We're all immigrants, the only difference being that some of us happen to have been born here

The Pilgrims came here without visas or passports, like in that time period their were borders and gov offices to issue visas and passports.

Why should there even be a “golden door” any more? Just rip it off its hinges and what’s beyond it becomes the world’s door mat, truly a cosmopolitan zone and not a country. There is not a single other country in the modern world that suffers from such suicidal madness.

They weren’t attracted here by government freebies and handouts either.

I'm not an immigrant. I was born here, as were my parents before me, and their's before them.

Post-modern deconstructionist BS. Just for that, I’m pulling for the Yankees!

it also happens to be the world's greatest melting pot
A melting pot means assimilation. There is no melting pot when people refuse to learn and use English, retain loyalty to their birth countries, and reject the unique American experience and culture of self-reliance, natural rights, and individual liberty.

We fought a bloody war for this country, and we won.

A little footnote to history.
Most indian tribes fought on the side of the British in the American Revolution.
Journalist would well remember that as they exercise their first Amendment rights PAID IN BLOOD fighting these indian tribes fighting next to the British and Loyalists.

Good grief. There was no sovereign nation in what became the U.S. when the Pilgrims arrived; or, for that matter, when the first “Americans” arrived from Siberia via the Bering Straits landbridge. There can be no “immigration” without a sovereign state to “immigrate” to. Migration is not the same as immigration.

We are a settler nation. But we have had a government for over 200 years. This author does not believe in the legitimacy of America, or any other nation state. (At least white ones. I’m failrly certain that if Americans were immi-vading a non-white country, he’d cry foul again).

Memorable quote from Jesse Jackson when he was running for President: “We all came here in different ships, but we are all in the same boat now.”

This is complete bs. I’m NOT an immigrant; I was born here. Further, while my ancestors may have been involuntary immigrants, they were NOT criminal illegal aliens. Their criminality was from entirely different laws broken. There were NO immigrations laws here to break.

The British were the best army in the world and were expected to win handily.
The indian tribes wanted to be on the winning side both for loot and power.

Anything to rationalized illegal immigration until the whole damned thing collapses under it’s own weight. Idiots.

The US is not a geographical place. Its a constitutional republic. So, you’re a citizen or you’re not a citizen. The rules are clear.
In a democracy, we agree to share power with our neighbors. But we don’t agree to share power with just anyone; thats where the rules of citizenship come in.

Some malcontents claim that Indians had governments. And do not mention that they were local affairs, and never managed to stake out geographic rights in the sense we know them today. Had North American Indians had the savvy to come up with the concept of geographically defined states, then we’d be talking a different story. They were nomads.
