My grandfather crossed the ocean from Italy when he was 16 years old with less than $10 in his pocket. He arrived at Ellis Island greeted by Lady Liberty. I was proud to show a copy of his entry record to Prime Minister @GiorgiaMeloni as a reminder that our friendship runs deep.

If your grandfather tried to immigrate here (legally) today, he’d get denied instantly. Get your head out of your ass.

Betcha your grandfather didn't have a visa and entered US without permission.

Maybe remember your grandfather as you address the southern border.

Got it! Your family got in but no room for anyone else to immigrate to the U.S.

Good thing noone had filled the harbor with razor wire.

Good thing he didn’t encounter razor wire or get pushed back into the water by hateful immigration agents.

My family was native to this country. Then they were forced to live on reservations.
