Using government funds and government agencies for partisan purposes should be illegal.
Something else to be dismantled once Cruz is President.

If memory serves correct there were no Indians being forced to pay for a white men’s living at that time though...
My grandchildren have ancestors who came through Ellis Island...
This treasonous idiocy is a slap in the face to them and the rest of the 12 Million people who came here LEGALLY...
Two Amens.
Hey Obambi you sorry little Marxist Jackass! You couldn't care less about these third world refugees if you didn't think that they were too uneducated to understand what you are really about and will vote for your ilk just like they did in their home hell holes. KISS MY...
Well said, Nana.
Plus it took all those years to take in 12 million legal immigrants through Ellis Island and we now have that many or more illegal “feet people” here that crossed our southern border in a fraction of those years.
Mostly Europeans? Yes. But most were just looking for better jobs, not fleeing from war, persecution and famine. And Ellis Island wasn't just an acceptance point for immigration. Many were rejected for being ill or for their likelihood of becoming wards of the state and sent back home.
In 1892, immigrants weren’t handed Welfare, Food Stamps, Obamacare and free housing when they got off the boat. They worked and earned a living.
OH! By the way, did I mention that Progressivism / Marxism is the biggest Poncy Scheme ever perpetrated on Mankind in it’s entire history?
GOT AMMO?
Yeah, back then we only accepted people that were not inbred imbeciles or permanently stupid or had communicable deceases. What monsters we were! Oh yeah I almost forgot; We used to insist that they had some sort of skill that would make them a benefit to our society. How sick was that!

Reminds me of something Milton Friedman once said...’You can have open borders or you can have a welfare state but you can’t have both.’
That 12 million is only a fraction. Most immigrants did not come through Ellis Island. My ancestors didn’t. They apparently transferred from a big boat to a small boat and rowed up the river into PA.
Up through free market Coolidge there was no such thing as an “undocumented” or “illegal” immigrant. It was only in the late 20s with RINO Hoover that a law was passed to make it a mis-demeanor to enter the US without playing Mommy-May-I with the Feds. As with Smoot-Hawley, RINO Hoover had to placate factions of populist Republicans while moving toward big government. Big government in immigration was part of his Big government agenda.

My Dad, his two brothers, and his parents came from Holland in 1912, and were processed through Ellis Island. My youngest son and I went to NY in the late 90’s, and took the ferry out to tour the site. Glad I had the chance to visit the place before it was tainted by Obama and his minions.
