To be fair, the arbitrary immigration laws weren't completely articulated . . . But, there is no denying that this town was built by a great many people who didn't have the proper documentation but worked to bring a small waystation town to nationwide prominence nevertheless.

Manheim Park block attracted immigrants in 1920s
When residents began moving into this Manheim Park block (from Troost to Forest between E. 43 rdand E. 44 th) in the early 1900s, many were new immigrants to this country. The 1920 census shows people who had recently come from Scotland, England, Germany, Sweden, and Italy settling into homes along with others born in the United States.
They would not have been illegal aliens. The first (Ku Klux Klan inspired) immigration act was not passed until 1924, and since it limited immigration to percentages of ethnicities already in the country in 1890, immigrants from these countries would have been easily admitted even after the act was passed.

ReplyDeleteThis article is absolutely pointless. Comparing whites to people of color is suppose to do what????? And comparing 1920-1940 to today is suppose to mean what????? Absolutely nothing you can't compare any of this except to cause more division and lawlessness! We have laws you either abide by them or you leave it's simple! Oh and all people in the 20's and 40's worked! America is not a free ride!
You don't think illegal aliens work? They work harder than Americans and most current whites. Also cheaper, faster and better.
ReplyDeleteYou want to save money? never hire a lazy white man to do a job an illegal can do better.
@7:13-Your post was retarded. Are you retarded or just really, really, old? I would take 100 illegal aliens or one person like you any day. God, I hope you enjoy hell, cause you're about as Christian as our President.
ReplyDeleteCan someone tell Mary Jo it's 2019 not 1920?
ReplyDeleteEven an idiot fuck like Lee Wood knows that forcing in low quality, low intelligence people across our border weakens this nation. He is just too much of a coward to admit it.
ReplyDelete^^No it doesn't. We have plenty of those people(You!) here already and we're fine. Just read the blog, you see them in action all day.
ReplyDelete^^Truth. If immigrants want to come here and take the jobs citizens don't want to do or can't do, more power to them. They pay taxes on those earnings and get no benefits from those taxes beyond using roads and having access to police/fire etc.
ReplyDelete8:22 do you really hold such a misguided opinion or are you just too afraid of being called a racist if you dont conform to the mainstream lefty ideology? The pendulum will swing the other way eventually. This degeneracy the left is pushing is not sustainable. Pick a side because if not, you and scum like you will be the first up against the wall when this country embraces nationalism again.
ReplyDelete^^^ truth
ReplyDeleteI find nowhere in the article that says the immigrants in the featured neighborhood were in the country illegally. Headline writer on drugs again?
ReplyDeleteTony doesnt do drugs. He probably one-handed it because hes busy whacking off to Stalder.
ReplyDelete@8:28AM, I'll be your huckleberry. I'll pick whatever side you're not on. How's that? Just me and whatever band of misfit, fat, balding, dickheads you can round round up. I'll be doing the country a favor ridding it of vermin like you.
ReplyDeleteKeyboard tough guy on the case!
DeleteYou ever seen the left try to fight? Bring on those skinny jeans, purple hair, and safe spaces.
Can't wait.
Feel good about that post? Idiot faggot. You should run out into traffic.
DeleteI'm not sure why the immigration debate always devolves into skin color. Just because someone wants an effective and humane immigration system doesn't mean they don't like people of color. They are probably more compassionate than those favoring open borders. Which plan sounds more humane - forcing families, women, and children to live in the shadows of our country as second class citizens because they trek across the border into a system unable to accept them or a system in which people come here in an orderly fashion, accepted at the border, given legal status, and able to be incorporated into our country on day 1.
ReplyDelete^^Yes, I've seen them smash geezer skull. You seen the right??:? Rush Limbaugh types..all of them. Heaving, humping hogs! It's going to be fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming. You will see.
Delete^^^^ If you're coming. Nobody wants to see that. Put it in a sock and top bothering people!
ReplyDeleteAs for the immigrants.
Before 1920 there were not many immigration laws. Which means that most of the Irish and the pollacks in KC are bloody hypocrites IF they are against illegal immigration. Truth is , most of them don't give a fig one way or another.
When you live next to people who see that they're just people and the vast majority of the immigrants are all right.
A lot of the hysteria is just losers trying to get a political win by making people hate one another.
8:57 so you admit to being a part of the violent left huh? It is the way of your kind since you can’t put a complete sentence that makes sense together, I’m betting you went to kcps where education was brushed aide and violence is taught as the answer to everything. You’re a violent racist lying bastard.
ReplyDeleteYeah there's nothing to suggest immigrants in the 1920s were here illegally and that's the the tactic, to try and muddy the issue. No one's against legal immigration. They're against illegal immigrants and that's an example of how liberal arguments are all based on a strawman foundation.
ReplyDelete^^and yet they're not, and the only exercise you get is jumping to idiotic conclusions. Weird.
ReplyDeleteYou should really consider suicide as a treatment for your mental health condition. It would be cheaper and much less of a hassle for everyone that has to be around you.
DeleteThe immigration laws are racist.
ReplyDelete^^^Explain if you can how this country's immigration laws do not apply to Europeans the same as they apply to whatever-your-definition-of-race-is people.
ReplyDeletehahahah look at that faggot at 11:46 with some clunky cringe comment
ReplyDeleteJan. 11, 2018: Trump said, "Haiti? Why do we want people from Haiti here?" Then they got Africa. Why do we want these people from all these shithole countries here? We should have more people from places like Norway."
ReplyDeleteToo bad we picked up a German pretending to be a Swede who wasn't even welcome in his own country.
8:57, yep, we've seen the right. They smashed that window out of your illegal meegrunt friend's car and got that bad hombre mofo on a quick flight back to Meh-hee-co!
