In response to a letter by Bill Davis about the caravan, I would like to ask him if he’ll open his door to strangers.
I was once an immigrant from Europe, back in 1950. Terrorism was unknown at that time, yet coming to the U.S.A., there was a quota. First, you have to apply to the U.S. Consulate, wait for a short period and, if you get approved, you are ready to go.
Coming to the States, you had to be sponsored, bring with you a health certificate and also a chest X-ray. You had to promise a job and not to be a burden to the state where you will reside; Detroit at the time.

I worked 30 years at Ford Motor Co. Coming to Arizona, I drove a school bus for 30 years in Fountain Hills, plus part-time jobs in between.
Was I a burden? I think I paid my dues. Welcome to all illegal immigrants.
