What "traditional values" are you talking about?

We're a nation of migrants; you don't get to rewrite history because it makes you mad.

The first immigration law passed in this country was a process for naturalization; it doesn't get more traditional than that.

Someone tell the 1066 Normans they were actually born in England.

Oh, and the Romans.

Oh, and the Saxons.

LookBehindYouNowAndThen , (edited )

Oh, I see.

You don't care about the truth.

It all makes sense now.

So when you said the UK isn't a nation of migrants you knew you were wrong?

Some people actually aren't afraid of history, to the despair of conservatives worldwide.

Also, what a fun admission that Europeans invaded the Americas. I'm sure you'll be logically consistent there.

LookBehindYouNowAndThen , (edited )

No, my logic is that we have a self-selecting population of highly motivated and ambitious people who want to be Americans.

To turn them away is foolish if you care about the economic and cultural wealth of the nation.

And you still haven't clarified what "traditional values" are opposed to immigrants; even the fucking Romans welcomed people into their citizenry.

LookBehindYouNowAndThen ,

I've worked shoulder to shoulder with them.

What's your point?

LookBehindYouNowAndThen ,

Yeah, traditional European cultures have historically been opposed to oppressing women, hating Jewish people, and executing gay people.

Nevermind that the most common slur for gay people is a reference to burning them alive, Jews were ejected from England in the Renaissance, and women were almost entirely restricted from positions of power.
