Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone here an immigrant?

One great grandfather emigrated from Wales. I have his permit allowing him to enter or leave Alaska, early 1900s Can’t remember. Everyone else was Before that. Far as I know.

Other than esoteric interest pointless. I’ve a lot of acquaintances and friends that are first or second gen Americans or spouses thereof. Almost to a man, they take more pride in this country than the soy boy fahgs quoting grandmas bible back to the mayflower.

Good deal.

Slovak here.
Came here in summer of 89, at age 10. Right before the communist curtain fell that winter.

It's funny, from my experience most times those that where not born here are greater Americans than the spoiled little brats that were born here.

One of the greatest Patriots on this site wasn't born here.

it's not as easy as it looks , very painful in the first few years,

I am, but most of you knew that. Came over in 60 (I was almost six) for a two week vacation with my mom and sister (my dad to follow) in August of 1960 and never went back. lost everything. My dad was being interviewed by Ernesto "Che" Guevara for a position in the new 'Administration". He literally went from Che's office to the airport literally leaving dinner on the table. Che was seen driving my Dad's Gull Wing Mercedes 300 SL around Havana after that and the next day, the great unwashed descended on our house and sacked it. My dad had some money at a NY bank and that is what we lived on for a while. now you know why I hate democrats

Must be because of the perspective they have versus that of the average whiney, spoiled libs.

Not sure about my mom's side, but my dad's grandfather is the most recent immigrant that I'm aware of. He came from England, into Canada and then into Wood County Ohio in the late 1800's. He eventually moved north and started reproducing and here we all are.

Supposedly, I have quite a few ancestors laid to rest in Wood County.

I'm a mighty whitey .

And yes, I was granted citizenship in 2000.

My wife left Sicily in 1994. She became a citizen of the US in 2010. The biggest reason she and her siblings came to America was to escape rampant fraud, corruption, and racketeering. She is appalled by the scam-demic mandated tyranny and election fraud we have seen in 2020. She says America will never recover if POTUS Trump does not remain in the White House.

A good friend of mine, now a US citizen as well, left Venezuela in the early 90's. He says that what is being seen in the fraudulent 2020 elections is the beginning of the end if the Biden admin takes over.... he saw it before in the country of his birth.

PRAY FOR JUSTICE PEOPLE.... between the tyranny of the scam-demic mandates and the widespread election fraud these United States is nearing the abyss. Sound dramatic? There have been many countries over time that have lost everything in a generation...I fear we, in the US are on the brink.

There are a bunch of Russian immigrants in Alaska. A friend who lives around some says they and their kids are pretty upset with how things in this country are going. They say it's trying to turn into the sort of thing they fled.

Pabucktail: I immigrated from the horrific, looney, liberal entity known as "taxington" (washington state) at age 50, when I retired to this glorious Big Sky Country!
NO comparison in those two worlds!
Been enjoying my decision to immigrate/migrate for 23 full years now.
God bless most of America.

My grandmother was a full blood Swede, her father, and uncles came from Sweden, "ya".

My maternal grandfather was the last immigrant to arrive. He naturalized in 1937. We are 6 gens deep now.

A bunch of Ukrainians as well, and don’t mix the two up.

The short time I worked on base as a civilian we had an Airman that immigrated from Kenya. He and his wife were from there and are probably two of the hardest working and American loving people I know. Next year he’s done with his AF enlistment and is going to train to be an airlines pilot. A lot of the American born we us treated him like crap, but he always had a smile on his face and knew he was going somewhere in life.

The democrats are cheating, lying, and thieving anti-American liberal socialist communist marxist politicians which need to be ostracized ASAP.

I'm first generation American. My mom was born in a small village outside of Prague in what was then Czechoslovakia, my dad is from an ever smaller place in what is now the Ukraine. We don't know much about where my dad's side came from before they were in the Ukraine, but my mom's mother's family kept detailed records. Before Czechoslovakia, they were in Spain for quite a while (their last name at the time was d'Aguilar) and before that they lived on the island of Rhodes. Before that? The assumption is that they were forced out of the middle east during the various conquests, but that's hard to prove (sorry, adherents of crazy theories about mafias and crypto-Jews). Both sides came to the US to escape persecution in their then-home countries.

Wait a minute......are your related to Elizabeth Warren?

My wife is an immigrant and naturalized citizen. And an argument to end immigration completely.

Might as well be, shortly after I was born here my mom got homesick so her and my American dad moved to England. Didn’t come back here until I was 13.
