Turns out if you trace the genealogy of some of the loudest anti-immigration voices you find out their families would not have been allowed into the US under current and proposed public polices were they in effect when their ancestors immigrated.
My favorite so far: Republican Congressman Steve King of Iowa tweeted - “We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies,”
But .... King’s grandmother Freda Harm was one of those "Dreamer" / DACA anchor-baby (or whatever the deplorables call it). She showed up at the age of four at Ellis Island, not speaking English with her parents and had two other little sibling dreamer babies with them.
Then you have Dan Scavino, Jr., White House social media director bellyaching that "chain migration is choking" the US, but documents clearly show his great-grand-uncle coming here on a "business trip". He never leaves (just like the over staying of a visa he complains about) and then the uncle becomes the address for the next brother to use on their paper to immigrate.
Then Gildo (Scavino's great grandfater) gets in on the act and references the other two on his papers. They are followed by sister Esther. And then the youngest Clotilde, her baby son Mario and the Scavinos’ widowed father show up. Does that sound like "chain migration" to anyone?
Like I said - what a hoot.
