re: #110 dog philosopher ஐஒஔ௸

my grandfather came over from poland (in the czarist empire at the time) in 1890 when he was four. eventually he had a career as a surgeon

when he died it came out that he had never been naturalized. his father had been naturalized and his son was born in the u.s.

yes, my grandfather the doctor was an illegal alien. if he was alive today trump would want to deport him

he would be among the people protected by the bill that was rejected today

We’re almost positive that my maternal grandfather’s mother was pregnant with my grandfather’s oldest brother when they came here from Slovenia in 1910. He’s someone that the GOP would call an anchor baby. He later served in WWII as did two of his other brothers and his youngest brother, my grandfather was in Korea. I defend today’s immigrants because I know even though it wasn’t always easy for my ancestors that emigrated that I want today’s immigrants to get the same respect mine got or if they didn’t get respect to get some much needed.
