If you think the ongoing immigration debates don't apply to you, Jennifer Mendelsohn has some news: They probably do.
Mendelsohn, a journalist, author and passionate genealogist, has been using people's public family history to beat back some of the uglier claims about immigrants and how they fit into US history.
She calls it #resistancegenealogy, and it only takes a few online tools and some instinctive sleuthing for her to call out public figures who oppose common forms of immigration.

Take Tomi Lahren, for example. This week, the conservative pundit shared her thoughts on immigration during an interview with Fox News. "You don't just come into this country with low skills, low education, not understanding the language and come into our country because someone says it makes them feel nice," she said. "That's not what this country is based on."
It didn't take long for Mendelsohn to swoop in with some fascinating facts about Lahren's own ancestors.
"Except the 1930 census says Tomi's 3x great-grandmother had been here for 41 years and still spoke German," Mendelsohn tweeted, along with some records. "Her 2nd great-grandmother had been here for 10 yrs. Spoke no English."

Her great-grandfather's 1895 baptism from MN? Recorded in Norwegian.#resistancegenealogy #receipts pic.twitter.com/rIySFu6fvL
