So many protesters have based their arguments on how
this land is made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one,suggests we should
tear down the Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't
being treated the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other
ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to
people like Mr. Lujan why today's American is not willing to
accept this new kind of immigrant any longer.
Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of
Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship
and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some
would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made
a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad
times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American
households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new
home.
They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new
life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was
handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them.
All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought
with them to trade for a future of prosperity.
Most of their children came of age when World War II broke
out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come
straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None of
these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their
parents had come from.
They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor
of Japan . They were defending the United States of America as one people.
When we liberated France , no one in those villages were looking for the
French-American or the German American or the Irish American. The people of
France saw only Americans.
And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those
immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag and
waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to their
parents who sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly knew what
it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one red, white
and blue bowl.
And here we are in 2006 with a new kind of immigrant who
wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by
playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the
entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother
country. I'm sorry, that's not what being an American is all about
I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900s
deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising
future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those
legally searching for a better life.
I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an
example by those waving foreign country flags.
And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of
Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are
voting on the immigration bill. I wouldn't start talking about
dismantling the United States just yet.
