"Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. "
Present day Americans are looking at that past with rose colored glasses.
If you go back and read articles during the flood of immigration early in the 20th century, the public was very angry.
The complaints and fears of the American people of the time came to pass, as the new immigrants changed America, and started, and fed, the movements that we now call the left and liberalism.
And when Italy was liberated, did they see Japanese Americans, or only Americans?
FWIW, I got this email about two months ago.
Excellent post but I think it should be titled New ILLEGAL Immigrants...
I'll even be PC enough to drop "aliens".
Great Letter!
Thanks for posting it.
Thanks SB.
It is false these claims that keep being made "this country is made of of immigrants", because this country was and is not, historically only 5% of all Americans who lived and died working this great country were foreign born.
In contrast, 95% of those who made this country were born here as native US citizens.
But currently immigrants now make up about 10 percent of the population, and they are screaming its not enough, and using false claims that we need more in order to stay in the spirit and tradition of America as the land of immgrants...but this is simply just not true.....the levels are higher than ever before, and that is the real problem since these invasion numbers of immigrants are not the way this county as been built.
