The Ellis Island mythology was an attack on our culture, and our English roots.


In the beginning..."everyone was from somewhere else" = "land of immigrants"

2021...America is well established...by many generations of natural born citizens

We need to be wise about immigration for the sake of remaining "American"

And we're not being wise

No, everyone was from the British Isles. And the vast majority were English. The founders described themselves as Englishmen.

By the 19th century that had shifted, and we had a large population of Germans. And to this day, Germans are the second largest demographic, after English Americans.
