I had a high school teacher who came from Germany in early 1953 and got to be a GOP Senate page at age 16 that year. His dad had been admaral of the flagship of the Nazi Navy. They were German nobility family name Lorenz. A few hundred thousands came before that August 1953 law. They spread like cancer through out our society. Many of the Keating Five S&L fraudsters were those scum's children multiplying the money those families stole from Europe.
