I’m just going to start asking my family for their papers.
“I was born here!”
Doesn’t matter any more, your orange puppet-king said so.
“My parents were born here!”
See above. Got proof? No? So sorry.
“Something something Ellis Island!”
Yeah, that’s the story that everyone tells themselves. More likely that it was just a random boat at a random port (or beach) and your vaunted ancestors just started… you know, living here.
I know how my family got here back in the day and my relatives know too and yet a bunch of them still voted for the evil cheeto.
3 brothers got on a boat from Ireland during the Potato Famine, 1 died on the way over. 1 stayed on the East Coast and the other, struck with wanderlust, went out West.
I’m descended from the wanderlust brother.
They didn’t go through Ellis Island, they were stowaways.

Papers, please.
ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS?
I CAN’T TELL
Straight up this
I know how my family got here back in the day and my relatives know too and yet a bunch of them still voted for the evil cheeto.
3 brothers got on a boat from Ireland during the Potato Famine, 1 died on the way over. 1 stayed on the East Coast and the other, struck with wanderlust, went out West.
