Ellis Island Did Not Accept Unattended Children | National Review Online

For weeks the left have been spewing talking points about America and Ellis Island etc.. In fact from the article:


If immigrants had any of the diseases proscribed by the immigration laws, or were too ill or feeble-minded to earn a living, they would be deported. Sick children age 12 or older were sent back to Europe alone and were released in the port from which they had come. Children younger than 12 had to be accompanied by a parent. There were many tearful scenes as families with a sick child decided who would go and who would stay.

Unaccompanied children arriving here are being placed with their parents who are here in the US.

So they are no longer unaccompanied. They are being re-united with their parents.

apparently you didn't watch The Godfather II... Vito rolled off the boat at Ellis all by himself.

 

[regent]

Maybe House Republicans, instead of introducing bills to repeal Obama-care, should introduce a bill that forces all immigrants to come to America on ships?

calling BS on LGS again ...

From 1820 to 1920, more than 4 million people left their native shores of Ireland bound for the Port of New York and a new life in America. When Ellis Island officially opened on January 1, 1892, the first passenger registered through the now world-famous immigration station was a young Irish girl named Annie Moore. Just 14-years old and traveling with her two younger brothers, Anthony (11) and Phillip (7), Annie departed from Queenstown (County Cork, Ireland) on December 20, 1891 aboard the S.S. Nevada, one of 148 steerage passengers. The trio would spend 12 days at sea (including Christmas Day), arriving in New York on Thursday evening, December 31. They were processed through Ellis Island the following morning, New Year's Day and also Annie's 15th birthday. All three children were soon reunited with their parents who were already living in New York.

damn, proving LGS a liar is getting old.

The Know Nothing Party's entire reason for being was anti-immigration, particularly aimed at Irish and German Catholics.

It's too bad you can't just make up new laws to go with your President's lawlessness and reckless policies.

Let's point out your stupidity on two points:

Less than 2% of immigrants were returned to their home country and that was only after America adopted a closed door policy, prior to that immigration consisted of merely coming onto American soil.

The diseases that were communicable and untreatable during that time frame are no longer the threat to public health that they were.
Today we have these new thingies called vaccines and inoculations.

Text of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008
Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA 2000)

In the beginning of the 21st century, at least 700,000 people were reported as victims of international trafficking each year, 14,500–17,500 of which are women and children who are trafficked specifically into the United States. The International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates there are 20.9 million victims of forced labor, with other estimates using non-governmental sources of information estimating that even larger numbers face modern-day slavery in all its forms.2

Use your time for something more productive than posting a continual waterfall of b.s. threads...

Truth and facts:
Ellis Island - Medical examination

Where does it say the Irish Children and their families were immediately put back on a boat and shipped to Ireland because they had lice?


Please Lady G. Show us!!!!


Show us or admit your failure and self-ban from USMB. Your xenophobic and ignorant threads are just wasting space.

Do you honestly think that LyingGunSlinger would do that? Sorry...but it will never happen.

More FACTS:
President Theodore Roosevelt appoints a new commissioner of immigration, William Williams, who cleans house on Ellis Island in 1902. To eliminate corruption, he awards contracts based on merit and announces contracts will be revoked if any dishonesty is suspected. He imposes penalties for any violation of this rule and posts “Kindness and Consideration” signs as reminders to workers.
On January 1, 1892–her 15th birthday–Annie Moore from County Cork, Ireland, became the first person admitted to the new immigration station on Ellis Island. On that opening day, she received a greeting from officials and a $10.00 gold piece. Annie traveled to New York with her two younger brothers on steerage aboard the S.S. Nevada, which left Queenstown (now Cobh) on December 20, 1891 and arrived in New York on the evening of December 31. After being processed, the children were reunited with their parents, who were already living in New York.

Historians have calculated that despite a growing number of excludable categories, only about 2 percent of Ellis Island migrants failed to gain entry. In comparison, Chinese immigrants trying to gain entry through Angel Island by making use of the very few exceptions provided by the Chinese exclusion laws faced much more rigorous interrogation and isolation, and much lengthier detentions.

No laws have been broken (by liberals).

What about ignoring immigration, deportation and illegal immigration laws!

No laws have been written -- thanks to congress.

Secure Fence Act of 2006
Simpson-Mazzoli Act

Just to name two. The Demorats aren't any better at passing legislation of combat illegal immigration

 

[bendog]

sO, LGS wants to return to the immigration laws of the early 20th century!

Shame on the National Review - this is patently untrue and misleading.

"Who would go" = held in quarantine until they were healthy.


Get your facts straight.

You're calling the National Review liars? So sick and unaccompanied children were allowed to stay??

The law barring unaccompanied children was enacted in 1907.
