They're Pouring Into The U.S.; Streaming Across The Borders, And Destroying Our Way Of Life!
67
California
Currently, thousands-upon-thousands of them are showing up at the border, often overrunning the officers who have been stationed there to keep them out. And once they get into the state, many are wandering all over the countryside and setting up filthy, disease-infested tent cities on the edges of beautiful farmlands and ranches.
They have already ruined such population centers as Bakersfield, San Bernardino, Fresno and San Jose, and their children have caused many of the public schools to be overcrowded. And those people are straining local governmental social services and charities to their limits.
In addition, many, if not most of them, are illiterate, frequently display anti-social behavior and practice very poor hygiene.
St. Louis and Kansas City, Missouri
They are arriving in those two great cities in droves, mostly looking for work, government handouts and charity. And because there are so many of them and all of them are backwards people from impoverished rural areas, they have dramatically changed the local landscapes for the worse. Those two municipalities will probably never be the same.
Chicago, Illinois
A tremendous number of them have managed to make it all the way to this magnificent town and are destroying a number of its communities at warp speed.
A great many of them are loud and ignorant; most refuse to assimilate; and hardly any of them are making an effort to learn English.
Also, many of the foods they eat are disgusting and the foul odors that permeates from their cooking smells so bad, it would turn the stomach of the average American.
Milwaukee and other areas of southern Wisconsin
Many of the men “drink like fish” and are almost always intoxicated and many of the women appear to have loose morals and they are smelly.
Very few of them can speak English and they show little of no interest in learning how to do so.
In fact, they have staked out sizable regions and turned them into patches of the countries they came from. Nearly everywhere you look, there is “Little this” and “Little that” and most Americans are unwelcome in those places.
Minnesota
In this beautiful jewel of the upper Midwest, they can be seen all over the place, doing such things as speaking to one another in their “native tongue,” wearing their “native dress”, and doing their “native dances.”
And just like the ones in Wisconsin and Chicago, they have carved out their own “homes away from home” and are making no effort to be a part of America and to live as Americans.
Cleveland, Ohio, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Buffalo, New York
Those cities and the surrounding areas have been overrun by those people and many more are arriving every day. And considerable numbers are showing up with nothing but the filthy clothing on their backs -- and their overall behavior is crude and downright discourteous.
In addition, a great many are setting up residence in the worst parts of the areas in which they have decided to settle and they are rapidly transforming those places into being even worse off than they already were.
The Greater New York City Metropolitan Area
They are swarming into this part of the country like roaches with no place to go and have turned a considerable number of once clean and decent communities into teeming slums.
Furthermore, because they tend to have very large families, their children are causing many of the local public schools to be grossly overcrowded. Also, so many of them are involved in criminal activities they are causing the jail and prison populations to soar through the roof. And so many are lazy, poor and destitute, they are draining massive resources from the local government social services and charitable organizations.
They are causing the entire area to be in a state of crisis.
Actually, I wrote the foregoing accounts by placing myself in a time machine that took me back to 1930’s America.
Thus, I was not writing about the nation’s current illegal immigration problem, nor was I writing about all of the Mexicans, Central Americans, eastern Asians, central-western Africans, Haitian boat people and other “coloreds” that are presently arriving in the U.S.
I was writing about American and European white people. This article is about the way things were during the period spanning the mid-to-late 1800’s to 1930’s.
First, all of the “undesirables” that were crossing the California border to enter that state were the impoverished whites from the Midwest “Dust Bowl” and who were widely referred to as “Okies”. You know, the same ones that John Steinbeck wrote about in “The Grapes of Wrath.”
The ones who migrated to St. Louis and Kansas City were the “poor white trash” that left the Ozarks in the 1930’s to look for better pickings in the big cities.
The huge numbers in Chicago, Wisconsin and Minnesota were the Polish, Germans and Scandinavians that began arriving in those areas during the mid-to-late 1800’s.
The whites who “upset the balance of nature” in such cities as Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo were the thousands who relocated to those urban areas from the northern Appalachians.
The new arrivals to the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area were largely comprised by the Irish, Italians from southern Italy, and eastern-European Jews.
At this point, I will just say, Enough said.

I think the sense of entitlement was not like it is today. Back then more people knew what it was like to starve and be persecuted and had more empathy for the most part. I pray we get that back here in America or we just might find ourselves strangers in a strange land.
Hello, Druid Dude,
Thank you very much for your generous comment and for the compliment.
As a matter of fact, this hub is part of a build up to my writing about all the "Aztecs" who are in America today.
Hello, Hyphenbird,
When it comes to people being more empathetic in the past than they are today, I guess that depends on the part of the country you're talking about.
In California, for instance, there was not a whole lot of empathy for all the "Okies" who migrated there during the 1930's. Some of the things that happened to those people at the hands of "native Californians" were horror stories.
And many people are not aware that in addition to Ellis Island, Savannah, Georgia was a major port of entry for European immigrants.
