I guess DU-member
honest.abe forgot the "nation of immigrants" line DUmmies love to parrot in talk of
illegal immigration.
If it weren't for double standards ...
BTW, my grandparents and their older daughter were Volga Germans (the rest of their children being born in the US). I've been told that my grandfather spoke two dialects of German, Russian, and English. My aunt, who was a preschooler when she came to the US, has some hassle in the 1950s over whether she really was allowed to vote (she was naturalized when her parents were, and had been voting, unquestioned and in the same town, for about 3 decades).
A further useless fact, while the US was fighting the War of 1812, Russian settlers were in California at what is now called Fort Ross. The colony was used for the fur trade and to grow food for Russia's Alaska colonies. There are descendants of those Russians still in California, and some were still speaking Russian into the 20th Century.
Have at least some DUpipo descended into
Slavophobia?
