Yes, America is/was a land of legal immigration such as my father/grandfather and relatives who came in the front door at Ellis Island.
No handouts given. Had to start working the mines of Scranton, PA ( didn’t Biden work the mine too?) before moving on to better jobs. No handouts, no free medical, no free hotels and food, no debit cards.
Not the same as today’s illegal crossing the southern border. If you can’t figure that out, you’re hopeless.
