(18,124 posts)4270.00 and they are just starting to arrive. I really don't know how I will be able to pay on my fixed, not enough, retiree pay. Had enough for retirement, not to battle cancer. Who's was to figure?
They'll get it when I get it. Don't let them cause stress. Money is the god of many.

(53,550 posts)that contribute to our society. I've seen people come here with next to nothing and build businesses from scratch, with the whole family working long hours. They come from countries where opportunities are so limited, that they see things we don't. I can't even imagine coming to a strange country with different language and customs, and starting over again.
There is a woman in our very small town who did exactly that and was eventually able to bring a bunch of her family here. Two of her nieces are about to start med school.
I keep thinking I should write a book about her, but she probably wouldn't let me. She is now a quiet, hard-working, unassuming multi-millionaire, and still works her ass off.
Every time Dump starts talking "chain migration" I wanted to kick his teeth in. This family works harder every single day than any of the Dumps have ever worked in their lives.

(53,550 posts)being Trump married two immigrants, his mother was an immigrant, as were his grandparents. He talks about American history that his family took no part in, having been here a relatively short time. I'd be all for stricter immigration policies, if it would keep the likes of people like the Trumps out.

That's what's being destroyed by these angry overly white ignorant bigots in our Congress and White House.
We may not recover.
