A Nation of Immigrants
PragerU via Youtube ^ | 08/20/18 | Michelle Malkin

The common narrative today is that after decades of globalism, hard-hearted Americans now seek to close the nation’s borders to new immigrants. But the truth is that the United States maintains the most generous immigration policies in the world. However, as CRTV host and author of Invasion and Sold Out Michelle Malkin explains, a few ill-conceived immigration policies are threatening to destroy the American Dream for Americans and aspiring Americans alike.

I really tried to listen all the way through, but as I read somewhere (here?) about a month or so ago ..... we are (were) not a nation of immigrants, but a nation of settlers.

Folks USED TO settle here, intent on leaving their native land and adopting a new one ... THOSE immigrants were settlers and welcomed with open arms.


What we have today is indeed a nation of invading immigrants with no intention of becoming American but in getting FROM America whatever they can get.

A descendant of an immigrant is not an immigrant. The “native Americans” came here from somewhere else.

The immigrants of the late 1800s and early 1900s were a boon to this country. When immigration from Europe was stopped by ted kennedy the country suffered.

After the second generation you are no longer an immigrant. We are not a nation of immigrants.

A nation of immigrants who came to contribute, not pilfer.

Agreed. When I was a kid, all of the immigrants I knew spoke English and were proud to be Americans. Now it feels like so many just move here but don’t assimilate.

Excellent point, concisely put by Mark Levin:

"We are not a nation of immigrants; we are a nation of citizens."
