Why "America first"?

LOL double standards

Oh look the dumb gorilla showed up. Has nothing else to do I guess.

Why are you saying immigration is destroying the world?

Because he's a rancid bowl of prawn juice masquerading as a human.

I must have picked up that disease from Canada, seems a lot of that is going around up there in the place no one cares about. We like Mexico more then we do Canada down here. At least the Mexicans want work.

So we get it, he said immigration was bad, but had ancestors that immigrated.

So if he had ancestors that were slave owners and he said slavery is bad..is that a double standard too?

Are you saying that people immigrating into America, and founding the US, was a bad thing?

I simply was wondering if we apply the genius logic of "you best agree with the shit your ancestors did" to everything or not.

To answer your question no I don't think it was a bad idea. But you see the world was a vastly different place at that time.

That's what I said about gun rights 😖hifty:

Which would also be true: when the 2nd amendment was written the country was a vastly different place.

There was a time when this country desperately needed immigrants so of course we welcomed them with open arms.

That immigration is no longer viable in today's world is a different point entirely. But what do you mean by that anyway?

So immigration makes sense when we dont have the jobs for the people that are currently living here?

Time will tell if George Friedman was right or not. He argued that as this century wears on, and Western birth rates plummet, we'll be fighting over immigrants just to maintain our own numbers.

But seeing as you appear to agree in this case with "the shit your ancestors" did, that makes the comparison rather faulty. If you approved of the slavery committed by your ancestors and then came out saying slavery today was bad, you would be a hypocrite yes.

But it doesn't make the comparison faulty because I'm talking about how in general this logic is f*cking stupid. Because your ancestors immigrated here doesn't mean you need to be okay with immigration as it currently is. It by no means makes one hypocritical.

That immigration is no longer viable in today's world is a different point entirely. But what do you mean by that anyway?

My point is the situation isn't so black and white that it's valid to say "well we are a nation of immigrants" as *any* kind of defense against someone talking against immigration.
