The United States Was Built By Immigrants ... the "American Dream" was Founded Upon the Ideal of Welcoming Immigrants ...
Unless you are of Native American blood, ALL of your ancestors migrated here from some other country.

We are a nation built from immigrants -- truly a "melting pot" of different races, religions, and cultures.

The "American Dream" was founded upon the ideal that anyone with a dream, from anywhere, could come here and live their own American Dream.

A lot of us went overseas and FOUGHT to protect this ideal, and our way of life.

It sickens me to see that so many of my fellow Americans now want to deny the American Dream to others.

"Give us your tired, your poor, your wretched refuse -- your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free" -- THAT is what is written on the Statue of Liberty ...

NOT "we need a wall to keep immigrants out."

We Veterans of the Cold War and Desert Storm FOUGHT to see that all walls between nations would be torn down.

I remember being with other Paratroopers at Ft. Bragg, seeing the Berlin Wall coming down, and we CHEERED. It SICKENS me that now so many want to see another wall built in its place -- to deny others their own "American Dream."

You are sadly misinformed.

We do welcome immigrants.. everyday

We require them to go through a vetting process before they can enter.

All this talk about stopping immigration is talking about those trying to enter our country illegally.

Thats why we want a wall, to stop people from entering our country illegally..

Anyone is welcome to get in line and enter legally, just like all of our ancestors youre talking about.

Whats wrong with that?

It was never built as a 'melting pot'.

Please tell me how diverse a few colonies of ENGLISH settlers were again?

These settlers then formed THEIR governments for THEIR purposes.

This is absolutely false. The United States was settled by a group of brave people, they didn't "emigrate", I'm a daughter of the American Revolution, I didn't emigrate here and in fact Ben Franklin warned my ancestors to never let the swarthy skinned Germans into to the new country.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

That's true, but the immigrants then were hard-working decent people who didn't come to the U.S. for the same reasons these more recent groups have.

We invited them in back then to build our industrial base. We needed the workers.

We did NOT invite them here to feed and clothe them and to swell our welfare rolls.

This has got to be one of the stupidist arguments I have ever heard and the sad part is I'm hearing it a lot these days.

And you really wanna argue about who was here first?

I gather history isn't your strong suit.

America was built by European Pioneers. America was a melting pot of Europeans, not these dark races. We even had a 1 drop rule regarding dark skins.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift. Not our immigration policy.

Re: The United States Was Built By Immigrants ... the "American Dream" was Founded Upon the Ideal of Welcoming Immigrants ...
i think it comes down to the legality and method of entry.

DID ya know at Ellis Island immigrants had to have means to support themselves for the first year? were checked for disease ~ criminal and other questionable backgrounds were checked ~

people were rightfully quarantined, turned away, or delayed until a plan was in place to make them have a chance at being successful.

Thats what the right wants on the table, legal immigration.

My neighbors were from mexico - it took her 28 years to legally become a citizen because of the length of that list of people trying to do it legally from mexico.

it meant a lot to her that she did it. i get 28 years is a lifetime to some ~ but the different sets of rules doesnt work.

You're arguing against an imaginary enemy. Nobody wants to shut the door on immigrants completely. Learn the language, learn and abide by the laws, and work for your living, and we shall welcome you with open arms. It's ILLEGAL ALIENS that we take issue with (and the devious fuckers funding them).

There is plenty of legal immigration. Anyone is welcome to apply to be admitted legally. It's a lot of work, I know, but it's the same with almost every other country, including Mexico, Guatemala and the rest of them.

Yes, the USA was built by immigrants who wanted to come to work for a better place. Many of these freeloaders illegally coming here today are gang member intent on crime and moochers who want free housing, food and and medical care. If they can't handle the work, they shouldn't come. Hopefully, the free things will be turned off soon.

In the past, about 1/3 of the people who came and were admitted returned to their home country. It's not easy moving to a new country and scratching out a living.

Sorry, but you’re wrong. I respect what you say, but you are 1000 percent wrong. Don’t give me the fucking excuse about being a nation of immigrants. We are a nation of fucking laws before a nation of immigrants. And when laws are ignored and laws are used to politicize outcomes, it’s not about an American Dream, it’s about submission. And I can tell you wrote now, they can’t build a wall high enough that would satisfy my thirst. We are a melting pot, but nowhere in our Constitution or our set of laws does it say to “immigrants” wishing to come to the United States, HAVE AT IT! No, there’s rules and steps that need to be taken. This isn’t a migrant caravan, it’s a fucking invasion. And it’s political. And it’s not by accident. Of course we sympathize with people who are less fortunate than most Americans, but they’re not my responsibility, and they’re not yours. The United States is not a giant piggy bank to subsidize all countries and individuals who are less fortunate. What you are suggesting is the sped-up suicide of the United States. And I will tell you this, we’re in a Soft Civil War right now. I pray that the Hard Civil War never begins.

We also came over here and conquered this land to be our own. As did many people and nations back in the day. Just because we used to accept immigrants more openly than we do now doesnt mean we dont do it still. There is just a process, instead of being shoveled on to a ship to be brought over.
There is a vetting process. And it needs to be adhered to, or our quality of life that we made for ourselves will diminish.
