I believe that anyone who was not born into US citizenship should not be allowed to hold any office in the United States at all, not even city dog catcher. I'd go as far as saying they shouldn't be allowed to vote either, we should have a different tier of citizenship for foreign born people who become US citizens. As far as I'm concerned they should be forever grateful for being allowed to come here and if they don't like it they can leave. This would require constitutional amendment though i believe so it's unlikely to happen.
America created the modern representative republican form of government, hardly any foreigners truly understand what it means to be an American. They can come here, have children and raise their children as Americans then their children can be the ones who can vote and hold office if they want.
No. This is garbage thinking that got us bullshit like minimum sentencing and generalized rulings.
There are people who were born elsewhere that bleed red white and blue and should be given a chance to prove it. Our system as it reads is fine. The problem is the enforcement or rather lack thereof. We are a melting pot society. If you want isolationism, there are plenty of separatist colonies you can flock to.
Prejudice just all around needs to die. I don't agree with your idea and reject it completely. We aren't any one person's idea of a country. We're 320 million individual ideas. Limited influence is the answer. Not granting the government more power to regulate citizenship.
I have to side with Camaro on this one. My mother was foreign born and came to this country in the early 1970's. She has worked her entire life with multiple jobs to raise two children on her own. She is more American than these native born BLM/Antifa and college attendees. She wouldn't hesitate to protect this country and die for it. She raised two extremely proud American patriots that served in the Army and the Navy. My sister became a police officer for over the last 20 years and died a police detective. I have served the Navy for 29 years and would die with a smile on my face for this country. My mother would be the best politician in the world because she doesn't lie, ever. She is coldly brutal with the truth and doesn't take shit from anyone. You can't bribe her or blackmail her. The only thing that would be leverage against her is me. First generation Americans generally love and respect this country because they know the shithole they left had no opportunities or freedoms. When they get that here, its like a drug that they will never give up willingly and fight to defend it.
Thank you for this perspective. It’s easy to judge when you don’t someone’s personal story. She sounds very inspiring!
The rest of my mom's brothers and sisters all came here later on. Every single one is hard working blue collar. They are all extremely conservative and love this country. They are all capitalists and have zero love for socialism and communism. Living across the border from China and North Korea tends to make people appreciate capitalism and a representative democracy. Kinda like the Cubans that made it here. They all seem to be extremely staunch conservatives.
Life isn't as simple as the evil shitheads want you to believe. SHould it be? Maybe. But it simply isn't...
Ok well I’m glad she’s in the minority but for the most part of your a fucking guest here the no way you are able to get elected or appointed to anything. We’re being invaded and overthrown and it’s a small price to pay for recent immigrants to fuck off and let true Americans run the shit. Sorry but not sorry.
Your true Americans were burning cities down and murdering other Americans while touting socialism. Legal immigrants were not. Your True Americans are raiding conservative homes/terrorizing peaceful demonstrators and setting up false flags and murdering innocent bystanders. Funny how none of these things are done by legal immigrants. I guess they were too busy working.
Lol. Where in the actual fuck do you get this conclusion from? A majority of legal immigrants are based and as for the ones that aren't, they're allowed to have their own opinions.
This has been proven to be nothing but GOP establishment talking points and propaganda used to gaslight idiots like yourself. Sadly, as you have displayed, it actually works. Who are you to decide who should be allowed in? Well thankfully you are no one. I took an oath to protect the rights of ALL Americans especially the ones who want to be here and are foreign. Don't like it? I don't fuckin care. I and many MANY others like me will oppose you supremist faggot types without hesitation. Your declarations are un-American and disgusting. This nation does not belong to you and other simpletons who actually think blanket bans are a good thing. They aren't. They show how intellectually challenged you are because you approach concept problems with sub-par basic math and thereby become part of the problem and NOT the solution.
You are free to continue to air your stupidity, but this country belongs to all Americans who are born here or immigrate here. Don't like it? You're free to get the fuck out.
This line of thinking has turned us into The United States of Brazil. Draw a line in the sand already
Lol. How so?
If you are speaking as someone living in deep blue bullshit, you're worldview is greatly distorted. I live in deep red MAGA country that is incredibly diverse and everyone gets along fine. Those who don't well... we have a Second Amendment for that...
America doesn't belong to the white man... or the black man... or the yellow man... or the pink man... or the red man... or the brown man... or the (insert whatever color here) man... it belongs to the American. Don't like it? Leave.
Who built it?
