Going to be a little hard for this one to drop from memory as we are overtaken with 100+ million people from the south and become the minority in our country.
It will take years... This was a big deal in 1986 and 1987. It went out of the news. Back then they estimate there were 3 million illegals. Today there may be as many as 20 million.
There was a big deal about immigration a hundred years ago. The common vernacular at the time was full of angry statements about the government allowing millions of WOPs to come into the USA. Those WOPs otherwise known as Italians, were never going to learn the language. They took over sections of our major cities and turned them into little Italys. They were not going to assimilate into our English nation.
You know what WOP stands for don't you? With Out Papers.... Yes dear WOPS were those with our papers... another way of saying undocumented workers. Our immigration laws clearly said that all legal immigrants had to have a birth certificate and a document showing they were not felons and had their native goverments permission to immigrate to the usa. WOPS had no such papers... but our government let them in anyway.
Oh yes, and those of English extraction did become a minority in their own country. As the non English speaking Italians, Polls, Germans, Serbs, and Slavs became the majority.
