Reply to comment by OilGlittering7034 in Adams: 'Right-to-shelter' law doesn't extend to migrants by Shreddersaurusrex

Nah what’s crazy is his family touched down 30 years and he wants his undocumented mom to be valid because immigrants built this country? Native Americans has a pretty big hand in that but how much contribution do you want credit for if your family has been here 30 years?

I'm a construction worker. I currently build this country. No clue, by his logic, why my immigrant wife and I are wasting our time and money getting her citizenship legally 🤷

And my mom is now a permanent resident thank you very much. And if you’re going to make the argument that American Indians have been here first, why do you feel that you have a say in who can become a citizen/permanent resident here then? I’m confused.

No, you’re emotionally connected, not confused. The United States of America is not the same as the nations the existed here before. Did those nations have infrastructure, agriculture, education and governmental services? Yeah absolutely. Then. Colonizers gonna colonize though so now those nations aren’t the ruling governments anymore. The United States has a say btw, not me.

If you’re a Trump supporter, please just start with that. Your views are literally in align with Trump. That’s says a lot. It’s funny how the internet brings out the ugly in people.

But let me try and dissect what you’re saying because honestly those ‘’illegal immigrants’’ can string a coherent sentence with better grammar than you can lol.

And it doesn’t matter if the US was colonized, the American Indians were here first so shouldn’t they have a say in who can become a citizen? If you’re going to ask me how much could my mother really have contributed if she was only here for 30 years, then how much could the colonists have really contributed if they weren’t here as long as the American Indians if that makes sense. And the whole point of me mentioning the fact that the US was built on the labor of immigrants is to point out that the US was always meant to be accepting of those who wanted freedom from religious persecution, freedom of speech etc. Undocumented immigrants should be given the chance to become a naturalized citizen. Canada hasn’t faced any negative outcomes with their lenient immigration policy so confused on what the bitching is about.

You’re arguing your feelings. I don’t care. Super bad call on the Trump support btw… no point in engaging further, you just need to other me into some group you disagree with. I’m good.