Well, in the late 1800s, numerous Italians landed in Savannah and as things turned out, scores of those immigrants were lynched by the Ku Klux Klan.
And in the late 1800's near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie, hired a small army of Pinkerton guards to slaughter unarmed coal miners -- most of whom had migrated there from the northern Appalachians --just because those workers wanted to organize themselves in order to be paid more than the small wages that Carnegie was paying them.
And I could go on ... and on, about accounts like the foregoing.
Yep. Not that it much matters at all - but I'd like to find out a lot more about my family history. I know the Shaw family came to Texas From Kentucky, and my Mother's family (Coker) came here from Missouri.
That's really all that I know. I do know that Mother's family has some Native American in it, and that an ancestor his another ancestor from Jackson's soldiers during the roundup for the trail of tears.
I can listen to all that nonsense about persons entering the country illegally. . . .and then wonder if those persons realized that almost certainly - the ones who were here before the "new world" was colonized ever stopped to think about how all they needed were some words on paper to call "laws" to show the Euros that they were breaking laws, and should be locked up, detained, and shipped home.
Wesman,
There are Cherokees in my background so perhaps you and I are related ;-)
And here is some interesting information: The Mexicans and Central Americans are taking most of the heat for being illegal immigrants. However, here in NYC, there are thousands (and I mean thousands) of Irish illegal immigrants along with a whole lot of British, Australian, white South African, Canadian and Japanese illegal immigrants.
Gosh, there's an Irish Lady in Jersey 30 miles out of NYC. . . .who I think has a Visa. I'd marry her in a heartbeat, she's about my best friend. . . .despite the fact that I've never met her, I've got tens of thousands of hours worth of e mails over the years. . .BUT (you know this was coming). . .she says that she's gay.
~facepalm~
Oh well, there's still a girl up in Westfield that knows me better than anyone outside of my family :=\
Hey, see ya at the fam reunion!
Very good point,feenix. And very well written.
Quite a strong line of reasoning. Historic, well researched & informative. Thanks for this hub
Wesman,
You have a "thing" with a girl in Westfield? Well, I used to have a "thing" with a girl in Scotch Plains which is right next door to Westfield.
Hello, GNelson,
Thank you very much for your generous comment. And as it says somewhere in The Holy Bible, there is nothing new under the sun.
Hello, unbanichijioke,
First, I am very glad to have made your acquaintance.
And thank you very much for your encouraging comment -- and thank you for thanking me.
Definitely. Favorite person, really - brilliant Lady.
She wrote three hubs and then. . .I guess got tired of it.
It was somewhat that bad later on as well. Back when states had excessive power people were judged by their licence plates and accents. My parents came to Ohio in the 1950's and meet starch bigotry so they moved as close to the black neighborhoods as they could.
Mom and Dad always claim it had to do with the Irish heritage but I think that kind of hatred runs deeper than that. By the 1960's when I was alive and so was the civil rights movement we caught hell from both the Ohioans and the blacks.
Wow, Wesman, she strikes me as being a very hot and special lady.
Hello, Miles,
Right here in NYC where I live, a lot of the "Gentiles" hate Jews, a lot of people of Italian heritage hate people of Irish heritage and vice versa, a lot of Puerto Ricans hate people from the Dominican Republic and vice versa, and I could go on.
feenix: Things like this have taken place for hundreds of years. It will not stop. Right now today, it is the Muslim people from all around the world pushing their way into North America, not just the US. but Canada too, and they fit the pattern you mention to a tee.
But wait for it though because the Chinese are ready to make a similar push and they have the people the manpower and the money and arms, to take North America by force if need be.
Dave,
My first cousin is married to a Canadian fellow and they live in Vancouver, B.C.
Well, we communicate almost daily and she told me that back when the U.K. handed Hong Kong back to mainland China, Hong Kong Chinese started pouring into Vancouver and surrounding areas, and they have been arriving in droves ever since.
I am sure that I am not telling you anything that you do not already know.
Dave,
By the way, years ago, an author named John Hershey wrote a book entitled "White Lotus."
White Lotus is an American white girl, and the story is seen through her eyes. And what happens is, she is sent to China as a slave -- and that is made possible because China has conquered America and enslaved the country's entire population.
