It is land of immigrants but they come legally.... when they don’t, they are criminals and that’s just wrong!!!

@SW-User the WASPs who came over were "legal" were they? Did you consult Native on that? Because I'm pretty sure they came over and slaughter Native And stole their land.

I've heard it more so as an argument to oppose racism. I'm sure some use it as an argument to oppose things that aren't in favor of the nation, but I'm sure a lot of those things could be debated anyway, since what's "in favor" of the nation definitely is opinion based most often.

@AmmieBell people really like to talk down about illegal immigrants (not referring to this post specifically, just in general) but they don't bother to educate themselves on the system itself. Our immigration system is whack.

By some who tend to be unenlightened, it has been.

This nation is made up of immigrants. Most nations are a mix of races and conquered peoples, but the US stands out. Funny thing is, we treat immigration like it's a subway car - once "ours" get on board, suddenly there's no more room for those running to catch the train.

Our greatest strengths come from the breadth of experiences, cultures and histories we all bring with us. They should be celebrated. Great philosophers aren't solely American. Nor are surgeons, schoolteachers, fashion designers, inventors. The more immigrants who make up a country, the more intricate and colorful is the fabric of that country.

I suppose it could be , if you consider it a weakness. Personally I consider a strong Migrant base a strength in a culture.

@whowasthatmaskedman A few rednecks...don’t judge the whole south by a few white supremacists.... heck nobody labels the north because of MalcomeX.... 😕

@SW-User Ahh. A point we can agree on. But your constitution protects you there. And a few rabble rousers will emerge for any cause. I would like to see migrants embrace a new country, rather that bring the old with them in the form of politics. But I would also like ALL region relegated to private practice and has all churches taxed. I guess we cant have everything.
I wonder if ppl sat around and moaned about alaxander the great.. invading lands.. 🤔

It would be more accurate to call it a nation of invaders.

So if these migrants are "invading" then is that not the American spirit in its purest form?
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@Graylight true, but in the case of the early WASP immigrants, they were invaders who killed Native Americans and stole land.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@basilfawlty89 Yes, and I make an allowance for that. And it really wasn't WASPS. It started much, much earlier with Spanish explorers and missionaries.

But genocide by WASP as we know it didn't really take hold until the Western expansion into inhabited territories. Up until then, it was attempts as compromises and individual skirmishes. For the most part.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@Graylight well definitely, the Spanish aren't blameless and did horrible things to our people, Mexicans remember.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
Are you referring to my comment? Facts are facts. You seem to assume that "immigrant" automatically means "hostile." Which is of course, ridiculous.
