Eh. I daresay I've accomplished a lot more than you ever will.

And I daresay many immigrants from countries like Haiti and Somalia have contributed much more to this country than you ever will.

That's ok though. We are happy to share the fruits of our talents with our fellow Americans.

Teaching kids to avoid bitcoin among those “accomplishments”?
 
Eh. I overlooked that bitcoin has a fundamental value for those looking for opacity in their transactions. At least I'm willing to acknowledge that. Mr Self-Reflection Ivermectin Man.
 
What do Somalian believe wrt to free speech right, self defense rights, and limited government.

The ones elected to our congress have been quite open about their hated for those American ideals, so I fail to see why we should want people combative to the ideals fundamental to our country

But hey nsacpi had a student one time who wasn't retarded therefore the data is irrelevant I guess

My premise is Imar despises the very foundations the united states was founded one, outwardly despising the law of our land. Why the fuck would I want someone who hates the country to be in the country?
 
yeah...and i have my own premises about who is destroying the foundations of this country

i say deport them all at some remote place in the middle of the ocean...drop them from 30,000 feet without a parachute...bon appetit to the sharks

what is the history of the Arab migration to Dearborn

ChatGPT said:​

Arab migration to Dearborn has unfolded in distinct waves over more than a century, shaped by global politics, U.S. immigration law, and the rise of the auto industry in Michigan. Here’s a clear chronological account:

1. The First Wave (Late 19th Century–1924)​

Origins: Primarily Lebanese and Syrian Christians from what was then Greater Syria in the Ottoman Empire.

Drivers:

  • Economic hardship in the Levant
  • Escape from Ottoman conscription
  • The lure of U.S. industrial jobs
Michigan tie:
These early immigrants did not initially settle in Dearborn. They lived mostly in Detroit, working in small businesses or day labor.

Impact of Immigration Policy:
This wave ended with the Immigration Act of 1924, which imposed strict national-origin quotas and severely limited immigration from the Middle East.

2. The Second Wave (1924–1965)​

Smaller in size due to immigration restrictions.
Most new arrivals were:

  • Students
  • Family reunification cases
  • A small number of Yemeni laborers recruited for auto plants
Ford Motor Company connection:
Henry Ford encouraged Yemeni men to work in the Rouge plant.

  • This created one of the earliest Yemeni communities in Dearborn, especially in Southend (South Dearborn).
  • Almost all were men; many planned temporary stays to support families back home.
Still, Dearborn’s Arab population remained modest during this period.

3. The Third Wave (Post-1965 Immigration Act)​

This is the transformative period.

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 removed national-origin quotas → large-scale Arab migration became possible.

Large groups arrived from:

  • Lebanon (Christian and Muslim), especially during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990)
  • Yemen (expanding the earlier labor-based community)
  • Iraq (after 1980 Iran–Iraq War, 1991 Gulf War, and 2003 invasion)
  • Palestine (West Bank and Gaza)
  • Syria and Jordan in smaller numbers
Why Dearborn?
By the 1970s–80s, Dearborn offered:

  • Affordable housing
  • Proximity to auto-industry jobs
  • An established Yemeni and Lebanese core
  • Social institutions (mosques, churches, businesses) that made the city a magnet for new arrivals
The Arab American National Museum cites this period as the beginning of Dearborn’s emergence as a national Arab-American center.

4. Suburbanization and Community Building (1980s–2000s)​

As the Detroit metro area suburbanized, Arab Americans increasingly chose Dearborn over Detroit.

Key developments:

  • The opening of Islamic Center of America (originally in Detroit; new landmark building in Dearborn in 2005)
  • Growth of Shi‘a Lebanese population centered in East Dearborn
  • Expansion of Yemeni neighborhoods in Southend
  • Establishment of Arab-owned businesses, groceries, bakeries, and media outlets
  • Rising political participation (e.g., election of Arab American city council members)
By the 1990s and 2000s, Dearborn had the largest concentration of Arabs in the United States, though not the largest absolute number (that distinction often goes to the broader Detroit metro or Los Angeles).
 
The family of Michael DeBakey, perhaps the most famous heart surgeon in the world, is from Lebanon and has deep roots in the Dearborn/Detroit area. He himself was born in Texas, reflecting a familiar pattern of migration by latter generations away from ethnic enclaves.

My mother's neurologist is of Syrian descent.

God bless them all.
 
How about the history of Arab migration to Paterson, NJ?

ChatGPT said:​

Arab migration to Paterson, New Jersey has one of the oldest and richest histories of any Arab diaspora in the United States—older than Dearborn, and in some ways more comparable to the early migration to places like Boston, Brooklyn, and Toledo.

