Took the USS Guy Mannering to NYC to PA.
Became coal miners.

Every single one of us, recent or a few generations back. My grandparents were immigrants to this country, came through Ellis Island. Their names are proudly on the wall there...

Does Trump not remember that his own grandfather came here as an immigrant
