White House chief of staff John Kelly, made highly offensive comments about immigrants during an interview with National Public Radio on Friday.
Kelly said immigrants are: “not people that would easily assimilate into the United States into our modern society.”

Jennifer Mendelsohn, looked up Kelly’s ancestry to prove to him and the rest of America that we all come from immigrants. Mendelsohn found out through a 1900 census bureau that Kelly’s great grandfather lived in America undocumented for 18 years and could not “read, write, or speak English.”
She revealed her findings on Twitter:
The 1930 census shows those great-grandparents living with their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, one of whom was Kelly’s mother.
