[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3560449, member: 5412"] We are cleaning out MIL's house prior to an estate sale. We found her grandfathers immigration application from the 1800's and the associated letter of recommendation by a citizen that was required at that time. He immigrated from Germany, moved to KS to farm and applied for citizenship. Back then from what I understand, before you could submit the application to become a citizen, you had to have a citizen in good standing recommend you and vouch that you had skills, knowledge and enough money to support yourself and the family. He passed, made the land run and staked out his 40 acres. Trump was trying to return to this way of becoming a citizen by requiring people to apply before entering our southern border vs opening the doors and letting them flood in with a promise to appear. If you didn't have skills, and a means to support yourself, we didn't want you. Most countries around the world do exactly the same thing. Mexico included. There is absolutely zero reasons to allow people that can't support themselves as immigrants to become a burden on our society and it's resources while ignoring our own homeless living in squalor.
