Oddbean new post about login | logout No, we’re not. I am not an immigrant. My parents were not immigrants. My grandparents were not immigrants. The original Europeans were settlers. They fought damn hard to secure this place and they did not intend it to be open for everyone
I’ll give it to you though we did steal it from the Indians that’s for damn sure.
We not only took the land, expelled them, killed and plundered them, but also married their daughters and killed their entire family to seize their wealth.
I agree. I live in a part of the country where the Native Americans and their struggles are memorialized. What they went through was tragic however, that’s the past. Can’t go backwards. We got to protect what is ours. You included. I’ll protect you. I mean you’re so damn pretty and all
Could you then specify from which year you want to remove immigrants: 1900, 1950, 1990, 2010, or 2020? This is merely a selfish request and not at all fair. What is being sought here is something that is simply not right; it repeats an injustice done in the past and shows no awareness of treating people humanely.
I appreciate your generous and loving heart. It’s very attractive. I wouldn’t want any legal immigration from the past to be revoked. I’m not talking about legal immigration. I’m talking about illegal immigration, which is what is happening. In addition to that, so many of these immigrants are suffering horribly they have been sold a bill of goods they have been given promises by our government that are not being kept. In addition, it’s reported that there are 325,000 children that are missing. Many of them are being sold or given to sex rings. Horrible!
If you're not a Native American, you're just an old immigrant. 🤷🏻♀️
The pilgrims and the English after them were settlers not immigrants when they came here they created everything that we have. The laws, the culture, the government everything. That’s not immigration. Now we allow immigration but traditionally it’s been slow not all at once. The people who are allowing it all at once, the various motivations
Well it is true, the first people who came to America cannot simply be considered immigrants looking to eat ducks; they came to steal and eat people. Just like Spain, which stole 1/4 the world's gold.
Yeah, the Spaniards were bad ass. I sometimes think about it you know I don’t know how right it is to judge generations from the past with our morals today. They probably just thought what they were doing was OK.
Even the immigrants eating ducks think that what they are doing is right.
I’m sure they do. This is not their fault. This is bad government and bad policy. These poor people have been sold a bill of goods to benefit only these dirty politicians.
Do you live here in the United States? You’re too beautiful to be an American.
Thanks, I know.. I’m not American, I’m from Italy.
I knew it I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I wish I could speak Italian. I would tell you you are so beautiful.
