Well, speaking for my own ancestors, they came because Europe was antisemitic and persecuting the Jews.
They came legally through Ellis Island - poverty-stricken, uneducated, and not speaking the language. By the next generation, their kids were all in college.
America is a wonderful opportunity for people who respect our laws.
And if people like you had been in charge back then, they'd have been sent back to Europe.
