Benito Mussolini telling immigrants to ‘make America great’

Guess what goes around comes around ! 

BTW, this was reported by Fox News service at the time. 

As ANOTHER comparison to today, As the number of Italians coming to the United States increased, so did tensions with those already here. In 1920, The Washington Post editorialized for new constraints on immigration from Southern Europe, saying that "the alien scum from the cesspools and sewers of the Old World has polluted the clear spring of American democracy."

Hmm, yes history truly DOES REPEAT ITSELF !

Yes, sadly we have a long history of being conflicted about immigrants and the adherence to our own ideals

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
