No Dingell did not engineer the Muslim Immigration.
It is a funny story historically. It is Danny Thomas's fault!
Seriously he was of Lebanese decent and made it big, and he was from Dearborn ( or was it Toledo?) and Middle Eastern folks thought if he could make it their so could they!
I kid you not!
I know that Danny Thomas was from Toledo because I remember him making jokes about it on his old tv commedy show.
Danny Thomas is from Deerfield, Michigan, in Monroe County.
Henry Ford brought the muslims over to work in the River Rouge plants outside of Dearborn.
