Do you really think that every immigrant who came to the US during the gold rush cleared customs at the port of NY and applied for residency?

from the start of the US until today, way more people have been born in the USA then have immigrated.

So American born people far out number the wave of immigrats. The US is not a nation of immigrants, it's a nation of Americans.

Nice try! Trying to make people believe that the US was built by immigrants. It's built by Americans and will continue to be built by Americans. Immigrants are just a small minority compared to born Americans

have you heard about Trump's birth right citizenship order? He literally wants to deport children born in the United States.

Sure I heard it and it’s rubbish

Your claim is misleading. Trump’s proposal wasn’t about “deporting children” but challenging the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which grants birthright citizenship.

The real issue is birth tourism, where people come to the U.S. just to have a child and gain citizenship. Ending birthright citizenship for children born to non-citizens would help close this loophole, ensuring citizenship is for those with a genuine connection to the U.S. It’s about protecting the integrity of our laws, not being cruel, and addressing a system that can be exploited.

We support Trump. We don't want foreign scammers coming to the US simply for citizenship

The immigrants in the 1800s didn't get the insane amount of free handouts of today. Put out a saucer of milk and you attract more cats? Usually.

Complex problem, though...

Well, that's not the immigrants fault but the administrations fault
