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

I'm not obligated by any civic duty to agree with some dumb fricking article that's for sure

quote:

---

immigrated to here looking for work in the mid-nineteenth century, and were dependent on others to provide them with jobs.

This is precisely the situation I was trying to describe - and by the mid-19th century there was a country here and you could not just come 'settle' land - Our government was established and had well documented laws.

BUT - in the mid-19th century there was no place you could plop your butt down and demand someone provide you with food, clothing and a place to sleep. There were charity organizations that were privately funded.

The only place you could get "free" food and lodging and clothing was in the military. But then you were 'earning' it by your service.

The point is that this country was settled by people who worked - or had relatives or friends that pampered them.

THIS is what being an AMERICAN was all about.

Now - we have democrats trying to change all that into a population that was dependent on the gov't. for their daily needs. This mindset will be the death of the USA - whatever survives will be unrecognizeable wrt our founding principles and the first 250 years of our existence.

There is a place for immigrants - we are the most friendly place in the world for immigrants with integrity, a work ethic, and a dedication to becoming an American just like all the rest of us.
