with all due respect immigrants did not build America.
Is this a new talking point now?
The problem is that Thecoli is not quite understanding what that actually means and are instead using it for their own agendas.
When you hear MOST people say "immigrants built America", they're really referring to the early European settlers and their slaves -- who shouldn't be considered immigrants but are for some reason.
The point of the "immigrants built America" argument is to say that because this land never belonged to these settlers in the first place, everyone should be allowed to come in. Not saying I agree or disagree.
MOST people making that argument are not, for example, claiming that Somalis and Nigerians and Venezuelans literally built America.
Thecoli is basically arguing against a claim that no one is truly making. HOWEVER, the anti-FBA crowd on thecoli are also here DEFENDING a claim that no one is truly making.
So, it's just nikkas arguing for the sake of it. Again.