Here is the clearest, structured historical account:

1. The First Wave (1890s–1924): The Founding of “Little Ramallah”​

Origins​

  • Primarily Christian Palestinians from the towns of:
    • Ramallah
    • Beit Sahour
    • Beit Jala
    • Bethlehem
    • Smaller numbers of Syrians and Lebanese
Paterson—especially the South Paterson neighborhood—became one of the oldest Arab American enclaves in the country.

Why Paterson?​

  • The silk mills of Paterson were booming in this era.
  • Industrial jobs required no English and offered quick employment.
  • Palestinians followed earlier relatives and village networks—this produced chain migration almost identical to what Southern Italians were doing at the same moment.

Community characteristics​

  • Almost all were Christian (Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Lutheran).
  • Settled tightly near Main Street / South Paterson.
  • Founded some of the earliest Arab American churches in the U.S.

End of the first wave​

  • The Immigration Act of 1924 ended large-scale immigration from the Middle East.
  • By this time, Paterson had perhaps the largest Palestinian-origin community in the U.S.

2. The Quiet Period (1924–1965)​

Very little new immigration due to federal restrictions.

The community that existed became:

  • More Americanized
  • More dispersed into small businesses (grocers, fabric shops, bakeries)
  • Increasingly economically stable
  • Deeply rooted in Paterson’s civic life
Some families moved to Clifton, Fair Lawn, Wayne, etc., as they became more middle-class.

This era produced some of the earliest second-generation Palestinian and Syrian Americans in the U.S.

3. The Second Wave (1965–1990s): A New Migration Layer​

After the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, migration opened again—and Paterson experienced a second, very different wave.

Origins​

  • Palestinians (much larger wave than the first)
  • Lebanese (especially during the Lebanese Civil War, 1975–1990)
  • Syrians
  • Some Jordanians and Yemenis

Changes in the community​

  • This wave was more mixed religiously:
    • More Muslims than the first wave
    • Continued arrival of Christians
  • The neighborhood expanded beyond the old Main Street corridor.

Political context​

Many Palestinians in the second wave were displaced by:

  • The 1967 Six-Day War
  • The 1970–71 Black September conflict in Jordan
  • The Lebanese Civil War, where Palestinian refugee camps played central roles

Economic context​

Like their Dearborn counterparts:

  • Many worked in factories, warehouses, and small retail
  • Some entered textile trades and opened small businesses
  • A growing number entered professional jobs as the second generation matured

4. South Paterson Comes Into Its Own (1990s–2010s)​

By the late 20th century, South Paterson became:

  • A national center of Palestinian American life
  • Home to long-established Christian families and newer Muslim immigrants
  • Economically revitalized through Arab-owned businesses (restaurants, bakeries, butchers, travel agencies, medical offices)

Key institutions​

  • St. George’s Syrian Orthodox Church
  • St. Ann’s Melkite Church
  • Islamic Center of Passaic County (one of the largest mosques in the region)
  • The Arab American Civic Association
  • Dozens of small businesses that formed a “Little Palestine” corridor
Paterson became known as the second largest Palestinian community in the U.S., after Chicago-area suburbs.

5. 2010s–Present: Refugees and a New Generation​

Recent arrivals include:

  • Syrian refugees from the civil war
  • Some Iraqi refugees
  • Continued chain migration from Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron, and their surrounding villages
At the same time, the native-born children of older families have become educators, doctors, business owners, attorneys, and politicians.

Notable trends:

  • Many families stay in Passaic County (Paterson, Clifton, Prospect Park)
  • Some move to Wayne, Totowa, or suburban North Jersey
  • Relatively few go to the Midwest unless for specific career reasons (unlike the Dearborn story)

Key differences between Paterson and Dearborn’s histories​

Paterson​

  • Oldest Palestinian community in the nation
  • Founded by Christian migrants working in silk mills
  • Later became mixed Christian-Muslim
  • More oriented toward small business and suburban dispersion

Dearborn​

  • Early Yemeni labor migration
  • Later large Lebanese Shia influx
  • Strong Ford Motor Company connection
  • Much higher concentration and political presence of Arabs in the city proper

Summary: The Arc of Arab Migration to Paterson​

  1. 1890s–1924: Syrian/Lebanese/Palestinian Christians arrive for silk-mill jobs → create “Little Ramallah.”
  2. 1924–1965: Migration slows; community stabilizes and Americanizes.
  3. 1965–1990s: New wave of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians; more Muslims arrive.
  4. 1990s–present: Neighborhood revitalizes; large mosques, businesses, civic life flourish; newer Syrian refugees join established Palestinian community.
