> willing to accept this new kind of immigrant any longer. Back in
> 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the
> United States, people had to get off a ship and stand in a long
> line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on
> their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to
> uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad
> times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new
> American households and some even changed their names to blend in
> with their new home.

> > They had waved good bye to their birth place to
> give their children a new life and did everything in their power to
> help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed
> to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect
> them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had
> brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

> > Most of their children came of age when World War
> II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had
> come straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan .
> None of these first generation Americans ever gave any thought
