This is a slap in the face to my Great Grandparents who came from Italy to Ellis Island by themselves and left their families behind to start a new life in America.

Ellis Island did quarantines.

[Tell It Right]

"Ellis Island did quarantines."

Bingo!

[Kazan]

The regime really is cracking down on illegals near El Paso because that is where Venezuelans escaping socialism are coming in.

[BenLurkin]

[knarf]

Yeah ... and sent some back, too !

Could be sisters, eh ?

[Sarah Barracuda]

To the commie left, bringing in as many illegals as possible to turn Texas blue is what they have already dreamed of..that is why they are only sending them to Texas and Tennessee..for them open borders means power forever and ever

[Michael.SF.]

Beat me to it. Bet the clown that said that does not know that inconvenient fact.

[Brilliant]

Watching their speeches I marvel at the capacity of these people to lie, lie and lie some more and directly to your face with a completely straight face on their part.

[Steven Tyler]

Us Canada border locked up tight
No body crosses.

How does that happen

[Mathews]

So out of touch... we don’t want Ellis Island.

Those coming through Ellis Island were legal immigrants, not those illegal gimmie-grants coming across.

[UnwashedPeasant]

If I could cartoon, I would show two lines for border crossing: One line with normal people lined up before a gate with a body scanner, like for TSA, labeled Legal, with highly-armed security guards frisking a nun. The other line with a huge crowd of terrorists, etc., flooding through a gap in the wall with cackling Kamala standing by. Title it “Kamala Visits the New Ellis Island” or “Fast Pass for Undocumented Voters.”

Some of my cousins were turned away due to possibly being communist. I have seen many records of people who were sick turned away. People had to declare how much money they had with them, who there were going to in the USA, andd who they had back in the old country. The border with Mexico is a criminal sieve.

[gloryblaze]

Texas, oh Texas!

[Sacajaweau]

They were legal and had to pass a physical. They also had to be sponsered...i.e., the USA wasn’t going to support them (welfare style).

[frank ballenger]

Right.

This new place is for ILLEGALLY border crossing criminals who then demand full rights that we have as American citizens.

No need for legal papers, signatures, classes in American government and life or waiting for approval. Messy stuff like that.

[Texas resident]

I guess they can tell the difference from a border in the desert and an island surrounded by water.

Oh wait, that was a dimrat rep.

[McGavin999]

Then apply the same conditions. Health checks, quarantines, no welfare, food stamps, government handouts.

[SkyDancer]

I have the copy of my great grandmother coming in through Ellis Island; her name is listed in a ledger naming the ship, her name, who sponsored her, where she was going/staying and how much money she had. She also was listed as passing a basic physical exam.

Now the Dem's and liberals are saying we're a nation of immigrants so we should be welcoming the illegals as legal immigrants. Disgusting.
