Father's side came from Ireland in early 1900s, yeah potato niggers, but didn't slum out in the cities - went and farmed the midwest, integrated into 'merica, generation by generation grew more prosperous, eventually they didn't all farm but some became tradesmen, then served in WW2, got college education, the kids grew up suburban and never needed to rely on their bodies for work, and now me/us... trying to get back what was lost.

Dude that is a normal immigrant. The ones you want who BUILD a nation. Potato niggers are white to me.

My wife's family fled civil war in their home country. They literally left with just their passports and the clothes on their backs. While they waited for a country to accept them they (2 adults and 4 kids) lived in a one room shed on the property of a distant relation and did odd jobs for food. My wife and her sister, both still in their teens, had 2 jobs each on the second day they arrived in their new country. Not only were they actual refuges but the govt. didn't give them a penny to help them adjust in their new home. By the time their father retired he owned clear a nice acreage outside of town.

The furthest back we could trace on my mother's side, came over with the French Fur traders, long before there were a full 13 colonies.

The furthest back on my dad's came over on the Mayflower. Another came over during the French and Indian War to fight.... the French and Indians. Survived the Braddock Expedition, and served with Washington for the rest of the war. Then, once the American Revolution started, he signed right back up with Washington again.

Family of farmers on both sides until my parents, and I plan to get back into it. My family built this country from nothing. Welfare was a strong back.
