Shall I continue?
Yes, immigrants did found America. I’m not sure why this is controversial. Every single one of these folks took risks to come from the old country to start a life in the new country. By taking these risks, their children and their children’s children eventually became the folks that signed the declaration of independence and the founders of the country.
If these folks did not take the chance, then America as she became would not have became what she did.
Screw the rule of law, we don’t need no stinkin’ rule of law..isn’t that right?
And you are pleased to conflate the Founders of this nation with the illegals who today pour across the border on a daily basis?
If you don’t know or refuse to understand the difference between illegal immigrants and colonists, there can be no rational discourse with you.
