What if I my family had been blocked from entering and turned back and turned out where would we have gone? I expect they believed in the words on the Statue of Liberty.
I don't know what immigration was like so many decades ago. Did you have to get permission while you were fleeing genocide in your country and wait your turn to be approved? If so they would have been dead and it would have been moot.
Anyway that's my story and so I think I am NATURALLY more sensitive to immigrants and what they go through FLEEING CERTAIN DEATH and I don't despise them or vilify them or insult them or denigrate them as so many "good Americans who want the ego wall" do every day and every night. The closer you are to being an immigrant the less dismissive you are of those who want to save their children's lives. Odd that isn't it? How very odd that parents want their children to survive.
