Ironic, again, that Ronald Reagan was the father of the 'amnesty for illegal immigrants' program - converted nearly 3 million to US citizens that way, during his Presidency. The reason his program of reform failed, is that his own party made him strip out all the legislation that enforced the laws against the hiring of illegal immigrants, creating the situation today, where some of the Fortune 500 depend on illegal immigrants to keep their bottom lines healthy.
Immigration, like gay marriage, like abortion, is another fake wedge issue. Keeps us squabbling, so that no one notices that the money backers all want the same thing, to make more money at all costs. As long as there are emotional hot buttons to keep us distracted, the politicians will push them every time. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Merriam-Webster defines *Immigrant* as someone who comes to another country to set up residency. Massachusetts was not a country or state at the time of the first Thanksgiving. At some point it became a recognized colony of the crown. There was no immigration. No permission to enter into the area around Plymouth Rock and settle was needed. No laws were violated. There was no government. Perhaps from an indigenous point of view, there should have been! Look at what they lost, EVERYTHING!< As for the Immigrant's Day thing, it wasn't a rumor. They admit to it. Someone on that conference call, by invitation only and 99 chances out of a hundred were or was, an Obama supporter, made the suggestion, preposterous as it was. Anne, are you an Obama supporter? You didn't think it Preposterous. Did you? From: "awoelflebater@...

Just one more executive action to be rescinded January 29th 2017. But the Pilgrims were immigrants and apparently helped and welcomed by the indigenous peoples at the time who aided them in all sorts of ways and so 90 Natives and 53 Pilgrims spent 3 days celebrating the first harvest. Sounds like these immigrants were treated better than some other countries as treating the Syrians and why not call "Thanksgiving" "Immigrants Day"? I think, although it's a bogus rumor, that would be very apropos! LOL From: "awoelflebater@...