Thousands of years. We are infiltrated by an unarmed incursion on our southern border. Reconquista. We are infiltrated by our own laws, lawmakers, higher education, and across the private sector. Our economy isn't recovering the way it was projected to. Not just the menial jobs go to the illegals...middle America is also under siege. Construction trades, and management jobs are also being taken. Our top manufacturers are outsourcing to China (check out how many things you purchase that are not made here, many bearing American logos.) Ross Perot said "Sign NAFTA, and you'll hear a wooshing sound of our jobs goin' south!" and with the other trade agreements and the agenda of the WTO, the "American " way of life is going...going...gone. People say that the foundation of the U.S., the Constitution needs to go, or that it is obsolete, and deny that it is a living document, deemed unworthy because it invokes the Creator...well, so does Washington, D.C. and nearly every ediface of Government. Our desirable places are filling up, and the undesirable places are being sold at overvalued assessments. This country is in trouble...Big Time! Is it really time to let down our borders? Is it really time for us to let down our gaurd? This isn't the world of a hundred years ago, and the ultimate fall of Rome was due to the same factors that will lead to the dissolution of the United States. We are a melting pot, but to compare the controlled access to these shores which Ellis Island afforded (And I do realize that not everyone came here through Ellis) to the free for all that has been occurring on the Mexican border, including the fact that Mexico is embroiled in a "drug" war that has a casualty count nearing Viet Nam proportions, well, the comparison just seems odd. I dig what you say Feenix, but, I'm not as liberal.
feenix, this is one hub with which I have no dispute, as your professor, I give your paper an 'A'. I certainly do not like our current immigration policy and the failure of the Government to effectively deal with it. Your point of the universal characteritics of immigrants relative to long time residents is true regardless of the immigrant's point of origin or places in the U.S. where they relocate. The poor, being poor, display the same characteristics to those that are relatively more affluent. Regards and Aloha, Cred2
Druid Dude,
I am what some people call an optimist, but I am not an optimist at all. What I am is a man of faith. I know that no matter how wrong things go in this realm, they ultimately undergo corrections.
For example, several years ago, it was being broadcast all over the place that the BP oil spill would ruin the Gulf of Mexico forever. But you know, that gulf has nearly cleaned itself up. I have a number of relatives in southern Louisiana and they are fishing, crabbing and shrimping again, almost like nothing ever happpened.
Also, when the Great Depression occurred, many were predicting that marked the end of the U.S. and of capitalism. And here we are more than 80 years later, and the U.S. is still standing and capitalism still works.
I am not liberal at all. What I am is a faithful and conservative realist.
And aloha to you, Credence2,
Thank you very much for your generous comment, and you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Wait until you see the next hub I publish about immigration.
It is going to raise more than a few eyebrows ;-)
Feenix, I have an article in the hopper regarding this subject as well. as regarding your plans, I will stayed tuned!
Credence2,
Aye, aye, sir!
Great hub Feenix. Very interesting and informative.
I feel lucky to be born and live in Canada. I don't begrudge anyone wanting to live here and make a better life for themselves but they don't deserve special treatment. Our government gives it to them though.
Hello, Sueswan,
Thank you very much for the compliments. I really do apprecitate it.
And you are very fortunate to have been born in and live in Canada. It is a great nation and it the best neighbor and allie the U.S. could ever have.
Did I ever tell you that I have somewhat of a Canadian connection. Well, my first cousin has been married to a Canadian fellow for about 25 years and they live in Vancouver, B.C.
Later on this year, probably around Christmastime, my sister and I are going to pay them a visit and stay there for about a week.
Also, back in the early 1980's, I was stationed in Winnepeg by the company I worked for. I lived there for about six months but, presently, the name of the hotel I stayed in slips my mind. Later on, I will check my "keepsakes" in order to refresh my memory.
Hello Feenix,
One of my cousin use to live in Vancouver. I visited her in 1983. You could see the Rocky Mountains from her balcony.
So you have been to Winnipeg, also referred to as Winterpeg because of the cold winters.
I was born in Fort William, Ontario which became Thunder Bay in 1971.
Winnipeg is about 450 miles west of Thunder Bay.
I hope you and your sister enjoy your vist with your cousin and her husband.
Hi, Sue,
In fact, you can see the Rockies from my cousin's house and her husband is in the lumber business so they have a home out in the woods, too.
And part of the time I was stationed in Winnipeg, it was winter, and some of the snow drifts were almost two-stories high.
And Winnipeg is about 450 miles west of Thunder Bay, huh. So that would put Thunder Bay somewhere just north of Wisconsin, right?
As soon as you left California I had the message. I might say if not for two things I would agree about the comparison: 1) these people came here legally. 2) there was zero gubmint cheese back in those day, meaning they knew that before they got on the boat, that it was sink or swim. That knowledge makes for a whole different mindset than "If you can sneak across the border, those fools will support you for life!" :D
Great article though. I enjoyed it. Well written, good point made.
Hello, James,
Actually, I was not attempting to compare the immigration and migration of the groups discussed in this hub with the illegal Mexican immigraton that is taking place today.
I was merely citing one more example of "man's inhumanity to man."
Hi Feenix,
You are correct. Thunder Bay is just north of Wisconsin.

AH, The "Five Points" and the sharin' of what would otherwise have been denied to the Micks, the Wops, and the Jews. Can't forget the "Black Hand" down New Orleans way, and the Mormons, dressing up like indians to attack settlers crossing Mormon territory. The new blood is actually, predominantly Aztec, although they have had their share of white domination. Very good hub. Keep it up! Peace
