Our immigration issues are hardly a new phenomenon…
These are from the 1800s, with the Irish and Italians but especially the Chinese as popular targets (leading to the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, which wasn’t repealed until 1943).

@whowasthatmaskedman They were fine with the railroad work. But once they were built… Just like with the slaves, once our ancestors asked for wages for the work, they were "lazy"…
@bijouxbroussard The Chinese have "colonized" every continent and and usually retained their culture and succeeded.. They have to be doinfg something right. Maybe people should learn from them?😷
@whowasthatmaskedman There are specific reasons. But it makes a huge difference when one chooses to immigrate, as opposed to being brought by someone else, separated from anyone with a common culture, forbidden to speak one’s language, name changed and children stolen.
@bijouxbroussard I completely agree..But thats a very different question. The one thing I might add to your point is, that at this distance in time, it is hardly the fault of the "forced immigrant" that they have not Integrated into their new country. It is the fault of those who refuse to accept then as part of that society..😷
