Chronic Incivility: Is It Time To Divide The United States Into Two Separate Nations - One For Red States, And One For Blue States?

https://newsfrombarbaria.blogspot.com/2021/07/chronic-incivility-is-it-time-to-divide.html

Part of our decision whether to opt for separation of the United States of Barbaria into two separate nations hinges on the fact that that our acquiescence to the status quo puts our tax dollars to work -- your money and my money -- to support a ruthless Global Gangster State headed by Trump, Putin and Netanyahu.

As Charlie Kirk would say:
"Prove me wrong."
Queridos

A couple of observations...

Coming to the United States legally does not bestow any particular goodness or virtue upon immigrants.

Indeed, back in the days of indiscriminate immigration (i.e., prior to 1924 when documents were first required), it seems to me that a strong case can be made that huge numbers of undocumented Irish, Polish and Italian immigrants to the United States were particularly notable for their hard work, religiosity and close-knit, interdependent family ties.

It seems to me that subsequent generations of immigrants are more likely to go bad. Al Capone is an egregious case in point. (See my postscript for more info on immigrants to America.)

I will also mention my rock-solid conviction that any individual with an evident admixture of Native American blood is entitled to reside anywhere in the New World which, in fact, our European ancestors stole from the natives, deliberately perping genocide in the process.

AI Overview
Many American gangsters were the children of immigrants, while others were immigrants themselves, drawn to crime by poverty or the lure of quick money
. Prominent examples include Italian-American figures like Al Capone, who was born to immigrant parents in Brooklyn, and Lucky Luciano, a key figure who was originally an immigrant from Italy. Other examples include Jewish gangsters such as Meyer Lansky, who was of Polish-Jewish heritage, and Irish-American leaders like Mickey Duffy, a Polish immigrant's son who ran liquor supply lines. 
Italian-American gangsters
  • Al Capone: Born in Brooklyn to recent Italian immigrants, he rose to power in Chicago during Prohibition, as described by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
  • Lucky Luciano: A member of the Five Points Gang, Luciano went on to lead the modern American Mafia.
  • Carlo Gambino: A major crime boss known as "Don Carlo" and "The Godfather," he became a powerful figure in New York's organized crime.
  • The Morello Crime Family: An early example of an Italian crime organization that operated on the New York City waterfront, notes Wikipedia. 
Irish-American gangsters
  • Paul Kelly: The founder of New York's Five Points Gang, which initially had a strong Irish membership but later included many Italian-Americans.
  • Mickey Duffy: A son of Polish immigrants who became a prominent figure in the illegal liquor trade in New Jersey during Prohibition.
  • Hymie Weiss: A Polish-American mob boss who became a leader of the North Side Gang and a rival to Al Capone. 
Jewish-American gangsters
  • Meyer Lansky: An associate of Lucky Luciano and a notorious gangster of Polish-Jewish descent.
  • Arnold Rothstein: A prominent figure who transformed organized crime into a big business.
  • Benny Fein: A Jewish-American mobster who became involved in labor racketeering. 
Other immigrant groups
  • Polish-American organized crime: During Prohibition, Polish-American gangs, such as the one led by Joseph Filkowski in Cleveland, capitalized on the illegal liquor trade.
  • Purple Gang: A Detroit-based gang whose members were mostly American-born children of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland.
  • The Innocents: A group of Sicilian immigrants in New Orleans who were involved in politics and crime.
