10. Another retort of mine is..."And where did your people come from before they came to the United States?"

Both of my Grandfathers were foreign born. My maternal great-grandparents came from near Florence, Italy. My late husband's paternal grandparents were from Palermo, Sicily. His maternal great-grandparents from the UK and Germany.

We can all trace our ancestral linage to 2 to 3 generations of immigrants who came from somewhere else in the world to seek a better life in the United States. For anyone to say, "If you do not like living here(the USA), then move somewhere else" does NOT understand the reasons why their ancestors came here, rather than stay in the countries of their birth.

You cannot sure STUPID!
