Immigrants did create the USA

Dear Jeff,

Greetings from myself.

News Flash : Steve Jobbs did have Syrian Islamic genes by the way running in his blood. How can you forget or even ignore it ? Without the presence of those genes in his body Steve Jobbs could not have achieved what he did achieve ? Do you have any other explanation to explain his success ?

Who built Harvard? Who built Stanford?

My explanation : Immigrants and refugees whose countries and cultures were ravaged were responsible for making those two masterpieces. Without immigrants' contribution there would be no Harvard or Stanford. Period.

Another Newsflash : Do you know who built the continental railway system in the US after the conclusion of the civil war ? It was the poor Chinese fleeing a then China ravaged by European imperialists. And remember at that time they were called "Yellow Perril" by anti-semites of the time whose progeny can be found in copious amounts in this forum.

Summary : Without the refugees and immigrants fleeing their ravaged nations there would be no USA today as you know it. So do you still want to push out the Syrian refugees ? Choice is yours.

Thanks and regards with best wishes

Debanjan
