Law abiding, and have been in country for quite a while, not sure how long, but a while.
You know, the kind of people that came to this country because they loved it. The ones who weren't raised to be politicians and really want to help the country.
Also, President of the United States should not pay enough to make you a rich man. This way, I believe we would get more honest people running for president.
How much does the average presidential candidate make in a year? Well, generally it is way more then I make in 10 years.
Problem? Every presidential candidate is what I would call rich. And since most of them were raised rich, I find that they are sorely out of touch with the majority of the population of the US.
Reform needed? Yes.
Also, I have found that many immigrants, particularly those from oppressive countries, know how a government takes over a country. And if they are honest, could take steps to avoid this.
Of course the old adage "Power corrupts" So, I think that the way our government is supposed to be, is the way we need to steer our government.
Big government is bad, the less the government interferes with the daily lives with the citizens, the better.
Wow sorry got a little away from the question. I hope I answered your question.
