I am writing in regard to a Feb. 19 letter to the editor, “A Dreamers Tale.”
I think it’s great that his great-grandfather came here at age 4.
I just wonder if on their entering the U.S., did they have a stop at Ellis Island?
Or did they jump off the ship and swim to shore in the dark of night?
Hence the words legal and illegal.
My guess is they checked in and gave their names and where they were from and where they were going to go.
By his comparison, a person goes into a bank and gets some money by one of two ways.
Fill out a loan application or stick a gun in the teller’s face.
They both accomplish the same thing, it’s just that one is legal and one is illegal.
It is amazing how two letters change the whole meaning of the story.
