Legal immigrants learn English pretty much right-away through ESL classes: English as a Second Language as EmmaG has pointed out.

2. Behavior. Standing on the street waiting for work to find you. Legal residence simply go out and look for a job or mail resumes around.

3. Lack of social security card. New borns are required to have one.
