Colonials are immigrants.
Native Indians are the original settlers who gave names to their territories.
All other settlers after that time are non-native immigrants, regardless whether you call them colonials or conquerors.
That 14.3 % you cite is the number for 1 year. But 99.99 % of all US residents are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. All other definitions are “double speak”.
Okay, so this new Golden Age has begun.
What a tragedy so few know history enough to appreciate what an epochal train wreck their apathy has initiated.

I think George Orwell does a decent job of predicting the why and how:

Oh man. I love checking facts.
Accurate for 2023. Unusual for you Mike. It’s off the point though. A “nation of immigrants” means we are a nation of people who have immigrated here. 11% of citizens have at least one parent that is foreign born. I didn’t easily find 3rd generation, just a report that has “3rd generation and higher” which included EVERYONE ELSE!!! Native Americans are 2.6% but that would include some (many? ) that have a foreign born person in their ancestry.
Not sure how we aren’t a nation of immigrants, but we “take in four times as many”. As a percentage, we are not the highest. We are also large by landmass and by economy, so, not surprising.
Including most of the people you are counting as immigrants.
Red herring fallacy.
The problem people like yourself have, that this is a prosperous and just nation, so that’s why people want to come here, but then they want to do what once they get here?
Really?

But not the current President, he’s all about contempt for laws and standards.
Case in point, petty but most telling of what’s to come.
Why trump’s fundamental disregard for law, and contempt for people in general not bother people, makes for an interesting speculation.
But their children born here are not.
Many coming here today are gypsies, tramps and thieves.
*AI - the primary reason for the relocation of American Indians was due to the large influx of European settlers coming to America and desiring the land that Native American tribes occupied, particularly in the southeastern United States, leading to government policies like the Indian Removal Act which forced tribes to move westward to make room for white settlement; this process is often associated with the “Trail of Tears.”.
Yes, European immigrants who consisted of gypsies tramps and thieves desiring the land occupied by Native American Tribes, like the mariners who brought with them European diseases and caused the narrative you so honestly quoted.
The British and French nobility came later but they were slave owners and I think you will admit to the unspeakable acts of cruelty perpetrated on the slaves who were “imported as chattel”.
And then we have an unfolding story going on this very moment , the likes of which has never been told in the US but is a repeat of Roman and Greek history.
Yes, I see that I should have reread the statement. The point is that America is great because our people follow the rules of law. And that makes us look good and successful to people in other countries. I have heard that if we kept an open door, we would get two billion people coming here.
More than half of all Americans, including a quarter of Democrats, support the mass deportation of immigrants who are living in the country illegally, a new poll found.
We are against illegal immigration. That’s just like twist that Republicans don’t want abortion. It isn’t abortion, that is the problem. It is who must pay for the abortions that is the issue to most Republicans. The abortion issue is about creating an upper and lower caste of people. The Democrats think they are the upper caste and treat their voters as stupid people. Remember back in 2022 when 50 Venezuelans landed at Martha’s Vineyard. The true colors of the elite came out.
If you want to look at the moral side of illegal immigration. Just look at the unaccompanied minors coming to the U.S. In 2021 it was 122,731. 2022 the number was 128,904. It is all about the money.
Is it true that most people break a law every day without knowing it?
AI - Yes, it is considered likely that most people break a law every day without realizing it, due to the vast number of laws and regulations that exist, many of which are obscure or can be easily misinterpreted in everyday activities; legal experts often cite this phenomenon, with some estimating that the average person unknowingly breaks several laws daily.
Trump is just trying to reduce the number of laws and regulations so you don’t have to brake the laws every day.

Admittedly, my sentence was poorly constructed. You seem to understand the dilemma I was pointing to though. Your problem is you want to claim this country is messed up because of immigration, but we’re a country that has had many immigrants, each generation contributing to the greatness of it.
Like the Irish immigrants that were called vermin, and the Chinese immigrants that had special laws calling them non-citizens.
But we didn’t grow by two billion. So we’re controlling our borders, right? You’re making my case for me.
Mike, crazy making at its best, as usual.
Well, it was historic in the sense it was massively overdue. Let’s start with Donald Trump’s notorious statement in 2019, which lays the basis for his lawlessness day after day as president. He said, quote, “With Article II, I can do whatever I want as president,” end-quote. Really? But he went on to prove it, before 2019, when he made the statement, and after. … In the Mueller report, they outlined 10 major obstruction of justice against law enforcement in a very crude manner. There wasn’t any subtlety about it.
But what Trump has done, openly, brazenly — there’s nothing furtive, like Nixon, about Trump — is that in the White House, he set a historic record for defying over 150 congressional subpoenas. That’s criminal contempt. He got away with it.
He shoveled around billions of dollars from one program to another, most notoriously from military housing projects to extend the wall on the Mexican border. That is a violation of a criminal law called the Antideficiency Act. …
He used the White House as a political reelection base, had events there, openly, right on the White House lawn, and forced the Treasury Department to put his name on millions of checks going out during the pandemic to millions of Americans. That is a crime. It violates the criminal prohibition in the Hatch Act from using the power of the federal government against your electoral opponents. He got away with it. (not to mention Musk out one out buying votes)
It’s important to say also that all presidents violate laws. He’s just taken it to a new and diverse height. But he’s doing it so brazenly that if he gets away with it, he will continue to contribute to the institutionalization of lawlessness by presidents of the United States. …
This is not normal, nor does it promise anything but disaster for all, at the end of this billionaire driven transition into utter fascism for the once Proud and Free United States of America.
But you’ve always loved lies that will increase the corporate bottom line. Folks simply need to review your fallacious twisting and distorting Climate Science facts and figures, plus slandering serious competent scientists who are simply doing their job…
Trump is a bonafide traitor to the USA Constitution.
Rhymes with Bonfire of the vanities.

I didn’t say that we always followed the rules of law. If name calling the is your biggest problem with the past. Then the past was a lot better than today. Today we have 300,000 missing children in this country. And nobody gives a damn.
Thank Trump. The boarders are just one item of the many items that are not making our people feel safe. In a good civilization, the people should feel safe.
Killing people would be a bigger problem, for starters. The missing children is a lie.
Obama brought the numbers way down. The world economy would have caused just as much trouble for Trump, and it will. Check back here next year
For what?
I want you to show any fact that makes the US a better place to live in than before he took office, as they occur.
From his previous 4 years and continuing for the next 4 years, show me a single fact, other than a tax cut for the rich, that demonstrably has made your life better.
No rumors, affidavits, promises, and untruths. Show me when your life has factually improved as a result of a Trump action that you can thank him for.
The golden age has begun, let’s start labeling by America Indians as foreigners - then strong arm Mexico into accepting that?
Guess this new Administration really is all about ultimate White Supremacism.
How couldn’t so many Americans not realize the horrors that trump and his billionaire overlords would bring into this country?
How can so many embrace the politics of hate, grievance, revenge and terror, that this Administration has promised to turn our country into.
George Orwell has some fascinatingly clarifying thoughts on that question. But first an introduction to who the man was.
Let’s be direct and effective:
Someone who:
- who refuses to respect the rules of the rule of law
- who discriminates people, according race, sex, gender, nationality or others criteria
- who promotes scapegoats to attract the attention of the people while he is doing his dirty tricks,
is a fascist.
*who depends on accepting lies and bullying as a ways to a means,
*who enjoys inflicting fear and pain and harm upon others,
is a fascist.
