Were you around in the 1700s? Or, like the rest of us, were you born in the late 1900s when things were already built? Or did you have a different point!
Doesn't matter. It seems that how your ancestors came affects your philosophy on the issue. Descendants of immigrants think this country is a nation of immigrants, established unorganically and very deliberately to create opportunities for people from other countries to make money and support their immediate families and their families back home monetarily. Those not descendant from immigrants, we think differently.
Which tribal nation do you belong to?
DP.
My spouse and kids are all registered members of a federally recognized tribe.
All the rest of you are violent undocumented immigrants.
Funny that you want to slam the door shut now. 😂

Wow the DAR snobs out in force tonight. I’m proud descendent of 19th and 20th century immigrants who came to a country where previous arrivals had built something, and who helped to build something even better, working in factories and building America’s bridges and roads to create the world’s greatest economy.
That's cool, doesn't mean we are at our foundation a nation of immigrants and should allow for mass immigration now. None of this means that immigration never happened. Just means that plenty of us are not immigrants or descendant from immigrants, and do not have warm fuzzy feeling about immigration.
Why won't you answer which tribal nation you belong to?
One, I don't have to answer any of your questions, and two, I am talking about the nation and the establishment of a government, not simply land.

Exactly. What happened to the melting pot? Our diversity is our strength. These fools are just swallowing the GOP fear-pie.
That was my post but I’ll add the my Italian immigrant uncles signed up, to the man, all six of them, to fight in WW2, including in the Battle of the Bulge and one spent a year in a German POW camp. Then came back and did back breaking work on the booming post war economy. So I don’t want to hear it from PP about who built this country. And I’m sure almost everyone in this board has a similar story (if they know their family history) of immigrants who build this country.

Vance made his case concretely, stating people's real specific concerns, and got the last word. Believe him or not, he hit the target dead center for people concerned about their own immediate lives, not theoretically abstractions.

There is no melting pot. Where are people blending together? It is ok to admit immigrants come to advanced the interests of their own families, not the nation as a whole. Remember, we are always told they are so "family oriented".

I’m sorry - I don’t recall being forced to have a vaccine. Do you?
As a federal employee, I was.

She specifically endorsed Harris-Walz. There was nothing wrong with his close.
Also Dick Cheney???? Not a very positive person.
