I imagine the wretched jabbering mutts that constitute your ancestors who came to this country as immigrants might raise an eyebrow at your attitude.

My people came here from Ireland in 1854. They built this nation. They fought for it so I could enjoy the decades of my life with out knowing war. I'm eternally grateful to them. I'm an American and they're my Irish ancestors. Long left Ireland and I'm glad they caught the boat. They were here long before there was an ICE or an INS or Ellis Island. They were literate people, Catholics of upper middle class and they were working class. They didn't hop over a border with an arrogant and pugnacious sense of wholly undeserved entitlement.

There wasn't agency of the government doing that when my people came here. And they faced discrimination as Irish Catholics. They wouldn't have taken charity anyway.

This isn't America in 1854.

This is the 21st.century, 2022 a.d.

And I think we're traveling at light speed to the end of this once great nation.
