So is there a "compare and contrast" documentary coming out comparing the Russian moon crash with this?

 

Good couple days for gravity.

Who gets more aid? Ukraine or Hawaii?

If Biden gets his way, Ukraine gets more than double. Sad but true

 

Ukraine went from a corrupt democracy that wasn't allowed to join NATO to the beacon of democracy overnight.

We should be spending that money to preserve democracy at home.  Seven million illegals since Joke took over. :rolleyes:

My grandfather's had to fight in a war to become citizens 

 

Maybe some of them could do a tour in Ukraine first?

"The New World's 'Golden Door' was, for some, a place of protracted anguish. While the immigration service efficiently channeled millions through Ellis Island's Main Building, countless others awaited their fates in the hospital and infectious disease wards on the south side of the island. Some recuperated sufficiently to enter America, but others were returned to their homelands."

 

"Once registered, immigrants were free to enter the New World and start their new lives. But if they were sick, they spent days, weeks, months even, in a warren of rooms. Some, like the tuberculosis ward, were open to the sea, where a gentle New York harbor breeze cleansed their lungs, improving their chances. Other rooms were solitary, forlorn places where the illness itself decided when to leave or stay. Most patients in the hospital or Contagious Disease Ward recovered, but some were not so lucky. More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island's half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there."

 

Ellis Island waylaid certain arrivals, including those likely to become public charges, such as unescorted women and children. Women could not leave Ellis Island with a man not related to them. Other detainees included stowaways, alien seamen, anarchists, Bolsheviks, criminals and those judged to be "immoral." Approximately 20 percent of immigrants inspected at Ellis Island were temporarily detained, half for health reasons and half for legal reasons

 

They screened them, turned away the bad. put the sick on boats in the harbor.  And There was not a monetary factor like our asylum package is now.

Yup.  And they did it legally.  My mom was a legal immigrant and is a Dem, and is pissed about all the illegals streaming across the border.
