Now that the shoe is on the foot of the sanctuary states, there is a different tune, It was okay when it was NIMBY, but not now. Nothing says hypocrisy like progressive! Keep voting to give the farm away!

Evidently there is some ignorance about past immigration. First, it did serve a purpose for America. Either settling the West in the immigrations of the 1800’s or supplying factory workers for the Industrial Revolution of the early 1900’s. Either way when you came in the government did not support you.

My grandparents came over in early 1900’s. Someone had to vouch for you. You could not just come into America. And you had to pass some screenings. My grandfather failed the health exam and was separated from his family at age 6. He and his mother had to sail to England to get treatment and then they sailed back and were allowed in.

After my family was settled this is how they brought additional family over. My grandfather, his father and his 2 brothers worked and saved money. When they brought a family over they had secured an apartment for the family, a job for the father ( meaning someone in the family got him a job ) and had saved enough money for the family to live for one year. After that, the family was on their own.

People gave to work and make their dream true. They didn’t come for a handout
