Is that TRUE?? the 1920 thing?
Was it because of us WOPs :)
We turned out to be a decent lot in the end!!
don’t know what that 1924-1965 thing is all about. my own mother showed up at Ellis Island in 1928, went back in 1932 and came back again two years later. I do think that immigration during that time frame was open fairly exclusively to western European folks. courtesy of the drunk and swimmer Ted Kennedy (Drunk-Jack Daniels) Congress closed immigration to western Europeans and opened it to all that we see today.
Time was NOBODY could emigrate to the US unless they had a job, or sponsor, that they were of good moral character, and carried no communicable diseases.
I fail to see the "controversy" of that.
What country, no matter how liberal, wants diseased welfare mooches?
