America belongs to immigrants because immigrants make the nation more powerful, says a former Wall Street Journal writer who is now working for the New York Times.
Immigrants produce more babies, work harder, create more jobs, and have more ideas, claims the revealing column by immigration-advocate Bret Stephens:
I speak of Americans whose families have been in this country for a few generations. Complacent, entitled and often shockingly ignorant on basic points of American law and history, they are the stagnant pool in which our national prospects risk drowning
Bottom line: So-called real Americans are screwing up America. Maybe they should leave, so that we can replace them with new and better ones: newcomers who are more appreciative of what the United States has to offer, more ambitious for themselves and their children, and more willing to sacrifice for the future. In other words, just the kind of people we used to be when we had just come off the boat
Im the child of immigrants and grew up abroad, I have always thought of the United States as a country that belongs first to its newcomers the people who strain hardest to become a part of it because they realize that its precious; and who do the most to remake it so that our ideas, and our appeal, may stay fresh.
That used to be a cliché, but in the Age of [President Donald] Trump it needs to be explained all over again. Were a country of immigrants by and for them, too. Americans who dont get it should get out.

“Does the NYT editorial board have a baseball team?”
LOL
The sophistry is sloppy, half assed and definitely a waste of time.
Maybe we should start with LIB idiots being “deported”???
The author, Bret Stephens, eventually gets to the point... he is a daca supporter.

....: So-called real Americans are screwing up America...
Yes, the Democrats and liberals certainly are.
America belongs to conservatives because conservatives make the nation more powerful, says a former Wall Street Journal writer who is now working for the New York Times.
Conservatives produce more babies, work harder, create more jobs, and have more ideas, claims the revealing column by Conservative-advocate JPJones:
I speak of Liberals whose families have been in this country for a few generations. Complacent, entitled and often shockingly ignorant on basic points of American law and history, they are the stagnant pool in which our national prospects risk drowning ”
Fixed.
NYT would say deport real Americans to Madacascar. Just like their Nazi mentors.
President Trump LOVES immigrants.. Conservatives LOVE immigrants.. We DO NOT love Freeloaders or Criminals sneaking into our country and destroying it.. Democrats do.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If you have a governing philosophy which punishes baby making and other productive behaviors, the solution is not to replace the population, the solution is to replace the leadership.
So, what does the NY Times’ Bret Stephens contribute to America? Heck, what does the NY Times and most of it reporters contribute? Those are the biggest offenders who have American reeling from their stupidity and irrational thinking?
Deport the whole NY Times staff, and replace them all with the uneducated and ignorant immigrants, who, even if they have nothing to contribute, they won’t be contributing as much negativity as the working at the NY Times.
Memo to President Trump: Please consider tweaking the tax code to provide greater incentives for tax paying, job holding married people to have children. And remove incentives in the welfare system for poor people to have children. The birthrate IS an issue, no doubt, but having more welfare recipients pop out more kids that will receive gov’t services throughout their lives isn’t going to fix it. We need to increase the birth rate of productive people instead.
Done.
Immigrants are voting with their feet and leaving what they consider to be failed nations and coming to what they consider to be a successful nation, a nation which was created and built and defended for more the 400 years before Bret Stephens and other current immigrants arrived.
What an arrogant POS.
What does Bret Stephens contribute? Why, tremendous amounts of condescension, of course!
Deport the socialists, they have no clue what America was founded to be.
He is also talking about a time before welfare. They either made it or starved. Not so much anymore. Most immigrants are on some kind of aid and all those children they’re having, that by a mistake are American citizens, are sucking the aid wagon dry.
Most people don’t know what a natural born citizen is.
Even here on Free Republic we have many who think it is anyone born of an American parent anywhere in the world or any child born here of foreigners.
Immigrants get “help” in the form of money for many years that young native born Americans do not. We subsidize the immigrant both legal and illegal.
Agreed
