How hard is this to understand. No, the colonist considered themselves members of Great Britain. I mean you ever hear of this thing called the French and Indian war? They were loyal to the King, and in fact, were expected to be loyal to the king under penalty of death if they were not. Which kind of emphasizes how brave those men that signed the Declaration of Independence really were.OH so the colonists didn't think they were being controlled by a foreign power? WTF? Sorry you lost.
But, they were not citizens. They couldn't vote. They paid taxes, but they had no representation. Now, the immigrants that come to this country, even the legal immigrants for a period of time, and most certainly the illegal ones. They pay taxes, just like the colonists did. And they have allegiance to this country, in fact, many of them serve in the armed forces just like the colonists did during the French and Indian war. Estimates are around 35,000 serve today.
And the part that really gets me. Illegal immigrants pay over 13 billion dollars into Social Security every year. They pay that knowing they will probably never get a benefit and they never complain. Meanwhile, assholes like you pay in and bitch the whole time. Claim it is a retirement account and mumble ignorantly about your ROI. But you become disabled, you will roll that wheelchair into the SSA office and demand your disability benefit as soon as you are able. Those illegal immigrants are happy to pay that tax simply for the privilege to live and work here. You think you are entitled. In my eyes that makes them more American than you, and the circumstances make them more like the colonists than you.
Calling for only citizens to vote, ignoring the very reason this country rebelled against the British empire. And smugly thinking you have it right. May God have mercy on your soul.
