"Really? This nation was not populated (with the exception of the Indians) by people migrating from faraway lands?"
Why give the Indians exception? They migrated here too at some point, as did every human that now takes up residence in the western hemisphere.
As far as the "nation of immigrants" BS, as the articles says, 90% of those who live in this country were born here and were NOT immigrants. We are a nation of natural born American citizens with a few immigrant American citizens.
Personally, I'd be willing to kick in that extra 21 cents for the knowledge that a head of lettuce hadn't been picked by some foreign guy who risked his life to get here just so he could be dicked over by some giant agribusiness corporation.
Well, now, that's calling a spade a spade....
So hard to evoke sympathy for those who would kick an American to the unemployment line to replace him (or her) with illegal tax-drainers for the sake of marginal profit gain. Of course, almost all of them can now cite that their competitors are doing this and they have to do the same in order to survive. What this argument skips over is our government's GLARING disinterest in enforcing labor law preventing this from developing in the first place.
Winking and nodding our way to the corrupt Mexican standards and practices. Gotta get some Kwick-Crete to cement busted glass on the walls...that's so classy.
Specifically, which clause are you refering to?
There is no anchor baby clause, it’s another over stated lie.
Crab bate is held in place by anchors too.
