1900 - plenty of work in US factories for unskilled immigrants.
2024 - the factories are gone, so no work for unskilled immigrants.
Today’s immigrants want good things, and they want them now. With the factories gone, there’s only one easy option: crime. So expect muggings and other violence to become even more commonplace.
Good work, Joe. Not.
Ellis Island opened in 1892. ALL of those 1900 immigrants passed through there and had rigorous health checks, proof that they wouldn’t be a burden on the USA, had to have skills and ability to support themselves, had to have a sponsor in the USA to be admitted, and more.
So not only are all the jobs gone, but the sensible checks on immigrants are gone as well. Now anybody and everybody just waltzes in over the non-existent southern “border,” goes on welfare, gets spending money, and expects free food, housing and cell phone.
All because the power-mad Democrats will do ANYTHING to stay in power.
2024 - the factories are gone, so no work for unskilled immigrants.
2024 - plenty of Govt fiat debt and money for unskilled migrants, to implement neo-marxist political and social-engineering schemes.
1900s immigrants weren’t given luxurious welfare gibs and wanted to become Americans. When my dad was growing up Polish was strictly forbidden in the home... Now, there are illegals who have been here for 20 years and don’t speak a word of English and our voter ballots are published in dozens of languages.
