1882 - Alienation


Americans have spent over a century striving to slow-the-flow of immigrants into the United States.
The jaw-dropping irony of these efforts is, well… jaw-dropping. Noting the high probability that many of our ancestors were immigrants, it seems a tad odd that we might not be eager to welcome more individuals like us – that is to say, immigrants.
Oh well… life is complicated, and history-lessons – especially ones that remind us of our collective immigration behavior - beg to go unnoticed.
Of course, if you’re an alien, it’s a whole different ball game.  Americans will attack you, save the girl and protect the universe from your immigration efforts.
