Statements Concerning Immigrants ‘Not True’

March 24, 2025 Editor, The News-Gazette When I hear the current administration talk about the “dangerous immigrants” coming across the U.S. borders, I question this statement. My grandparents on my mother’s side came to the United States around 1914. They left their home, a small village outside of Kiev, and traveled here because it was dangerous at the time in their country for them … being Jewish. They left their home and family hoping for a safer, better life. They came to America with few possessions and very little money. They lived with relatives, found jobs, and worked hard to make a better life for themselves and eventually for their future family.
