They weren't living off of the taxpayers' tit.

But, I guess it is 'conservative" to support employers hiring illegals and making taxpayers pay for them.

In the 1800s, the US was not very far advanced (in terms of material things) from the countries those immigrants came from.

In addition, there were no government services to serve as a "safety net" for those unable to make it in the new world, and therefore many of them went back home.

Thanks for posting that because now we all know that you're an ignorant fool.

Did they come here legally?

I don't believe they where illegals. I believe they came through places like Ellis Island . I believe most all where documented and we had quotas.
