How many tired or poor huddled masses are breathing free in your home, oh gracious one?
Care to share what other policies of yours you happen to offshore to 19th century ethnic activists?

That "19th century ethnic activist" was born in the US after her family emigrated here more than a century prior fleeing the Inquisition. Her activism was aiding refugees entering New York as they fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe. My ancestors entered this country in the 19th century though that "golden door" as "poor huddled masses" fleeing those same pogroms. I admire that "ethnic activist" not locking the door behind her just because her ancestors happened to make the journey in a prior generation and therefore I echo that mindset. For me, being anti-immigration would be like spitting on all their graves.
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.
Right, so don't answer any of the questions and just get on your soapbox about how persecuted your special interest group is. What a shocker the rest of the country is growing tired of your antics.
You blow an impressive dog whistle.

The rest of the country is also made of immigrants, if not their generation than one past. That includes white people, and that includes me, a white man.
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.

During my lifetime, about 30.
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 :)
Get a load of this guy. His culture values friends and family. I bet they eat meals together too. Aren't you special and unique?
You certainly are

This is hideous.
Thank you

Well, why are you posting on HN instead of manning the border? Or are you "offshoring" immigration enforcement to someone who doesn't sit behind a keyboard on a Saturday afternoon?
To own the libs, what else?
I actually do harbor an immigrant family in my home! But I admit I am an outlier.
