Immigration: ‘Looking for a better life’

Re: “Biden Facing Woes Similar to Trump’s at U.S. Border” [May 9, A1]: The article’s viewpoint was that of these of us who’re already right here. Nevertheless, the reality is that until one can hint one’s heritage again both to the Indigenous individuals who have been the unique inhabitants of this land, or to these whose heritage traces again to the compelled immigration of these introduced right here to be enslaved, one’s heritage is that of an immigrant.

The fact is that these of us, together with myself, whose households got here right here on the lookout for a greater life, are all of the descendants of immigrants. The Mayflower introduced among the first immigrants to this land.

The place would you be now if the Mayflower had been turned away and compelled to sail again to Europe?

It’s value occupied with that earlier than you begin supporting these in our authorities who’re doing all they’ll to stop new generations from becoming a member of us.
