Many of the men stayed in the camp because there was nowhere for them to go. I was six years old when the war started for us, and now I was nine. My parents had eight children, and we all survived.

Needless to say I am sick and tired of these gutless politicians demagoging a topic and then pandering to a constituency, crying that all they are here for is to do the jobs Americans won’t do, and that they boost the economy.
