<h2 style&equals;"text-align&colon; center&semi;">Immigration Then and Now Compared<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p style&equals;"text-align&colon; justify&semi;">Immigration then and now&comma; when compared&comma;

I am speaking of the early years of formation and settlement of the USA&period;  The term &&num;8220&semi;immigration now&&num;8221&semi; is self-explanatory relating to the current state of affairs&period;  The following letter was sent to me by e-mail and provides a very &&num;8220&semi;right on&&num;8221&semi;
