Right. And I think we should spend our efforts trying to convince modern immigrants to do the same. Yelling at them, calling them "illegal", is not a pursuasive argument to make them want to be like us. It is the exact opposite.
By the way, despite your tippy-toeing around the issue, they were legal immigrants.
Yes. Because we had virtually no limits on immigration in those years. We have stupidly, at the behest of communists like Cesar Chaves and his union, lowered the number of legal immigrants to unreasonably low numbers.
This is a whole different breed.
No. They're human just like anyone else.
If they have to be "convinced," they're in the wrong place.
Yelling at them, calling them "illegal"...
They are illegal. Don't words have meaning to you?
Because we had virtually no limits on immigration in those years.
Yes, we did. We had limits based on the number of immigrants who were able to be assimilated. What makes you think that US immigration policy started with Cesar Chavez?
They're human just like anyone else.
Please, taking the cheapest shot possible doesn't enhance your argument.
About spewed my coffee on that one.
Ridiculous.
