The Empire State Building was built during the Depression, your grandfather was lucky to find work at all, he must have been skilled.

Italians are white people ( olive really ) Even the Irish faced prejudice when they came to America 100 years ago. The big difference today: we don't need more labor. We don't have blue collar jobs for these people. They are now a BURDEN.

Koreans eat Dog. It's cheap meat and I'm sure they'd rather eat something else.

Savage is not anti-immigration, he is anti-illegal immigration. I'm sure your Grandfather came here honorably through proper INS, like my Grandparents did. Honorable law minded people are a great asset to any nation. People who get to this country illegally are criminals.

My grandfather did come here legally, through Ellis Island. I believe he was a stone mason. He died very young, probably from overworking himself. If you go on the Ellis Island website you can find records of family who passed through there. There were lots of 'Guiseppe Ficheras' passing through Ellis Island then. I don't LIKE illegal aliens because they don't come here legally. Please don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with all of what Mike Savage says. It's just that sometimes he can get a bit annoying. A person can be truthful, but Savage is sometimes a bit too brutally honesy. Know what I mean?

"The big difference today: we don't need more labor. We don't have blue collar jobs for these people. They are now a BURDEN. "

Actually we do need more labor. Ever been to any major old city? What happened to all the carpenters, masons, plumbers, all the supply yards and sundry buisnesses? Furthermore, look at new building everywhere, all designed and built for ever less skilled labor force. I could go on, poor and long time for road repairs. Go into any factory, and asked the factory floor manager about the mechanical skill level of males these days. Very poor. The same can be said and I know from personal experience that it is very difficult to get any, especially American, to show up for work, let alone apply oneself. Before, at and after the turn of the century we had piles of schools that trained mechanics in all fields, and thus gave human power to the industries of the last century. Now we just give prozac, counciling, tv and sports to the less academic types. Lastly it is not a burden. To the lefties who get government jobs and money, it is their buisness. Dependency is a growth industry. It is just the forced taxes on you to pay the lefties that is a burden. Defund the left, the real reason for less taxes and the real reason the left fights it so, because they'd have to get a real job, and we all know how skilled they would be. Not.

Ah...Irish (1/2 on Mom's side) now those are WHITE people! I'm glad that I didn't inherit that skin. A childhood friend of mine came fishing with me back in gradeschool and got burnt red in one hour from the reflection from the water. So for the next two days I went to the beach all day with his sister, who got her skin from the Italian side, while he recovered in the house.
