As the observer, of the news
and the Facebook
barrage of words… it strikes
me, the old saying..
Be careful what you wish
for….
The media.. all over..
Facebook, talk shows, some
what the news… newspapers… it
is every where.
The shock and horror of the
signing of no immigrants
in to America
from 7 countries. And now he is
talking about adding some
more counties.
See I remember about 3 or 4
years ago, running around
Facebook was meme of Robin
Williams, about building
walls around the USA
one out.. that we would be
come self sufficient. We wouldn’t
need to trade with anyone..
We wouldn’t go to war with
anyone, because we would keep
them all out of the USA
Why poor Robin got his name
on this, is beyond me.. as he
definitely did not say it or
thought it. But I do remember
people passing that thing
around many times and adding
their two cents to it.
I am still waiting for the
lobbyist and the term limits..
But that won’t be in my life
time…
But back to the immigrants…
You see I am old enough to
remember the rest of the
immigrants.. you know the ones,
the ones that were your
grandparents? Or Great grandparents
and even now maybe your great,
great grandparents? See I
remember the word WOP… it was
not a nice name to call
the Italians. For those who don’t know.. the word WOP
Stood for W….with….O ….out…P…. papers… Now what
does that suggest to
you? They came over on the ship
thru Ellis
Island .. not so much. There were a lot of them
who did.. but there obliviously
were those who did not.
There is the Irish who came
in as second hand people,
on a indentured servant
policies. We had the Chinese
who came in a lot of times
not true proper channels, and
were put into slavery,
because they never could pay off
the amount the boss paid to
have them come. They dug
the hole deeper owing the
company store.
Say nothing about the poor
Japanese people that the
Government so quickly put
into camps and took their
property, business, forever.
No immigrants have never been
truly accepted in the
would not be here, had their
families not came here from
somewhere. So unless you are an Native American
Indian.. your family came to
these shores, be it legal
or not..
With a lot of those who
came.. there was the bad element
who came with them. You have
the Irish and Italians
fighting in New York
You had the Vietnamese gangs, the Japanese gangs.
But they were the 10% .. the
rest of them were and
are good folks who just wants
the same as you and I.
A place to live, be able to
afford food, a job.
and those who are afraid of
the Muslins? Do you
know they have been here
since the 1880?, No I
didn’t think you did.
And while you are yelling and
ranting to your friends..
Be careful what you wish for…
And think about how
your family got here. Google it sometime.
And remember we hate what we
don’t understand.. and chose not to understand…
