@Hankster58:
I heartily agree that better vetting is long overdue and so is the return to the clear-eyed recognition that we are a country at war.
I’d also add that the sentiments you and others have expressed here about “hyphenated” Americans is a view I’ve held close for as long as I can remember. If you cannot see yourself as an American first and foremost, you’re in the wrong country.
Here Here!!
Do you have any idea what a person had to go thru, as late as 1956, just to IMMIGRATE to America???? This just walk in crap,i don’t know when it started… but it IS the leading cause of much of our “National Upheaval” we’re dealing with today…. My dad was almost DENIED entry…. because an X-ray of his chest showed what “could have been” TB…. had to have an X-ray and med history sent over from Holland showing it was “scar tissue” from childhood Pneumonia!!!! You see them examining people that close TODAY??? And one wonders why we have so many nutcakes getting in!!! Also, one had to have a U.S. SPONSOR, who helped and kept tabs on you for a YEAR, just to make sure you got your feet on the ground, help if needed with any issues, and got off to a good start…. Today???? nada….. anything goes…. and look what’s happening!!!
And WORDSMITH…. there’s nothing wrong with being proud of ones heritage! I agree!! In St.Louis…. there was “Bevo Day” (German heritage celebration in “what was” a predominately German neighborhood once a year)…. “Hill Day”..( held up “on the hill”, a part of St. Louis predominately Italian”) everyone in town knows the best Italian food is “on the Hill”…. Over in Millstadt there’s an Octoberfest, same in Hermann …. that’s cool! St. Charles has a FRENCH festival….History is an IMPORTANT thing.. reminds of how we got here.. the fact they now tend to IGNORE it is part of the cause of the crap going on NOW!!
@Hankster58: I agree that immigration isn’t as stringent in some ways as before. However, I have a new relative, recent immigrant from Eastern Europe. She had to go through an extensive application process; had to obtain police reports from Israel and the UK, where she had lived years earlier that she had no record, warrants, etc. These had to be paid for in the currency of the country of issuance. I believe she also had to have a health clearance too…but probably from her home country. She’s an educated, lovely woman who will be a credit to America. We wouldn’t have anyone in our family here illegally. Disgusting…especially to new Legal immigrants who know what it means to them, having gone through the process.
My family has been here since the early 1700′s; fought for Independence along side George Washington, WWII (101st Airborne and Patton’s Army) and several were military during Viet Nam, although I don’t believe any of them were in combat. Patriotism is big in our family and always has been and as you might imagine, I truly despise what is happening to our country now.
