"I am curious as to why the founding fathers, jefferson, washington, franklin, etc. are legal immigrants and people whom you don't like are not. Basically, these guys got in a boat and just showed up and presto, they were legal, while after 1920 or so, you could not do that."

Where did you get your information? And where are you coming from with this kind of comment? The following are facts regarding the three "founding fathers" you slander:

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706 to a tradesman and a homemaker,

George Washington was born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family.

Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743 in Albermarle County, Virginia.

No boats. Not immigrants. Americans by birth. Immigration and Naturalization law is based in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 states: "The Congress shall have power...to establish a uniform rule of naturalization...". Immigration and Naturalization law began a long time before 1920.

And are you not aware that the Constitution establishes certain criteria that must be met for one to become President of these United States? It is found in Article 2, Section 1: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."

This land, this country, is ours; it belongs to We The People of these United States. It is by grace that we extend privileges of immigration to those not born here. Immigration is not a "right" except as we choose to grant it. Those who choose to come into this country illegally have no rights.

Now that we have all that stated, what is your real beef? Whom should we be letting into this country without regard to immigration law? Why would you not want controls on immigration?

And where are you coming from with this kind of comment?

I am convinced that a good percentage of open border advocates are fixated on race themselves, meaning they don't like the racial makeup of the country as it is, and assume that anyone who disagrees with their point of view must be doing must be similarly motivated. Its called "reflecting".
