I don't remember massive federal welfare programs being available to my ancestors as soon as they walked, legally, through Ellis Island. But I could be wrong. /sarc.
No, our ancestors came for freedom and the American dream of hard work with its rewards and not free stuff.
You are exactly right. Tucker Carlson had a pre-taped compendium of some of his classic interviews with crazy liberals last night (so he could take off Labor Day, I expect).
One of the “guests” went down that road about all of our “ancestors” coming to this country. And that was my first reaction, as well, that our “ancestors” did not come here looking for FREE EVERYTHING, like the current generations of invaders do.
