Posts tagged "Immigration"

My mother married, she was 13
American Dream
Happy every day
Everybody wore hats in those days
My father was an illegal immigrant
Jobs were scarce
They spoke Yiddish or English
I’ve been there
Every nationality lived there
I came here to get married
I had a lot of friends on the block
