It’s Your Civic Duty To Reject The ‘Nation Of Immigrants’ Propaganda You Learned In School





quote:

America is not a “nation of immigrants,” and never has been, but there has been a generations-long effort to make Americans feel a false sense of camaraderie with culturally unrecognizable people from all over the globe.

Every generation for the past century-plus has been told the same thing:

The United States exists to save the entire world’s less well-to-do by bringing them here and allowing them to experience the American Dream.



quote:

It was an argument made by politicians and members of the media, to be sure, but government schools made sure to “mold young minds” into believing the nonsense as well.

It was actually an easy argument to make, so long as there was not a deep dive into the historical evidence.


The Germans, Irish, and Italians had all, more or less, assimilated quickly into American culture. It seemed there really was something in the water, and anyone who could take a sip might become as American as anyone whose family helped found the country.

There is something in the water, to be sure, but it is not a secret sauce — it does not work like that.

It only exists because generations of Christian Americans from Anglo-European descent built it, maintained it, and created a highly successful, high-trust society meant to be handed down to their kinfolk.


To the extent that it was to be shared with foreigners, the recipients of such a privilege would have to prove themselves worthy of it, and not just at the outset to gain entry, but in perpetuity as a way to continually prove their worth to the people who allowed them to be there.



quote:

“Allowing people to become new citizens is a two way agreement, and the part that everyone leaves out is the existing members of the social compact have a right to decide who they want to admit as citizens,” Glenn Ellmers, Salvatori Research Fellow in the American Founding at the Claremont Institute, told The Federalist.

“They can exclude anyone they want for any reason, and that sounds kind of harsh and arbitrary, but that’s social compact, because admitting new citizens is only done on the basis of,

‘Will they add to the common good in the country?’ … becoming an American citizen is not a right.”

Why do so many now not understand that?

Why is the United States the repository for all the world’s least successful, often violent, often untrustworthy individuals?


. . .
. . .

quote:

“The existing members of the social compact, people who are already citizens, have very, very good reasons for saying, ‘Hold on, we already have way too many people here that we can’t handle, who are not assimilating, who do not demonstrate republican virtue, we have a real problem with the civic health of the country, and so for now, we’re simply going to deny adding any new citizens to the compact until we can figure out our current problems,'”

Ellmers said. “That is not only entirely their right, you can even say it’s their duty to prevent any new citizens from coming in until the health of the Republic can be restored and those new citizens can be properly assimilated.”

It was all an effort to blot out the whites.

The day reach 20% of the population, you'll see a newfound yearning for nationalism after we are gone.

So how does that change their status of immigrants?

And how are Latinos not Christians from European descent?

Latino refers to Latin America. That's how.

TLDR

That said, it's always been a BS position that the USA resides on "stolen land" and at the same time we are a nation of immigrants that shouldn't enforce a border.

And? My question still stands.

Latinos are a race/ethnicity created within the past 500 years or so from the Spanish and Portuguese (Europeans) in Latin America.

That's also why they're heavily Christian (Catholicism didn't sprout in Latin America by itself)

You are as to be expected intentionally missing the point so you can obfuscate the message.

Technically the colonies were started by immigrants, but once our nation was founded immigration was used as a tool to improve the country, ratcheting it up when we needed more labor and tightening it down when it became counterproductive - see the other parts of the article that covers the deportations and ban of Chinese coolies after we no longer needed them to build the rail roads.

Also Eisenhower had a huge crackdown as well in another time period when it was a big issue.

The citizens who are already in this country have a right and our politicians a duty to represent our desires that immigration be used in a positive way to benefit our country.

Currently it was being abused as a means of replacing voters in a desperate grasp at retaining power by the corrupt democrat party and their puppet masters.

Thank you for your post. One only has to look at the wisdom of the forefathers to know how far we have fallen. We must aspire to higher ideals in America if we truly wish to be that shining beacon on the hill!!

No I'm pointing out how it's not a logically sound point. I get what the author was trying to say and he failed.

quote:

We didn't have a comprehensive immigration law until the early 1900s my dude. This is more revisionist history than "we are a nation of immigrants" could ever be.

quote:

The citizens who are already in this country have a right and our politicians a duty to represent our desires that immigration be used in a positive way to benefit our country.

THAT is obfuscation from the argument that "we are not a nation of immigrants"

When people say that, it's not addressing Congress's putative power, which is not in question.

quote:

Primarily with the very demographic the author said was crucial to our culture. Christians of European descent.

If they weren’t immigrants, why would they need to assimilate? WTF is this?

Yeah 300k years ago or something, allegedly.

I used 500 years for a reason. It's not that long ago.

They weren't even created into being non-white until very recently.

Either works.

Hispanics are also Christians of European descent

Before 1980 there was no legal "Hispanic-Latino" option on the census. They were considered white.

I'm pretty sure this is a frickin lie. Their maps of migration out of Africa and the timelines for civilization are way frickin off.
