Send the "Government" People Back to 3rd Grade

It makes you laugh doesn't it - the son of two immigrants, who has himself married a string of immigrants...

The Irish Potato Famine was horrendous. What most people who condemn immigrants conveniently ignore (or are possibly just too stupid to realise) is that they themselves, and everyone they know or have met or ever will meet is descended from someone who was originally not native to their country.

Truth be told. I am mortified at the way things are going. What do you tell the children now?

It is like our prime minister. He has a set of rules for himself and another set for the citizens.

I hope they also taught her what the Native Americans were going through at that same time.

Immigration to the USA is a big topic for German pupils in secondary grammar schools. I can't remember how often I taught it.

The trouble is many current immigrants aren't doing the same things the old immigrants did. Back then immigrants appreciated the opportunities they had here. Many would change their names to something more American sounding. They'd change their customs, learn our language, work hard at whatever sort of job they could get.. often something much more demeaning than what they were used to in their own country... but they appreciated all of that, and did it willingly. These days immigrants want us to change our rules, customs and policies to suit them.. every business must have interpreters of all languages as immigrants won't learn English. I don't expect them to give up their own customs.. but they need to respect ours. They don't have to change their name or stop speaking their own language, but I do think they should make the effort to learn English. Just some of my thoughts..

Back then, the immigrants did it the right way @DianneN . Nowadays, they can be here for 40 years and still don't know English.

What is Trump's ancestry? How many generation American is he I wonder?

But the difference is that they assimilated themselves into the American culture. Now, they want a whole country to change, to accommodate them. Then there's that whole problem of terrorist wanting to come over and do terrible violence against the US, just because it's the usa.

She is adorable and a very smart young girl. It is sad what has been going on the past few days with the immigration and that stupid wall. I just sit here shaking my head!!

So very, very true.

She would be a perfect teacher to Mr. Orange Head.

But some bad elements of this world take the advantage of this immigration to spread their terror.

So many of us are immigrants or children of immigrants. Funny, even Trump seems to forget where his family is from! Most writing here are not descendants of the natives. What are people thinking?

sounds like this smart little girl takes after her grandmummy

Each leader (of every country) makes rash promises, then quickly implement some of the policies they hold dear. They don't seem to think the consequences through. The electorate is also to blame....they never seem to truly hold their leader accountable for their actions. They are also easily swayed by promises made.....

Nuff said, is right.

My people came from Germany, I know this country is all about immigrants and I sure agree, unless they are here illegally they need to do it in a legal manner.

Yeah, right nuff said.
