Hell though I take that back about my ancestors being law abiding. I remember my grandfather telling us his father bootlegged during prohibition. I doubt he made a big profit but he was likely violating the Volstead Act when he was still an Alien. And yet Grandpa and while I loved him dearly still was a bit judgmental towards illegal immigrants. I thik the problem is so many native Americans have no idea what immigration is like these days for people. It’s more pricey and timely. My grandfather’s parents emigrated in 1910. By the end of that decade, Great Grandpa had already put in his papers and he was a citizen in the early 20’s.
