Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.​

If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Let me tell you a story about Stephen Miller and chain migration.

It begins at the turn of the 20th century, in a dirt-floor shack in the village of Antopol, a shtetl of subsistence farmers in what is now Belarus. Beset by violent anti-Jewish pogroms and forced childhood conscription in the Czar’s army, the patriarch of the shack, Wolf-Leib Glosser, fled a village where his forebears had lived for centuries and took his chances in America.

He set foot on Ellis Island on January 7, 1903, with $8 to his name. Though fluent in Polish, Russian and Yiddish, he understood no English. An elder son, Nathan, soon followed. By street corner peddling and sweatshop toil, Wolf-Leib and Nathan sent enough money home to pay off debts and buy the immediate family’s passage to America in 1906. That group included young Sam Glosser, who with his family settled in the western Pennsylvania city of Johnstown, a booming coal and steel town that was a magnet for other hardworking immigrants. The Glosser family quickly progressed from selling goods from a horse and wagon to owning a haberdashery in Johnstown run by Nathan and Wolf-Leib to a chain of supermarkets and discount department stores run by my grandfather, Sam, and the next generation of Glossers, including my dad, Izzy. It was big enough to be listed on the AMEX stock exchange and employed thousands of people over time. In the span of some 80 years and five decades, this family emerged from poverty in a hostile country to become a prosperous, educated clan of merchants, scholars, professionals, and, most important, American citizens.

You are correct. But can you really say that Australia is any better off?
AUS political system ? Not better, but different :unsure:

Big difference is that Lobbying is more restricted & still somewhat scrutinized. There is still some media in AUS that tries to hold the Gov to account.

The big difference is that AUS can't print it's own currency at will. AUS must borrow on the world market at market set rates. But the fucking Dumbass/Idiot Politician have still manage to get Federal Debt to $1 TRILLION in a country with less than $4 TRILLION GDP.

So we have a bunch of Arseholes running AUS, just like the USA has :devilish:🤡

One wonders why everyone can't achieve the same level of prosperity...?
 

It's being used out of context.

Reagan never said we should let anyone come who wants to come here. (he actually said just the opposite)


Here's some other stuff he said.

"No free and prosperous nation can by itself accommodate all those who seek a better life or flee persecution."

"These principles are designed to preserve our tradition of accepting foreigners to our shores, but to accept them in a controlled and orderly fashion."

"We must not encourage illegal immigration."

"We shall seek new ways to integrate refugees into our society without nurturing their dependence on welfare.

"We must ensure adequate legal authority to establish control over immigration: to enable us, when sudden influxes of foreigners occur, to decide to whom we grant the status of refugee or asylee; to improve our border control; to expedite return of those coming here illegally; to strengthen enforcement of our fair labor standards and laws; and to penalize those who would knowingly encourage violation of our laws.
"
 
How many have been here for 20 - 30 years and never did?

That's something I don't understand. You want to come here. Ok, great. Learn out language and our customs. Become a citizen and assimilate.

For someone to be here for years (and years) but not become a citizen tells me they really don't want to be a American. In those cases they need to shit or get off the pot.
 

US judge says Trump must end National Guard deployment in Los Angeles​

  • Judge finds that Trump exceeded his authority
  • National Guard troops to be placed in governor's control
Dec 10 (Reuters) - A federal judge in California on Wednesday ordered an end to Donald Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles and directed that they be returned to the control of the state's Democratic governor, finding that the Republican president had exceeded his authority.

The ruling by San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer represented the latest legal setback for Trump and his efforts to deploy National Guard troops to Democratic-controlled cities, an extraordinary use of the military for domestic purposes.
