Lesson for Vice PresidentThis is a real history lesson for VP Harris.

Early immigrants from Europe were “legal” not illegal like those at our southern border.

My grandfather came to the US in 1903, from Italy. He left my grandmother and two children; she was expecting their third, with relatives. He wanted to have a home for them, a steady job and live the American dream. In 1905, she came with the children and she told me they were in a terrible storm at sea, and many on board were sea sick.

They settled in Boston, Massachusetts, and grandpa was a pipe fitter and was known as “Steamfit Tony” on his job. He retired at 65 years old reluctantly; he loved his job and working. He never missed Sunday Mass and he took all of us with him. We walked as he never owned a car. Our grandparent’s motto, “you don’t work, you don’t eat.”

Their first child, Uncle Frank, served in WWI and the two youngest in WWII. They flew our flag proudly. I never saw an Italian flag in our home. To this day, I don’t care to see one. In fact, I don’t know what it looks like.

Another fact, when they reached Ellis Island, they were checked, if they coughed or were sick, they were sent back to where they came from.

El Paso isn’t Ellis Island, VP. Study American History. You don’t seem American to me.

No Smoking GunWe don’t seem to have irrefutable proof or “smoking gun” that the COVID-19 virus escaped or was released from the Wuhan laboratory. But the circumstantial evidence is very strong.

Furthermore, substantial evidence indicates that by restricting domestic travel out of Wuhan, but not travel to America and Europe the virus was deliberately exported.

I will not buy ANYTHING made in China.

Thank you for letting me express my opinion.
