[Clemenza]

My Polish and Italian ancestors came her for a better economic position, nothing more, nothing less. This was the case of 90% of all immigrants, possibly more. The belief of many on this site that it was to "become American" is revisionist WW II era nonsense.

American culture is a Borg culture: you will be assimilated, albeit not likely in the Ward and June Cleaver mould.

just one time I’d like one of these insufferable pro-amnesty elite jackasses like Rove, Lindsey, John McCain, Krauthammer or the whole damn editorial board of the Wall Street Journal to come down to Texas and spend a month in a town that has been taken over by illegals ....then they can tell me that they are going to convert these people to republican voter...my god what idiocy

The only time these idiots have ever seen an illegal is working at a menial job to serve them food or cut their lawn....they don’t live surrounded by them and there is a damn big difference
