Parker has completely gone ‘round the bend.
No. Alexander Hamilton was an actual magnificent bastard, but he was not an illegal immigrant.
Actually I think Hamilton initially planned to go to Princeton. Having an oversized ego he wanted to be registered at Priceton as an advanced student without having any previous college courses and a limited formal education. When Priceton turned him down he went to Kings/ Columbia.
I do. Americans are constantly told that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
Liberals are strange. They like to argue that immigrants who came before or in early period of the nation are the same as the current illegal immigrants, by completely ignoring the laws that have been enacted between then and now. Many behaviors that were perfectly fine during that time would be deemed illegal and ground for lawsuits today. Teachers beating students’ fingers with a ruler, for instance, in the past would be seen as an act of discipline. Today, it’s considered child abuse, and God forbid if the teacher is a White person and the students are Blacks or Hispanics!
They claim Adams defended a British soldier who killed Americans at the Boston Massacre. One problem, the Boston Massacre took place in 1770 and the trial was in the King's Court, with Adams an attorney admitted to the King's bar - 6 years before the Declaration of Independence. So at the time Adams was representing a fellow countryman who himself was serving their common country.
Exactly the type of ignorance and lies I would expect from an ObamaCon who whored herself (politically, of course) to Spitzer and CNN.
Next, they’ll be telling us that Crispus Attucks was killed by Tea Partiers.
Memo to moron Parker: Hamilton wrote some of the Federalist Papers. He did not write any of the Constitution. As for his immigration status, it is irrelevant since he became an American before we had a country, much less a Naturalization Act.
This is what happens when you let a menopausal liberal female drive.
Another confirmation that although ignorance can be fixed, there is no cure for stupid.
On an international news and political commentary program?
How long has this bimbo been on national TV?
No, I won't waste my time googling her.
Thomas Paine, who arguably had as much to do with the success of the revolution as any man other than Washington, arrived in the same year, 1774, direct from the UK.
She is insane
Gouverneur Morris wrote the Constitution. Hamilton was on the Committee on Style as well. Hamilton was more responsible for its creation and ratification than any other many being the first to call for a new constitution and then writing two thirds of the Federalist which argued for its acceptance.
He also led the NY Ratification Convention to ratify despite the fact that the political opposition led by Gov. Clinton had a two thirds majority initially against it.
It was not an accident that despite not being born in a colony Hamilton was made eligible to be president. He came to this country probably in October of 1772. Thus, he resided here more than the 14 yrs required to be eligible for the presidency as specified in the Constitution.
He was the chief aide to Washington during almost the whole of the Revolutionary War and was like the son George never had. He trusted Hamilton more than any man.
Outside of Washington Hamilton was the most remarkable of the Revolutionary generation and was as responsible as anyone for the great initial success of the new nation. A great American Hero.
Parker is an imbecilic ignorant twit
Hamilton came into a British colony (New York) before the United States of America even existed.
Anyone who resided in the United States at the time of the drafting of the Constitution (except for indians and slaves) was considered a citizen.
