Writer: Library book tells difference between U.S. 'illegals,' 'immigrants'
Letters to Editor
January 1, 2008
I am responding to a lady in the Hispanic Women's Club of Weld County who was wondering why immigrants today are called "illegal" and the Europeans immigrants just were called "immigrants."
According to information from a reference book on Germans and Russians at the Weld County Library District, this is because Europeans came over here legally when their ship came in at Ellis Island, and there were government people and medical people waiting to check them out. There were no interpreters, which is why some of the names were spelled wrong.
Then they were checked out medically, so there would not be diseases spread in America. Even just a eye infection would cause them to have had to go back. If it was a child, the mother might go back with the child. The father would stay so he could work, and send money to bring them here. If it was parents who were sick, maybe the adult kids would stay and the parents would go back. Yes, it broke up families, but that was the law and they knew it. Most of them could not speak English, and there was no interpreters. Until they learned English, they were cheated by businesses, but most Americans were honest.
They were just glad to be here in America, and they would never complain. They just worked harder and learned English to make a better life for themselves.

This is the biggest fraud perpetrated by the OBL Razas and the NAU gov.!
There is absolutely NO connection with immigrants who docked at Ellis Island and the criminal illegal aliens who slither over the border from Mexico and Central America!!! Period!!!
They are and will always be ILLEGAL ALIENS. And their anchor brats will always be illegitimate! (mod edit)
