Those hardy and great people did it the right way: "They came here legally". to paraphrase the Ranger "NUFF Said".<BR/><BR/>A de-jected & dis-allusioned old vet from WW II; Korea & Vietnam!<BR/><BR/>This is America!

We died at Omaha Beach; Casablanca; Iwo Jima; Guadacanal and Leyte Gulf.<BR/><BR/>Right now we have the finest fighting force in the world trying to give millions of people the things we have and take for granted, the right of Freedom!<BR/><BR/>I suggest that the people of this nation take "PC" and change it from "Politically Correct" to "Patriotic Country."<BR/><BR/>That way we might continue to survive as the Greatest Nation in the World!<BR/><BR/>ltcmdduke@zoomtown.comltcmddukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02682947457669275223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-1154548374841121982006-08-02T15:52:00.000-04:002006-08-02T15:52:00.000-04:00Not only is Alaska Jen correct that earlier immigr...Not only is Alaska Jen correct that earlier immigrants to this country were not well treated, but many didn't just "melt" into the US and sever ties to their old countries.<BR/><BR/>The "troubles" in Ireland were signficantly worsened by funding for the IRA from the Irish immigrant community in the US.<BR/><BR/>It's a sterotype, but what about mob connections that spanned the Atlantic in the Italian community.<BR/><BR/>Certainly the British immiagrants in this country when it started maintained a strong connection that is still reflected in our countries strong relationship with the UK.<BR/><BR/>I'm not taking a position on how things should be now, just noting that the more things change, the more they stay the same.Christopher Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16947034888487890485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-1153509078061589952006-07-21T15:11:00.000-04:002006-07-21T15:11:00.000-04:00Amen, Rosemary.Amen, Rosemary.Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441650804663512624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-1153461650121608932006-07-21T02:00:00.000-04:002006-07-21T02:00:00.000-04:00This post is awesome.

I agree that those immigrants had to work their butts off & were poorly paid and poorly treated, my great-grandparents among them. So much to say about this subject, so I'll stop here. However, where is it written that people are entitled to "something for nothing?"cantellyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139767560648116575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10608053.post-1153365988188460222006-07-19T23:26:00.000-04:002006-07-19T23:26:00.000-04:00Are you serious?
