Thank you for a very helpful reminder of our country’s history, much of it shameful in regards to each generation’s current immigrants.
Sad how quickly people that are themselves descendants of immigrants turn on those behind them (“pulling the ladder up behind them”).
I’ll bet few of the current GQP would believe Reagan’s speech actually occurred. They forget that while he did many despicable (and criminal) things, he wasn’t nearly as anti-immigrant as the current GQP scumwads.
The Asian immigrants that I worked with years ago never “pulled the ladder up behind them.” They supported each other, I was impressed by their extended family support.

Hey, George. Not only "pulling the ladder up behind them," but also for support stepping on the heads of people below them, I dare say.
Oh yeah, some do indeed.
Morning (well, here, anyway) Lynell.
I agree that George has hit the nail on the head; pulling the ladder up after they've climbed it.
Yep. Way past both our "Mornings," Ally!

We can be proud that we still attract immigrants, but we can do better.
