22. They had no choice.
How would you have swum the Atlantic? I haven't a doubt in my mind that if there had been a land connection, it would have been the same situation. Even so, they were all looked down upon and suffered bigotry, each wave in it's turn. It made no difference and to many today, it still doesn't.

And not all immigrants that many are ranting against are working here illegally. Everyone has the right to survive and feed their family.
