    John Kelly's great-grandfather, John DeMarco, is listed in census records as a day laborer who still did not speak English 18 years after coming to America. His wife still had a “No” in the “Speaks English” category 37 years after her arrival. https://thebea.st/2GcDih5

        Do people really think thugs are expected to keep track of people they arrest? That is now how Fascism works. Think "disappearance".

        Why is it John Kelly's fault his great grandparents didn't speak English? Was he supposed to teach them?

        Replying to @AmandaPSiegel @johnlegend

        The shame is not that his great grandparents didn't speak English, but that he would basically say that people like his great-grandparents don't belong in this country.

        He can't help that his great grandparents were not English speakers but he is trying to hold 21st century immigrants to a different standard. One I disagree with but will not shame him for.

        That’s the point. Despite not speaking English surely his grandparents added value to this country as will today’s non English speaking immigrants. And no one is missing the fact that these “new standards” coincide with large #s of brown immigrants trying to come to our country.

        As I noted, I disagree with Kelly's standard (see above or other tweets I've liked); but not every standard from 100 years ago should be applauded today. It's a bad standard prima facie, not because Kelly's ancestors came here not knowing English.

        Right, but this country has a particular pattern of applying new standards when POC have the opportunity to benefit from a program. Did the same w welfare and social security.

        Since our constitution is hundreds of years old now and there are large factions that will argue we have to follow exactly what the founders intended despite the inherent flaws, we have to be litigating who this convenient change in standard benefits and who it marginalizes.

        John Kelly and Neilson are both on the brink of resigning...they just love separating children from their parents too much to give up the job.

        Shame on John Kelly. But not shame on his great-grandparents who crossed an ocean and took on a foreign land to afford their offspring an opportunity to rise to great heights... like say, General.

        John Kelly has no shame.... Never forget how he treated Representative Frederica Wilson and a Gold Star Widow.

        John Kelly has demonstrated again and again that he has no sense of shame. Entitlement? Arrogance? Racism? Bigotry? Sexism? He's got all that. Shame? Not a trace.
