 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. 
 But their return to their borders after having traveled, risking their lives and filled with dreams, seems like a better option to you? 
 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. 
 Oh thank you Temecula. Very kind
