Care to share what other policies of yours you happen to offshore to 19th century ethnic activists?
This country was built on the backs of immigrants and slaves which instills in me the belief that even more central than freedom, there is no ideal more core to the United States as a nation than immigration.
Know your place as an American. This has always been a country made up of immigrants, a melting pot. To suggest otherwise is anti-American. Anti-americans like yourself feel welcome because of who is in the white house, but make no mistake: you do not belong here with those beliefs.
There are many, many countries which aspire to a boring white hegemony. Go there, be happy, leave the Americans alone.
On HN of all places.
You do not love America. You love what you wish America would be. But what America is, is a country composed of immigrants; a melting pot. It's been that way since our very conception and continued into the 20th century.
And, given you do not love what America is, perhaps you do not belong here, and that's fine. As I've stated, there's plenty of white hegemony countries available.
I mean, frankly, I don't know how you could possibly think that's ever been America. Because where I grew up, it was always colorful, from my earliest memories.
And, to be clear, this is a second person you. This applies to everyone who holds these deplorable anti-American beliefs.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Some distant family, some friends, some friends of friends back home.
Fortunately, this is more or less expected in my culture and I can be sure my family and descendants will always have this safety net.
I hope for your sake that you are never in a situation where you need help though :)

This is hideous.
In principle, I am 100% with you. Pragmatically however, it's significantly more complex.
all laws, including immigration laws, should be enforced consistently and universally, and without bias. and the laws should be changed to make it much simpler and easier to immigrate especially if you are able to already secure employment, housing, and health insurance.
