text: You have a VERY odd take on history -- or do you just make up stuff as you type?  The majority of 19th-20th century immigrants were from Eastern Europe, Ireland, Italy, Scandinavia -- and many other countries that had horrific internal economic and political problems, famine, and offered no kind of employment or subsistence to their mostly uneducated but hard-working people.  (Or maybe YOUR ancestors had "great minds" and were "ambitious leaders."  The rest of the immigrants worked in steel mills, coke factories, sweatshops, built small businesses from long and hard labor, settled and farmed homestead land...) Do you think a "real Catholic" is xenophobic?
