Democrats and the media (same thing) do whatever they can to conflate legal immigration and illegal immigration. That's why you'll always hear them refer to "immigrants" and not "illegal aliens" — which, by the way, is like calling a black person a slave. It's not a pejorative… It's a legal term to describe someone who is here illegally.
Earlier, I wrote a piece on Aber Kawas, a Palestinian activist whom Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani has endorsed for the New York State Assembly. What she learned while earning her master's degree in Islamic Liberation Theology (seriously?) was that America was kind of asking for it on 9/11 after all of the genocide it had spread during colonization.
Speaking of colonies, I was today years old when I learned that the founders were immigrants. To what country? I don't know, as there wasn't an America yet.
The Founders of America were literally immigrants.

NARRATOR: They literally were not.

I'm seeing more and more posts on X suggesting that people who weren't born in the United States shouldn't be allowed to serve in office. I think that goes a little far, but I also know you get what you vote for, and if you vote for an immigrant from Somalia who waves a Somali flag while running for office in Minneapolis, that's what you'll get — someone loyal to Somalia. (Fortunately, things didn't turn out that way … Minneapolis got the less sucky of two bad options.)
As far as the requirement that the president of the United States be born in America, I'm good with that.
But this idea that the founders were literally immigrants is just stupid.
You always strive for the dumbest statements. Job well done.

They were literally settlers, not immigrants.

Settlers and immigrants are not the same

No, they were “literally” here before the country was even founded.

They founded the country, for which I don't think they get enough credit these days. They set up a solid foundation that has needed only a few tweaks here and there throughout our history.
- "Immigrant" does not mean "someone who moves from one place to another" - The vast majority of signers if the Declaration were born in the American colonies.

They weren't immigrants.
No, they weren't:

I shouldn't have to give history lessons all day. Illegal immigrants are not legal immigrants. Laws matter.

Conservatives still welcome legal immigrants. It's just astounding how many people chose to immigrate to a country that's so rife with capitalism, racism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, etc.
