Clinton’s statement is significant because it suggests that, according to polling data, Clinton views an overwhelming majority of the American electorate to be “fundamentally un-American.” According to data from Pew Research Center, 83% of the American electorate would like to see immigration levels frozen or reduced.
Clinton’s declaration describing those who want to limit immigration as “unAmerican” came in the context of her urging action on “immigration reform.”
“Immigration reform is so important,” Clinton told the Wall Street executives, as she demanded that Congress “get immigration reform done.”
By “immigration reform,” Clinton was referring to the 2013 Rubio-Schumer proposal, which she supported and which would have granted immediate amnesty and eventual citizenship to millions of illegal aliens, would have doubled the annual admission of foreign workers, and would have dispensed 33 million green cards to foreign nationals in the span of a single decade despite current record immigration levels.
Clinton went on to suggest that those who oppose such dramatic expansions to immigration are “fundamentally un-American”:

Indeed. Eliminating the Diversity Lottery Visas, drastically reducing refugee/asylum visas, and eliminating chain family migration (by abolishing the adult-married child and adult sibling categories)would knock the number down by at least a couple hundred thousand a year. That wouldn’t be enough, but it would be a good start towards an ideal end where the overall legal numbers are eventually capped somewhere between 200,000 to 400,000.
Even some of the Chamber of Commerce-owned Republicans support some of these measures (though they’d probably like to reallocate any cut visas from one category to another, with the result being no decrease).
Some time in the not too distant past, weren’t immigrants from European countries limited in favor of those from third world countries?
I am both descended from immigrants an married to an immigrant, all legal, and I am very much in favor of controlling immigration. So is my immigrant, citizen wife.
Clinton is fundamentally un-American. She wishes to dissolve our borders and refuse to enforce immigration laws.
Hillary wants to be the American Merkel.
This “thing” is a uniparty one-world traitor fascist wretch.
“During her Goldman Sachs speech, Clinton went on to argue that being “American” is not a national identity, but rather is “an intellectual invention.”
“American was an invention,” Clinton declared. “It was an intellectual invention, and we have done pretty well for all these years. And these people want to just undermine that very profound sense of who we are. And we can’t let them do that. So it’s not just about politics or partisanship. It really goes to the heart of what it means to be American.”
Clinton’s declaration seems to echo a sentiment that has been expressed by mass migration enthusiast Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Paul Ryan, like Clinton, has previously suggested that America is not a country or a national identity, but is rather an intellectual idea.
“America is more than just a country,” Ryan said just a few months before Clinton delivered her speech to Goldman Sachs. “It’s more than Chicago, or Wisconsin. It’s more than our borders. America is an idea. It’s a very precious idea.””
nope, definition of american.
