The document above granted United States citizenship to a German
immigrant named Matthias Moskopp, and it was handed down to his descendants. It
was one of his prized possessions.
I can only imagine the sense of pride, gratitude, and
reverence that this man felt when he recited his first Pledge of Allegiance [correction: the Pledge was not made until 1942. In 1903, the applicant would have recited the Oath of Allegiance.] This man was my great-grandfather. And he would have been horrified at the
illegal immigration that we are all trying to stop.
According to NumbersUSA, Congress is inching toward putting
amnesty back on the legislative agenda (Update here). NumbersUSA VP Jim Robb reported yesterday
that only 5 more GOP representatives were needed to fulfill the requirement for
the discharge petition, which would increase the risk of a vote on amnesty that
most Americans do not want.
