Apologies to all. I do not write political posts. I do not feel that I have the knowledge to properly present political arguments. (Not that half the pundits or politicians do either) It’s just not a game I want to be involved in.
But I will say that Immigration seems to have been a “bone of contention” for a long time.
Still when I was searching for some illustrations for my previous posts I ran across this political cartoon allegedly from the 1800’s. (I say allegedly because I don’t think ball caps & back packs were popular in the 1800’s)
If it really is that old, (After all you can believe it if its on the internet, right?) then all I can say is some things never change. Just look at this one from our time.
Don’t forget the Irish and the Germans either.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”
What happened to “Fresh Thinking?”
Well I’m off to visit Washington D.C. Seems appropriate that I divert from my no politics policy. Back soon!
Bravo 👏 on this post. I agree 100%. Have a safe trip to D.C.
Hi Roxana
Thank you. I always hesitate to write anything political but when I saw the cartoon I had to use it.
I was able to find good info from your content.
