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.
Seek psychological help. Please.
This makes you uncomfortable. That is not a psychological problem on my end.
Half right. Your psychosis indeed makes me uncomfortable.

No, because immigration is the biggest issue in politics right now, but we are supposed to be ok with open borders because blah blah we are a nation of immigrants! No, that is not true.
You are so far in the weeds that you've lost the thread. Literally--we are talking about the debate here.

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.
Yeah so your ancestors came over here on a boat some time after the 16th century, just like most of American's ancestors did.
Guess what, there were already nations here across the North American continent.
Her ancestors murdered those people so they don't count.
Yes, the ones that came in the 1600s (not 16th century) formed the nation and government of the USA. Yes, including the slaves. They and their their descendants are not immigrants.
1600s is after the 16th century, no?
And did they come over on a boat? And did they establish residence in a place which was not the country of their birth? Then they immigrated. Learn your vocabulary.
They didn't immigrate. They formed a country that did not exist beforehand.
There were nations ALREADY here. They immigrated. The North American continent was not a tabula rasa. Good lord are you that ignorant of history?

Harris and Trump are complete idiots compared to these two. Love this debate but hate that we’re saddled between voting for the two gaslighting, intellectual lightweights who are running for president.
