For those suffering from White Guilt, a certificate of absolution is available from Ken Hamblin, Denver radio talk show host.
When I was growing up in the Rochester NY area, 55 years ago, the city was pretty much divided by ethnic region. In the 1960s, it was not at all uncommon to hear a police call with the dispacher clearly stating "we need an Italian speaking officer on this one". Fortunately, back then, about 1/3 of the force was 1st generation American born Italians.
There was also Deutchtown, Ukie Town, Polock town, Lithoanian town, and Jewtown along with 2 Italian areas one on each side of the city.
I clearly remember riding the us with my mother and listening to Italian being spoken by the older women. Since we had Italian neighbors, I learned Italian by the time I was 4 and spoke it equally as well as I spoke English at that time in my life.
Our family moved to the country when I was 5, mainly because my Old Man detested the "Dago" invasion of Deutchtown, and was determined to get away from them "Greaseballs". Interestingly, we moved to a town that detested Italians because it had been the site of a POW camp for Italians during the second World War.
Growing up, I don't think I really worried much about the ethnicity of my genetics, although I suppose I finally figured out I'm a mongrel.
In 1964, Rochester came apart during the first batch of riots when a large part of the Jewish business district was burned. The northern end of the riot and destruction was determined by a self delegated collection of first generation immigrants, Poles, and Ukrane, who were damned if their neighborhoods were going to be invaded and burned. The majority of these people had seen their part of Europe destroyed, and were going to make sure their part of America wasn't.
These were people who had come to America with little more than the clothes on their backs, and had built a life. They hadn't collected a dime of welfare, and probably would have starved to death before they asked for a penny.
Today's "immigrant" is a different story. Since Lyndon Johnson inaugurated the Great Society and AFDC, this country has become a target. Pregnant women from around the world arrive in the US hopeing to deliver here so the kid will have US citizenship, and they will be able to bring the rest of the family over either thru the generoscity of a misguided liberal, or thru welfare handouts. Hordes of liberal nitwits suffering guilt from their misgotten gains line up to "help" these immigrants.
Our immigration laws have been completely rendered impotent, unless the immigrant is a Canadian. The sponsorship requirement for new immigrants has been ignored by beurocrats for 20 years. INS is and is known worldwide as a joke agency. Welfare departments refuse to cooperate with any division of law enforcment. Hundreds of people get off airplanes every week at JFK completely without documents, and the dipsticks at immigration admit them with a smile and a promice to report to some hearing 9 months later. They get issued a temporary SS number, and are directed to the nearest welfare office. Who in he!! actually believes a person got onto an airliner to the US from anyplace in the world without documentation?
The whole [censored] system is a joke.
The agriculture system in this country will collapse without alien workers, documented or undocumented, as will a lot of other industrys. Americans born here flat refuse to work, why should they when they can sit on welfare and eat well, and live in a decent house, with phone and cable TV off the sweat of some other fool's brow.
The generations that immigrated to this country and built it have seen their dream perverted and prostituted by the politicians, of bothe partys. The current public "education" system is a joke. If dollars per student meant anything to how students performed, the brightest graduates in the US would be coming from Washington, DC. Anybody want to suggest they are?
The problem isn't the immigrants, it's the government!
