I got a notification mail from Quora as usual, though I didn't find the question and subject of discuss interesting from the mail, I just reluctantly opened it.

See question below an American asked and the quality of answers he received from his fellow American.
Please read and be encouraged.


Question:
Whether people admit it or hide it, isn't Trump absolutely right that ordinary Americans are now sick of African, Mexican, and Indian immigrants migrating to the USA and stealing jobs from American citizens?

Answer: As probably the last of the American born white dishwashers in the City of New York who did that to support himself as a young high school student some time in the last century I can tell you they sure aren't stealing jobs from anyone. I was usually the only person born in the United States and often the only native English speaker in the kitchen and I never worked harder in my life doing 12 hour shifts. My immigrant co-workers were awesome. They did that six days a week and they took every penny home so their kids could eventually go to college along with me. When I see a Mexican guy leave a restaurant after midnight, tired, beat down and ready to get on the subway for over an hour to get a few hours sleep so he can turn around and do it all over again I don't see a thief. I see a hero.

These guys bring their labor, their incredible work ethic and their talents to enrich my country. I think they need to come legally sanctioned with a visa stamped in their passport but they aren't stealing. They are giving all they got.

The talents immigrants bring are also quite significant. You look at our 19th and early 20th century buildings and infrastructure in my home town you see the work of Italian stonecarvers, the innovative work of the Gustavino tile makers, the incredible engineering of German engineers in our bridges and water delivered so reliably and with gravity alone through tunnels built by Irish sand hogs. Immigrants. They build things to last.

My great-grandfather, a refugee from Russia, introduced the automobile to the Bronx. His business was horses. He didn't bitch when the car came in, he innovated, probably because he was an immigrant. We have people born here who complain coal jobs are going away while the children of immigrants are at MIT learning how to design wind turbines. Elon Musk, an immigrant, is making electric cars, powerful batteries and just launched the biggest rocket since the Saturn V, itself built and designed by immigrants. Immigrants and their kids get things done. They create entire industries.

They make significant scientific discoveries. My public high school alone has more Nobel prize winners than most countries and their parents were poor immigrants. One high school. You look at what made America a science and technology powerhouse it's the single biggest factor bar none.

"Stealing jobs?" Immigrants made America great to begin with. You think those Nigerian doctors, nurses and Indian engineers aren't making us great now? Go to a hospital. Use the Internet. It's them. You better hope an immigrant is in your emergency room when you get there.

If you think you are an "ordinary" American whose job is being stolen by an immigrant maybe you need to remember what the grandson of an immigrant said some time ago. Ask not what America can do for you but what you can do for it. Up your game. Get your kids off their phones and make them do their math homework and then in the Summer get them out there mucking a cow stall so they learn the value of an education. Shut off your television. Quit complaining and start doing. Immigrants might just believe in this country more than you do, so move your ass. Now. And quit your bitching because while you are wasting your time some immigrant is getting the job done. To make America great NOW!

Billy motorcade arrives US Capitol

There are few distinctions in Congress as high as the one afforded the late Rev. Billy Graham at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday and Thursday. Graham will “lie in honor” in the Capitol Rotunda.


Note that Graham will “lie in honor,” not “in state.” We should refer to Graham as “lying in honor” rather than “lying in state.”

There is little which distinguishes someone from “lying in honor” rather that in “state.” Officially, “lying in honor” is one step below “lying in state.” The pomp and circumstance is much the same. But it formally is one level below “state.”


The Capitol Rotunda is considered to be the the most “holy” place in the American political experience. That’s why Congress reserves such ceremonies in the Rotunda for some of the country’s most-eminent citizens.

Former president Bush paid his respects to 'America's Pastor.'
Most of those honored in the Rotunda have lain in state. Henry Clay was the first in 1852. In recent memory, others have included President John F. Kennedy, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn., Sen. and Rep. Claude Pepper, D-Fla., President Ronald Reagan and President Gerald Ford.

Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, was the last to lie in state in December, 2012. Inouye represented Hawaii in either the House or Senate since it was admitted to the union until he died in 2012.


President Ford was the last President to lie in state in late December 2006 and January 2007.

There are no official rules to determine who lies in state or in honor. But both bodies of Congress must approve a resolution sanctioning usage of the Rotunda for such an event.

But “lying in honor” appears to be a more recent phenomenon. Graham is the fourth such person to lie in honor in the Capitol. The three others were U.S. Capitol Police Officers Jacob Chestnut and John Gibson and civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

Chestnut and Gibson were killed during a July 1998 shootout at the Capitol. Until 9/11 Chestnut and Gibson were the only persons killed defending the U.S. Capitol. The others who died were aboard Flight 93, the plane which was headed toward the Capitol on 9/11 and crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Parks lay in honor in 2005.

Former president attends public viewing for the late Rev. Billy Graham.
Graham will have a military and USCP honor guard unit on hand inside the Capitol.

Fox News is told that a flight carrying Graham’s body will land tomorrow morning at Dulles International Airport outside Washington and be escorted via motorcade to the Capitol. Fox News has learned the motorcade will come from the Dulles Toll Road to I-66 and then into D.C. across the Roosevelt Bridge and down

The hearse carrying Graham will arrive at the Capitol around 10:30 a.m. ET. Military guards will then lift Graham’s casket and carry it up the East Front Steps of the Capitol and into the Rotunda.

Once inside the Rotunda, Graham’s body will rest on an unsanded, pine platform called the “catafalque.” Workers at the Capitol constructed the catafalque to hold the coffin of President Lincoln in 1865. Officials have used the catafalque used ever since for formal funerals and memorials on Capitol Hill, including Graham’s service.

The Architect of the Capitol used to keep the catafalque in the tomb at the Capitol, two floors below the Rotunda floor. That’s the spot where George Washington was originally to be buried. But instead, Washington is interred at Mount Vernon. They moved the catafalque to the Capitol Visitor’s Center when it opened in 2008.

President Trump will travel to the Capitol tomorrow morning for the service and lay a wreath. Only family members, lawmakers and other dignitaries will be present in the Rotunda for the service tomorrow morning. Members of the public can file through the Capitol to pay their respects beginning at 1 p.m. ET through the evening.

The honor guard will stand watch over Graham’s casket throughout the night. They will then escort Graham’s casket out of the Rotunda on Thursday morning. The public will not be permitted in the Capitol for the Thursday departure.

Billy Graham's body to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda Wednesday and Thursday.
The identities of some Americans who have laid in state are a mystery. That’s because Congress has held ceremonies for unknown soldiers from World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam conflict to lie in state in the Rotunda,

It’s also notable for who hasn’t laid in state or honor in the Capitol. Most Presidents lie in state. But the family of President Richard Nixon surrendered that honor, thinking some people may not be respectful.

There was an initial plan for Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio – the first American to orbit the Earth – to lay in state or honor in the Rotunda. Glenn first burst onto the public scene with his historic voyage in 1962, circling the globe three times. Glenn then retired from the Senate in 1999. But he lived until late 2016. Glenn’s plan evolved over time.

Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., the longest serving senator in U.S. history, did not lie in state or honor in the Rotunda. Instead, Byrd laid in repose in the Senate chamber.

Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., had no formal services in the Capitol. However, the hearse bearing Kennedy’s casket drove across the Capitol plaza en route to his final resting place at Arlington National Cemetery in 2009.

A special Amtrak train carried the body of Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., back to Washington after his death in 2013. Lautenberg lay in repose atop the catafalque in the Senate chamber before his burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
