The immigrants that came in the beginning didn’t have their hands out, expecting the people already here to pay their way on everything. There are people born here, sometimes generations that spend their whole lives with their hands out, that isn’t American.

I have often said the same as you state to friends and family. The one of thing you didn’t say is that there were also white indentured servants who being slaves at least had a hope of being free, and that though it was a very rare occurrence, the black slaves did have a very slight chance of being freed if their owner made that decision. As for the new immigrants, we as Americans do not know who is coming across the border and we are afraid of what we don’t know. In all instances, legal and illegal, good and bad people are allowed in this country, we just aren’t aware of what the consequences may be. All that I am concerned with is that my way of life isn’t going to be taken from me. I lived in a house for over 20 years that most people, even welfare recipients, would not live in, until I was able to afford better. I saw people in my situation not liking people in better situations, and not liking people in the same situation, simply out of jealousy because they did not have the means, mental capacity, or opportunity to do better for themselves. My negative outlook about all of it is, don’t think that I am willing to just give you what I have or allow you to live better than me on my paycheck. I can’t help what happened to your ancestors, or mine for that matter (which were dirt farmers and migrants, and probably a thief or two).

The South Americans that are coming across the borders may be meek mannered but look at what they have accomplished, walking that far is more than most Americans can say they did on their own, so why can’t these people learn to organize and fight the way most present-day Americans have to do in this country to keep what is theirs. I understand that cartels have firepower that the underprivileged don’t have, but organize and get someone to lead that can help. In this country, most of us know where we can go and can’t go, and leave it to the government to make passage through those neighborhoods safe. I personally do not want to go through those places unless I have to. The point is, yes we live a good life in this country, but don’t try to take it away because in one form or another, we will fight to keep our lifestyle. Whether it is by scaring you away with a weapon, or by trying to pass laws that prevent people from having guns. We have, in this country, learned how to live side by side, with known or unknown criminals, people with different values, different races, and differences of many kinds. The families of the big land owners are giving up the land for the almighty dollar, so work and save for a better life. You don’t have to live off of what I have worked for. Work for your own, because in one way or another I will fight for what I have, be it a political fight, a gun fight, or what ever you have.

All facts Mr. Sanders! FBA/Freedmen are NOT immigrants in any sense of the word. All other groups either immigrated (what became a sovereign country) to or migrated to the land (before it became a country). We have a very unique position and circumstance unlike all other groups here. Totally agree that immigration (which is the VOLUNTARY act of leaving one’s own sovereign country to live in another one) needs to be controlled and not be subjected to open borders.

In reply to Michael R. Olson. Please define Sharia Law and the foundation of its principles. Also, I would like to know if you would discuss the FOUNDATION and/or ORIGIN of the Law by which we abide by here in the U. S. (Constitution and Bill of Rights)

The article is a bit flawed. The US was not “founded” on immigration, it was “founded” on slavery. Slavery and immigration are not the same. You are now the third black person to spin that B.S. narrative for seemingly the Democratic Party. Moving to another country BY CHOICE to seek a better life, is not the same as being SHACKLED AND CHAINED against your will and transported to this country in the underbelly of a ship. Realize that the rightful people here were native to this region, and not all of Mexico, Central, and South America, nor did they all flee to south of the border. Those Spanish city names (Las Vegas, Los Angeles) are from the Spaniards, not the “returning Hispanics” as you put it. Rafael Rivera was described as the first non-native American from Mexico to step foot in Las Vegas, meaning he was of Spaniard (European)descent. Immigration is fine but it should be controlled like all other countries.

Very interesting piece. I think I understood what the writer was trying to say. I am just wondering what he was trying to accomplish. Facts were presented. Was he asking for open borders that seem to be bringing in drugs, gangs, crime, refugees from nations that could obtain asylum much easier not here? Is it not risky to have wide open borders? So, writer, what do you want us to glean here? Do we complain or what can we do to deal particularly with the border mess? I know you may disagree but to my thinking America was the city on the hill and many immigrants indeed did begin it or capture it when they came, like my grandparents coming over here with no English skills, etc. But, they came to assimilate and not be desirous of bringing the old country with its weaknesses. They did not want Sharia law or a desire to abort children.
