Our country was formed by....immigrants!

Or was that by common citizens owning and bearing military grade guns?

They were not immigrating......they came here because no civilization existed......and when they met people, they were used as soldiers of fortune to wipe out enemy tribes....then they just said fuck it, we're taking over....and thank god they did.....#best country ever.

"No civilization existed"

That must be why so many 'settlers' looked at the Indians' lifestyle, looked at their own ---- and ran off to join the former. To get away from "civilization".

What do you think?

At the time of the revolution 24% of the population of the 13 colonies were foreign born. If you count 2nd and 3rd generation, that would bring it up to well above 60%, so, yes, our country was formed by immigrants.

Formed before the FIRST immigration laws were written.
The Act. On August 3, 1882, the forty-seventh United States Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1882. It is considered by many to be "first general immigration law" due to the fact that it created the guidelines of exclusion through the creation of "a new category of inadmissible aliens."

And by the way NOT ONE American that I know is against any person who wants to become a legal American citizen by doing the following:
To become a U.S. citizen, you must:

• Have had a Permanent Resident (Green) Card for at least five years, or for at least three years if you’re filing as the spouse of a U.S. citizen
  • If you apply for naturalization less than six months before your Permanent Resident Card expires, or do not apply for naturalization until your card has already expired, you must renew your card.
  • You can apply for naturalization before you receive your new Green Card, but you’ll need to submit a photocopy of the receipt of your Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, when you receive it.
• Meet certain eligibility requirements including being
  • At least 18 years old at the time of filing
  • Able to read, write, and speak basic English
  • A person of good moral character
• Go through the ten step naturalization process which includes
  • Determining your eligibility to become an American citizen
  • Preparing and submitting form N-400, the application for naturalization

Now nearly 90 million of us Americans including Donald Trump (who's wife by the way is a "LEGAL" naturalized Citizen who followed all the above steps) relatives of mine who laboriously followed the above steps are rightfully disgusted when people evidently like you think we hate immigrants!

We are NOT against LEGAL immigrants that want to give up their own home citizenship, adopt the American flag and not be waving their home country because this is their home
NOW!
What we are against is lazy shiftless people that don't qualify for the above!

Here is a map of the US in 1883. I would say the country was pretty much already formed before then.

DUH!

I wasn't addressing how the physical country was formed but when the FIRST immigration laws came into existence.

You are the one that needs to see a psychiatrist because a fetish with crap... is a medical disorder known as fecal smearing, also called scatolia in medical literature, is surprisingly common among children and adults.
Psychologists note that scatolia tends to occur in individuals with a history of obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, ADD, autism or post-traumatic stress, especially trauma related to physical or sexual abuse.

What Really Happened at the First Thanksgiving? The Wampanoag Side of the Tale


I love tossing knowledge out there.

check out this statement:

What did the treaty say?

It basically said we’d let them be there and we would protect them against any enemies and they would protect us from any of ours. [The 2011 Native American $1 coin commemorates the 1621 treaty between the Wampanoag tribe and the Pilgrims of Plymouth colony.] It was basically an I’ll watch your back, you watch mine’ agreement. Later on we collaborated on jurisdictions and creating a system so that we could live together.

Wow.

Another example of the alternate reality taught in our schools today.

No, a bunch of settlers didn't run off to join Indian civilization lol.

Some were kidnapped, after their families and settlements were brutally butchered.

But believe me, outside of *Gunsmoke* and *Little House on the Prairie* there was no mass infiltration of native American culture by culture-appropriating white settlers.

Wow. I knew you were an imbecile, but once again, I failed to appreciate how stupid you really are.

I didn't think it was possible for you to prove you are more stupid. But you did.

And this was my relative that was captured by the Indians after they killed his mother.

"On the third day of their captivity, Betsy Dragoo’s horse stumbled and threw her to the ground. Having broken her hip, she could travel no further and was promptly killed and scalped in front of her son.
'Indian' Billy Dragoo lived two lives on the frontier

Yea my Indian ancestors weren't the friendliest of people.
One further thought... my Indian ancestors living in the 1500s when the evil white man came had a life span of 35...due to diseases, wars, poor food, etc.
Today my Indian relatives live to 75 and some are casino millionaires in Florida to boot!

The new settlers, from their settlements intend to dispossess the current inhabitants by any means necessary. They are not immigrants who intend to assimilate into the existing national fabric.

Ignorance.....immigration is a COUNTRY'S policy...There was no country at that time. See my post to 'Stormy.'

Well, if you're going to claim other people are ignorant based on technicalities, you're going to need to do better than fail on the technicalities. A "country" is an area of land. It is not a type of polity. Country can refer to the extended non-sovereign area beyond the borders of a polity but still within its influence (such as the countryside surrounding a city-state), or it can refer to a continuous area occupied by culturally linked people of separate polities (much like the country of Greece in classical times was a region comprising the whole of an ethno-cultural group, but contained many polities that were otherwise unconnected). There were instead a variety of polities, from quasi-communist chiefdoms to expansive empires.

If a 'country' is an 'area of land' who defined that 'area of land?' Moreover, if a country is an area of land, then why don't we call the whole Earth a country? A country certainly is a polity because without organization there can be no country. Like I said, you display ignorance.
