Sure it is when you state things like the following.

This was something added later but yet the left repeats it and points to it,
with two pointed index fingers one from each hand as they attempt to
politicize it's meaning and to create shame among people like me who truly
understand that it has nothing to do with immigration or politics.

True but most knew a trade, my Family came from Hamburg, Germany and settled

There is a "Yuge" difference, between those people who came to Ellis Island to
be processed and then granted access into our country to make a better life for
themselves and their families, my ancestors were among the tens of thousands of
people who all had the same American dream. They were not looking for a handout
nor were they looking to be used by the Democratic Party as pawns as a means to
hold on to political power, with the likes that is seen today for example.
Giving out benefits and free goodies as if they were candy.  Also in the crowd
from Ellis Island was the Great Grandfather to Donald Trump and just look at
what that family has been able to accompli$h.

The only way the migrants - south of the border that you as well as others
are so compassionate about would be similar to the folks who came to America
via Ellis island is if they were to get in line to become citizens, the correct
way.  Instead of sneaking into the country after a long trek north. Somehow
that does not seem to qualify as being the same generation that came to America
via Ellis Island, many of them from south of the border do bring crime, but the
left never wants to bring up those facts, but they have no problems talking
about a crazed Christian who from time to to time goes off the rails, who was
never really a Christian in the first place. They also seem to be fond to
discussing The Crusades of the medieval period, lots of bloodshed there too. 
It does not matter the left sometimes makes it up as they go along, with
world wide attention to their tall takes such was the case with the bought and
paid for the fake Russian Dossier, and called it Russian Collusion.
Recently  it was discovered that there is NO intel to support support such a
allegation. (sounds about right and accurate. Made up just like I have been
saying.

They might appear to me to more human to me and even gain a bit of 
understanding and even be compassionate to their cause. 
If they did not violate U.S. Sovereignty.
