I got stuck at the in-laws and had to watch this garbage from Pelley. They interviewed one of the biggest leftist buffoons of our time, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney.

Kenney lied and slandered millions of Americans of Italian heritage. The "WOP" slur does not mean "Without Papers". It derived from the Southern Italian dialect term guappo, meaning swaggerer. It is not a nice term but to see it hijacked for political purposes is disgusting.
Kenney also lied by trying to compare legal Italian and Irish immigrants from Europe with the current wave of illegal invaders.

>>The bulk of Irish Diaspora came to America in the 1840s. We didn’t have papers either. We were undocumented.

Watch this last night. Pelley is full of crap and so was the mayor of Philadelphia.

In 1840, the US needed workers. There was more work in the new country than there were workers.

We just don’t need foreign laborers anymore.

Weren't many members of Italian organized crime illegal aliens?

I seem to remember quite a few of them being deported.

Ok. Now I agree that such sanctuary houses of worship should lose their tax-exempt status.

This isn’t the 1800’s anymore. We are not a big empty country.
Every other country has and enforces immigration laws.
We should too.

When one of my French ancestors came to America in 1774, he had to have “papers” and someone in the Colonies to sponsor him or would not have been allowed to come here. I have photo copies of all the paper work from 1774.

Bout fell out of my chair when I heard that. Growing up in the 60's it was common in the neighborhoods. Turned the channel to watch the paintpealing channel.

1980 The Refugee Act defines refugees as a person who flees his or her country “on account of race, religion, nationality, or political opinion.“ Refugees are considered a different category than immigrants. The president and Congress are granted the authority to establish an annual ceiling on the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. The act also lowers the annual limit of immigrants to 270,000, from 290,000......................... 1986 The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) allows immigrants who had entered the U.S. before Jan. 1, 1982, to apply for legal status but required them to pay fines, fees, and back taxes. It also gives the same rights to immigrants who worked in agricultural jobs for 90 days before May 1982. About 3 million immigrants gained legal status through the law. The act also requires employers to verify work status of all new hires and fine those who hire undocumented workers..................
