Immigration happens. In good ways. My father before gaining citizenship was mailed an order to serve in Hitler's army, and instead worked during war years in a Ferguson, MO, munitions plant where danger and risk of catastrophic death was a daily thing. After that, a steady union worker. All the American Dream stuff, not curtailed by bigotry or anti-unionism.
Why be hateful?
