Don’t think about yourself on this, think about who else it excludes, which is important. You could still be brought in to fill a role.

Fresh immigrants were never supposed to hold office, because there are supposed to be different ways of doing things here that take time to learn. Those ways were lost due to the natives being mass murdered by wars and immigrants being allowed to step in due to need.

It is what it is, but if we recover what we had, an acclimation period and a period of increasing loyalty are sensible as a general goal, and I do agree that due to how things have played out, a lot of immigrants do currently value what we have more than the natives. Divided loyalties are still a thing, though, and quite common. Think of all the “La Raza” (literally, “The Race”) people holding office. How does that look? That’s one of the least concerning issues rising from this.

Where would Michigan be now if there had been protections in place? California? New York?
