Oh, yes, another point. There were no controls, on immigration, except medical checks, and therefore no "illegal aliens” until the 1930’s. Even then the controls were put into place to get the Mexicans out of California because they were taking "white men's jobs".— June 4, 2010 1:51 p.m.

To "Name Withheld" in Lemon Grove. Unless both of your parents were 100% Indigenous American, you are a product of immigration. Further, there is no “official language” for this country. There was a movement to declare English as the “official language”, but that went nowhere. By the way, the “official language of America almost ended up as … German. Get a “real” American history book, not one of those abominations Texas is scheduled to get where the only “true” contributors to America were white, English speaking, Christian, males, and you can read all about it. Oh, yes, we mustn’t forget about Dutch either (Manhattan Island, aka New York City).— June 4, 2010 1:46 p.m.
