It wasn't just Catholics and Jews who had trouble as immigrants. Remember "No Irish need apply"? We've always tended to exclude people who look, speak, or worship differently from us WASPs.
The congressman has forgotten another verse in Genesis: The one that says, "The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till and tend it." Gen. 2:15. Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden later in the story, but I haven't found anything in the Bible to suggest that the command to "till and tend" was ever rescinded. We have a responsibility to the earth.

Michele Bachmann is a lunatic. Not so much "interesting... very interesting" as "depressing...very depressing."
