But a child that has traveled thousands of miles is turned away. Have we forgotten our values and what is written on Miss Liberty. Prior to 1924 people just loaded up on boats and showed up here with no paperwork but of coarse they were from Europe.

In the 20s, wasn`t the US Government encouraging immigrants to come to the US, even giving them "free" land to farm, to help expand the countries population? Don`t think anybody feels that the US needs to be giving away land anymore.

I don’t know at all how you can compare what was 100 years ago with today's events. Then the living conditions were different, and the prospects were different, and the possibilities. And now they have thrown bureaucracy to discourage corruption and thereby raised corruption to a new level.

these people need to come to the country legally and pay their way, not me paying their way

Housekeeper is Molley Maids and is bonded. The rest invoice me and are paid by check i.e. pool guy, gardners.

Ed, your life is too complicated for me at my age....coordinating pool boys, Molly maids, gardeners, sail boat detailers......

I have a dry erase board that I write down one planned activity for the following day. (PTSD). That gives me one activity to focus on in bed. Tomorrow, it is vacuum the pool.

My wife is still working, the fees for the pool and yard are minimal. The boat gets detailed every 5 years. It just frees up our time to do other things like enjoying visiting family and travel. We have worked out butts off to get to this point in life. Gary it does free up time to work with a number of veteran organizations in helping Veterans that need a hand up.
