Why do folks who left their own country, get to lecture/influence our politics?

John Oliver (UK)
Trevor Noah (S. Africa)
Samantha Bee (Canada)
Jorge Ramos (Mex)
Rupert Murdoch (Australia)
George Soros (Hungary)
Sharon Osburne (UK)
Indra Nooyi (India)
Christiane Amanpour (UK)
Mort Zuckerman (Canada)
Haim Saban (Egypt)
Sergey Brin (Ukraine)
Peter Thiel (Germany)
Elon Musk (S. Africa)
Madonna (now in the UK)
Just seems like they are naturally unhappy people and cant find happiness anywhere? So why do they get a voice in American politics?
And how many Americans are allowed voices in their countries to influence politics?

Bc we give them a voice by acknowledging them; ignore them and they go away....I promise.

Why is Celine Dion allowed to stay in the U.S. for like, forever, when she's a Canadian citizen? For that matter, why do we allow Justin Bieber into the country?

Liberals believe the same thing about terrorism. I would argue it isn't true in either case.

Remember Octomom? Neither does anyone else

Oh, how I wish that were true. If so, Stephen Colbert would have been cancelled a long time ago. Some people are given voices specifically because of what they are saying, not due to the size of the audience they attract

Don't forget Cattie Cay

Is that a trick question?

Are all of them naturalized American citizens? If so, then I see no reason to prohibit them from participating in the political process. Feel free to ignore them if you'd like. But saying that Americans should not be allowed to participate in American politics is fundamentally un-American.

Interesting to get an outsiders perspective.

Why did you leave out Milo? He's a bigger shite stirrer than any of these people.

Don't forget Tatiana Wright. I'll listen to her opinions anytime she wants me too.

Because this is a supposedly free country.

But most of these are the first ones to toss the racists. homophobes, xenophobe labels.
Which they damn sure couldn't get away with at home. Nor could an American do it there, either.

How many of those are US Citizens now?
If you're a US citizen, chime away.
If you pay US taxes even though you're from elsewhere, I'm also ok with you chiming away.

Actually didn't think of him, but what exactly is his platform to influence or lecture. Because twitter took away his personal account.
Most of the list has a platform, or title that comes with influence. I view Milo as no different than DeRay. Just curious as to how Milo would qualify to be on that list?

Well, AFAIK he's still an editor on Breitbart and he seems to be raking in the bucks on the college lecture circuit peddling his half-baked libertarianism.

He was suspended multiple times before he hanged himself with the rope they gave him.

They have no loyalty to America.
They use her to leverage whatever they can in their tiny lifespans for personal gain. They have no affinity for it, they are interlopers

That's the thing. Each of them came over on Visas, then decided to become citizens. They came into a system that helped them profit, then they turned on that very system, because it wasnt giving out more freebies. Which is not at all the country they came to, and was able to find success in!
In Madonna case she left the US to go to the UK, which is 91% white. And then wants to call the US a bunch of racists
