Sure, I know lots of people like that. They don't complain about the same things. |
And here we go.......the true feelings about immigrants come out. Keep that verbal vomit going. |
I do find it frustrating. Especially when they somehow believe that everyone in America does things the same way, like in the more homogenous country they come from. Any statement that begins with “why do all Americans…” is going to be completely flawed in a country as giant and diverse as ours. Yes, there is a lot of junk food in America. And yet, there are also tons of Whole Foods and vegans. And tons of bodegas, and farmers markets, and food trucks. We contain multitudes.
Also, if you have citizenship here, guess what: you are now one of the Americans you complain about. |
What does your obviously racist stance have to do with people who are naturalized citizens and have just as much right to complain about anything and everything as you do? |
I'm not referring to legal immigration, which is a cornerstone of our country, but you are too dense to understand that. |
Yes, I sometimes do OP. But, it sounds like your husband is being mean to you. A spouse shouldn't use immigration status vs. the other. |
But in your original post you were. Don't run from it now. Re-read what you wrote. |
No, it is obviously not a racist stance, but you always want to throw out that word as a knee jerk reaction to the facts I have stated. It doesn't work. And I agree. People who are naturalized citizens have every right to complain and hopefully we can/ will work together to make what they are complaining about, if it reasonably makes sense, better. |
Oh really? Is that why you said "Or the immigrants who come here and expect to fundamentally change the values, holidays or traditions here." Which traditions are those? English, Polish, Italian, Irish, Chinese? All of those have been here for a very long time so which one specifically would you want to proclaim as the "official American tradition" "No, I don't believe that a VISA or a Green Card makes you just as American as people whose ancestors paid the price to develop the country. A nation is not just land." Considering slaves built of a lot of this country and your ancestors had little to do with it, I consider your stance to be highly ignorant. Also, please don't shy away from this comment now by claiming that "legal immigration is clearly fine." Based on this comment alone you clearly don't think so, so own it. |
Different poster. |
So why reply in defense of a poster before you if not to agree? |
No. Why would it?
Also: America is a continent (or two continents, depending on continent was defined in your geography class). The United States is the country OP refers to, I assume. |
I believe there are varying degrees to consider for that statement, again I did not write, but I will address. If the Taliban migrated here and wanted to establish sharia law, would you be for it? Even if enough Taliban extremists voted for it in their community? What if Hamas wanted to come here? Those are extreme examples, but the melting pot that is the US was never intended to allow immigration that fundamentally changes the United States. |
Why do you think they shouldn't prevail if they were the majority and were voted in democratically? Isn't that what our Constitution provides for? |
So you equate immigrants with differing cultures with terrorists. Got it. How about if Indian Hindus became a majority? Are they allowed to change the culture? |
