Don’t Challenge People Who Own Books
Remember John Kelly saying that immigrants don’t assimilate well because they are uneducated, don’t speak English, and don’t have any skills.
Well, you know what comes next, right?
Jennifer Mendelsohn, looked up Kelly’s ancestry to prove to him and the rest of America that we all come from immigrants. Mendelsohn found out through a 1900 census bureau that Kelly’s great grandfather lived in America undocumented for 18 years and could not “read, write, or speak English.”
She adds —
The 1930 census shows those great-grandparents living with their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, one of whom was Kelly’s mother. John DeMarco had been here for 47 years and was not an American citizen (“AL”). Crescenza had been here for 37 years and spoke no English.
