When the Irish came in the mid 1800s, were they "invited"? Welcomed?Our American history is one of immigration. And that history has worked out well for us. We are the preeminent nation of freedom. Did immigrants ruin that or build that?Republicans have congealed into the party of Trump along with his attitudes, suspicions, fears and hatred. When Republicans (read Trumpians) see Latino immigrants, they don't see people but threats. Threats to their vision of a lily white nation. Threats to the English language. Threats to their NASCAR loving, country music listening, reality TVshow watching 'culture'.I mean folks in government aren’t exactly stupid...are the two parties analyzing different statistical data?
As much as I post about it, I still have a real hard time believing that Democrats support a thirdworld conversion of the United States...after all, a nation is what it’s people are...right?
There’s gotta be something we’re missing?
They do not see people who are honest, hard working, family oriented folks. They do not understand that America is a national n made up of immigrants. They do not value the gifts immigrants bring to our unique American culture.
Rather, the Republicans prefer to castigate immigrants, ignore their gifts and talents and demean their very humanity.
Why can't Republicans see that? Good old fashioned xenophobia.
So you think operating by the ‘feels’ is the way to go? Fuck economics and fuck our own people...right? That’s pretty fucked up of you...why would you only want to spoon feed those who illegally force their way into our home? Why not spoon feed the entire suffering world? What’s the qualifier for you?
Your fear of becoming marginalized is not a new fear. Many have exploited that fear. Folks like the Klan and the blatantly racist Trump. For some unfortunate souls, that exploitation is comforting. They go on to think the worst is happening, but they have a champion to allay those fears.
See how you use phrases like 'spoon feed'? That is an admission that you believe immigrants are shiftless, lazy and needy. It shows that you have never seen how I,migrants are, in reality, hard working, tax paying, family oriented people. That's really sad, if we're going to talk about feelings.
We are a nation of first world minded, invited immigrants...this is true.
You sometimes seem like a fairly intelligent person...one whom applies logic and reason. How and or why do you struggle to understand that American people are who decides when immigrants are needed or desired? When we decide they are needed or desired we send invitations. Do you know the difference between invited and uninvited guests? How about legal and illegal?
When the Italians came, were they "invited"? Why were they segregated? Why were they referred to as 'knife wielding' Italians? Clannish Jews? Brutish Irish? What can you tell us about Chinese exclusion laws?
Invitations? Can you post a link?
