About Immigrants and those who come from families of "Immigrants" (or if you know any)

...Millions of people are "immigrants" and come directly from "families of immigrants." I hope those people, those millions of people, take a good look at Trump and what he is doing. Come November, those that vote, (and there are millions) ought to think about voting straight "Democrat" up and down the voting column. Very few Republicans have took a stand against this.

...How many well known Republicans say this is wrong? Laura Bush?. .How about Republican leadership? I don't see Republican leadership taking a stand against this.

So, if you wanted your kids to be "locked up" than support the Republicans. Otherwise..sanity is with Democrats. Democrats are against this. This is wrong.

They stayed at Ellis Island for one week to prove they did not have tuberculosis. Then they proved that they could read a language,,(their language was Yiddish)..then.......

On my dad's side they were here before the Revolution. They just showed up, found some land and moved in. On my mother's side they immigrated from Norway in the 1840s. They just showed up and found some kind of work. I suppose all of them settled on land that rightfully belonged to someone who was already here.
