Stop repeating that lie. Legal immigrants can be a huge problem. Ilan Omar is a legal immigrant. This country was founded by people from across the ocean but there was no country here to immigrate to. By your logic the natives are also immigrants. The Cherokee nation was founded by immigrants so immigrants are fine? Nope.

people came here after 1776, ya know? people like the irish and the italians generally came after the country was founded and were resented by the earlier white people, until eventually we all forgot that they're even different. and no, the natives were not immigrants, they lived on this land for thousands of years. white people who came after the country was founded and our society was established were very different from natives

We were not founded by Irish immigrants from the 1800's. What is the difference between our colonists and natives exactly? They all decided to go live somewhere else one day. It's exactly the same thing. Who cares how long they were here, they were not here originally.

We were not founded by immigrants, there was previously no country to immigrate to, and if we cut off immigration entirely today we would be just fine and probably better in fact.

irish and italian immigrants from the 1800s are now part of our country, arent they? nobody has anything against them. we have italian neighborhoods in cities. we have pizza everywhere. they haven't harmed the country and have in some ways benefited us. immigration isn't always bad, it just needs to be controlled

But I'm not arguing that. I am saying we were not founded by immigrants not that we haven't been influenced. I am saying we no longer need this importation and influence. Your argument frankly sounds a little bit like the ones I hear lefties make about Latino immigrants, "what would we do without the tacos and avocados?" We would be just fine without it. I agree that it needs to be controlled but in my mind that control comes in the form of a 20 to 30 year complete moratorium. We are not a developing nation anymore and 3rd world cultures do not belong here.
