Yes lets keep things in perspective. In the '60s Dr Padron came from 
Cuba and tough me organic chemistry. When I had the opportunity to 
return to college, after our government gave me some time away from 
academia to travel in Southeast Asia, Padron was the head of the 
Chemistry Department. Dr. Hernandez, who was recently from Cuba, was 
teaching advanced classes in the Math Department.

 From the tone in general I take it some no longer agree with the French 
gift which includes:

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
