I happened across this article, and it is excellent.

Here’s a quote:

Immigrants today often move here with no money and no job, and not knowing anyone. That’s bravery to me. It’s a risk that “C” students, the dullards, don’t ever take. Immigrants tend to be highly ambitious and brave persons, which explains why they are more likely than native-born Americans to risk starting up their own businesses. Today, immigrants are the brave people needed to populate the “home of the brave”.

The most oft repeated command in Scripture is, “Do not fear.”
