    They are only a small part.  If they can come here and contribute and not be drains and desire to become citizens the correct way then more power to them.  Welcome.
    Just like it reads on the Statue of Liberty!

    The Statue was installed before the founders could imagine such a high powered welfare system.  Is that how it goes?  

    And before someone goes derp I know it was installed much later.

    Seeing how they owned slaves I’m guessing poverty was far down the list of concerns. Applying modern day values to 18th century values doesn’t compute. Picking and choosing what we think the founders wanted to prop up one side of an argument doesn’t work either.

    The Constitution was installed before the founders could imagine such a high powered guns.  Is that how it goes? 

    ...the doublethink is strong with you unsung...

    Cherry-picking when you want to adhere to your originalism philosophy, sad!

    ...oh I get it....

    You're trying to create some sort of equivalence between what created America (too many immigrants),  and what is destroying America (too many guns)

    Guns aren't what is destroying America.

    Right, people like you are. Now put the dog whistle down.

    Is it possible that, to some extend, we're all a part of the problem?
