    While this is very touching, and some might view this as political, the fact remains that we are all immigrants. I've always said that we need to know and understand our past so we know where we're going. There was a time in history when immigration and migration were forced and deliberate. All races were involved in this process. Now, we are still at a point where this is occurring. I do believe that it should be done in decency and in order to maintain the dignity of individuals and systems/ rules/ laws in place. Understand too that the grace you deny others, you might need one day.

      There were few immigration laws until 1882, and given the number of people arriving then, they were barely enforced for some years, so you don't really have a point here. Also, almost all of my ancestors arrived before that point, and I don't consider that we are descended from "legal" immigrants. They were lucky enough to arrive before the laws were created and enforced, and I'm fortunate to be here.
