Lindsey Graham to Americans: Your Country Belongs to the World
Breitbart ^ | 12 Jan 2018 | Neil Munro

Posted on 01/13/2018 2:19:23 PM PST by Cheerio

America is not owned by Americans and their children but is instead held by people all over the globe, according to a statement from amnesty advocate Sen. Lindsey Graham.

“I’ve always believed that America is an idea [which is] not defined by its people but by its ideals,” Graham said in a press statement January 12 which sought to criticise President Donald Trump for describing some foreign countries as less pleasant than America, or as “shitholes.”

Graham continued:

The American ideal is embraced by people all over the globe. It was best said a long time ago, E Pluribus Unum – Out of Many, One. Diversity has always been our strength, not our weakness. In reforming immigration we cannot lose these American Ideals.

Graham was a founding member of the 2013 “Gang of Eight” pro-amnesty group and has frequently urged the importation of more cheap labor for his home-state companies.

E pluribus unum means the exact opposite of diversity.

The Founders limited immigration to their own natural kind....that's what naturalization means, The government illegally unnaturalized the country. image The same kindred is naturalization.....UnKindred is UnNaturalization. image

If I should ever have the opportunity, I would love to debate the esteemed Senator on his worldview.

Can you imagine him crying in a fetal position? HA!

...

Not by the trash we’ve been allowing to come here the past 50 years. Immigration needs to be merit based again.

Lindsey, you are not a genius, or superior, better, more informed, more enlightened, or more relevant than your trash collector, your postal carrier, your plumber, or anyone you may or may not think is less than you because you are a member of that flawed institution called the US Senate. Get that out of your inflated head. It would not be difficult finding someone more qualified than you, or ANY elected US official for that matter, just by spending a few days at any convenient store in the US. That’s not emotion-driven rhetoric. That’s actually an unequivocal fact - and if you have the courage I would be happy to publicly demonstrate this to you.

In the context of that fact, you have a responsibility to do your job with humility, and to understand that your job doesn’t extend beyond service to the US and its citizens. No one elected you a representative of the world. You’re not exceptional. You’re a worker, hired to do a job, and not to pursue your own agenda.

America, and the Constitution that our founders wrote to keep us on track, is predicated on the sanctity of the individual. We are about individual freedom and self-determination. The desires of globalists are irrelevant in that context. That’s not to say that the best way for us to conduct ourselves is to be selfish and insular. However, reaching out beyond ourselves, helping others, and however we interact with the world ‘community’ is a personal choice - a personal choice protected by our Constitution. If you don’t understand that you aren’t qualified to hold any public office - and given the general quality of your colleagues in public office that is a very, very low bar.

Someone needs to show Lindsey the Naturalization Act of 1789 if he thinks America was founded on an ideal of racial diversity.

Most poofters have been involved in child molestation at some point in their lives. I hope anyone molested by him would come forward and expose this perv for what he really is.

Iran said the same thing recently. You know Obama and the Dems believe this. The average American walking the street is pathetically ignorant.

“E Pluribus Unum”

They were referring to the union of the States.

The people were pretty much all the same at the time.
