Everyone can’t be an American…. The concept of being "able-bodied" was a significant factor in the immigration process at Ellis Island . Here's why and how: 1. Medical Inspections: Immigrants were subjected to medical exams to identify and prevent the entry of contagious diseases that could endanger public health. Doctors looked for conditions like trachoma (a serious eye infection), tuberculosis, and others, that could limit an immigrant's ability to work or contribute to society. Those with serious illnesses were sent to the Ellis Island Hospital, with the hope that most would recover and be allowed entry. However, if a condition was deemed incurable or posed a public health risk, it could lead to deportation. 2. Public Charge Considerations: Beyond medical issues, immigrants also had to demonstrate that they were "unlikely to become a public charge," meaning they wouldn't require government assistance. This assessment included considering an immigrant's physical condition and whether it would hinder their ability to work and support themselves. 3. The "Six-Second Exam": Doctors developed quick, observational methods to assess immigrants as they passed through the processing areas. They looked for signs of physical weakness, limitations in movement, or any other indicator of a health issue that might make an immigrant undesirable. 4. Focus on Work Capacity: The system was designed, in part, to select immigrants who could contribute to the nation's industrial needs. Conditions that might limit a person's capacity to perform unskilled labor, such as varicose veins, hernias, or deformities, were among those considered for exclusion. In summary: While Ellis Island is often remembered as a symbol of welcoming immigrants, it also served as a filter, and being able-bodied was an important factor in the inspection and selection process.

I love it when they get called out….

I like this guy.

Newsom wants to be arrested, just like Padilla and the idiot woman at the ICE detention center in NJ. It’s a martyr ploy…..a news clip they can show when asked what have they done.

Israelis are born in a camo outfit and with an uzi. I wonder how much radioactivity is released by bombing a uranium enriched site. Just saw that the U.N. Security council is meeting today. They will condemn Israel…ya think?

But, but, but…. This doesn’t deserve a response. Talk to Pelosi.

People are attacking police and looting stores and you’re worried about a boycott. I don’t do WalMart so it’s a non-issue.

Cnn has it now. Still no copy/paste

Fox News is the only one with the story but I can’t copy/paste. Anyone else?

Peaceful protests require riot masks? This is all a funded riot, not protests. Oh yeah, they caught this one. [Hidden Content]

Ever heard of Padilla before now? That’s what I thought. 15 minutes of fame……martyrdom. It was planned.

People get released from jail and prison everyday. First thing they have to do is find work. Someone has to give them a break. Surely he can do better than the innocent people running the Louisiana prison. So my answer is …..I don’t care that he has a record. Some businesses hire from halfway houses and get some kind of break out of it.

You’re crying to the wrong person. Call your congressman. He’ll fix it. This thread is about the pos Garcia.

Gee, I was trying to stay in topic. As far as drug offenders go, wasn’t Hunter Biden doing coke in the White House? I’d rather have the drug smuggler running the prison. At least he’s in prison for 8 hours a day. It’s the reason I wouldn’t want to be a jailer.

She fired her manager instantly and said Trump stole the election. Trump says the Biden election was rigged and somehow that’s criminal. Libs….. I find it comical that a law officer is calling out a fellow officer for following Trump. Trump wants law and order so I would think an officer would be all for that. Garcia is a pos and everyone knows that. He has been previously arrested and charged. Seems to me that an officer would be ecstatic that the judiciary has his back. Must be frustrating to put your life on the line making arrests only to have the perp either not prosecuted, or be dismissed by a crummy judge. Seems you libs always pick one instance to harp on in order to push the true agenda of keeping illegals here for a potential voting base never considering all the real American’s rights being trampled in the process. Really?

Peña stealing 3rd…..3rd baseman has to jump over Peña to field the ball thrown by the catcher. That’s pure speed.

Hopefully these bats stay alive thru Friday.

Thanks. It was pot luck when we bought tickets. I’ll have fun anyway.

I will be at Friday’s game vs. the Twins. Can’t be sure, but I think I will get to see Brown on the mound. Win or lose, I will enjoy the trip.

They have reached an agreement but XI hasn’t “signed off” on it just yet.

Trump and XI (eleven to me) have an agreement. Let’s see how the markets react in about 10 minutes.
