The out of control "free for all" that detained people on Ellis Island until they were met by relatives? (My grandmother had to stay in that hellhole overnight, with six kids, one a babe in arms, because my grandfather didn't get there in time, as noted on the ship's manifest; and he, before her, was not allowed to leave until picked up by his brother-in-law). The same "out of control" immigration that sent heartbroken immigrants back to their country of origin if they didn't pass a physical? The same "out of control" immigration which allowed people fleeing starvation and war to come here, but didn't give them a dime of the public dole to earn their keep?
The same "out of control" immigration that, in spite of the hardships, discrimination and poverty made our ancestors determined to become "Americans," and not some hyphenated multi-culti with divided loyalty to the "homeland?" -- or worse yet, arriving here with thinly-veiled hatred for their adopted land, and determined to use their new-found freedom to subvert freedom?
Shall I go on?
