For centuries. Thank Goodness. If it weren’t I wouldn’t be here. Both my great grandfathers immigrated in the 1890s. It’s akin to saying Roth IRAs are out of control.

I recall about 15 years ago, “Patriots” in Georgia scared off immigrants for some alleged slight. Then the “Patriots” were whining later in the year when all the produce was rotting on the vine.
