Itzl Alert Network: Tuesday, 8th of October, 2024: Immigrants [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-10-07 A woman named Emma Lazarus wrote a poem called, The New Colossus. My caption is a small part of that poem. en.wikipedia.org/… She wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World).[2] In 1903, the poem was cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal's lower level. In more recent times, Niel Diamond recorded this song: All about immigrants. But then, in more recent times Donald Trump said a few things: However, except for Native Americans, (who have been here for at least 10,000 years,) we are all immigrants, if we go back just a few generations. For some folks, they do not need to back so far. Let’s look into that. The little dog is named Itzl. As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at, to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off Daily Kos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on Daily Kos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group!

He was the father of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. So, the father of Donald Trump was the son of immigrants. en.wikipedia.org/… The mother of Donald Trump was an immigrant. en.wikipedia.org/… The wife of Donald Trump is an immigrant. en.wikipedia.org/… The wife of J. D. Vance is the daughter of immigrants. Immigrants from India. (The mother of Kamala Harris was an immigrant from India.) en.wikipedia.org/… Harris's father, Donald J. Harris,[6] is an Afro-Jamaican who arrived in the United States in 1961, also enrolling in UC Berkeley and specializing in development economics. Is? Wikipedia is careful to say, “was” after a person is deceased. Kamala’s father is still alive: en.wikipedia.org/… en.wikipedia.org/… Immigrants, in so many branches of so many family trees! Ha! en.wikipedia.org/… Elon Reeve Musk FRS (/ˈiːlɒn/; born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and investor Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, Trump seems to like this particular immigrant. I wonder why. en.wikipedia.org/… Ronald Dion DeSantis (/dɪˈsæntɪs, diː-/; born September 14, 1978) is an American politician serving since 2019 as the 46th governor of Florida. Ronald Dion DeSantis was born on September 14, 1978, in Jacksonville, Florida, to parents Karen DeSantis (née Rogers) and Ronald Daniel DeSantis. His middle name, Dion, honors the singer Dion DiMucci,[3] and his family name has different pronunciations.[4] His mother's family name, Rogers, was chosen by her grandfather (née Ruggiero) upon immigrating from Italy.[5][6][7] All of DeSantis's great-grandparents immigrated from Southern Italy[a] during the first Italian diaspora.[13] His parents and all of his grandparents were born and grew up in Western Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio.[3] Italian immigrants. All of his great-grandparents were Italian immigrants. en.wikipedia.org/… Rafael Edward Cruz (/kruːz/; born December 22, 1970) is an American politician and attorney serving as the junior United States senator from Texas since 2013. Born in Canada. So, is Ted Cruz an immigrant? His mother was born in the USA, and I am not an immigration lawyer. Back to J. D. Vance: Between 2016 and 2017, he served as a principal at Peter Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital.[41][42] en.wikipedia.org/… Thiel was born in Frankfurt am Main, West Germany, on 11 October 1967, to Klaus Friedrich Thiel and his wife Susanne Thiel.[15][16] The family emigrated to the United States when Peter was one year old and lived in Cleveland, Ohio, where his father worked as a chemical engineer.[17] Klaus worked for various mining companies, which created an itinerant upbringing for Thiel and his younger brother, Patrick Michael Thiel.[18] Thiel's mother became a U.S. citizen, but his father did not.[16] Thiel eventually became a U.S. citizen as well.[19] Someone here at Daily Kos stated that J. D. Vance has been working for Peter Thiel since 2016. So, according to that theory, an immigrant is promoting Vance forwards, into power, if he can do it. Okay! By February 2022, Thiel was one of the largest donors to Republican candidates in the 2022 election campaign with more than $20.4 million in contributions. He supported 16 senatorial and congressional candidates, several of whom were proponents of the falsehood that there was significant voter fraud in the 2020 election. Two of said senatorial candidates (Blake Masters and JD Vance) were also tech investors who had previously worked for Thiel.[121] In 2023, Barton Gellman of The Atlantic wrote in an article interviewing Thiel that Thiel "has lost interest in democracy" and that "he wouldn’t be giving money to any politician, including Donald Trump, in the next presidential campaign".[122] Thiel has his own political-action committee, Free Forever, which is committed to supporting political candidates who support stricter border control, restrictive immigration policy, funds for veterans, and anti-interventionist foreign policy, among other things.[123][124] Peter Thiel, an immigrant himself, wants stricter border control. Okay. Well, I got a little more free food from my immigrant neighbors next door. Ha! Hugs to all, including all the immigrants. Hugs.
