It's weird to hear Left people extolling heavy immigration with: "immigration is traditional and therefore not to be questioned". We all know they shit on traditional wisdom.

since Craig Walrath is much richer than he used to be, surely he has room for 20 Somalis at his home permanently. Unless he's racist

With the closure of the continental frontier, America started looking harder for overseas possessions (typical in the era) hence Spanish-American War. There were contemporary claims that the Civil War was divine punishment for the Mexican-American War.

If someone argued that certain curious emergencies in the 20-21st century were Divine Punishment for the Spanish-American war, it might be much harder than typical Americans might expect to argue against that point.

Drop the dolt act, there are thousands of other examples of things we did/policies we had in the past that we no longer do/have today bc, wait for it, it’s a different time. Funny how you don’t cite the Immi Act of 1924 or Chinese Exclusion as the historical precedents to uphold

Additionally, we aren't beholden to history in this way. My ancestors choices do not constrain my thoughts regarding the well being of nations. If I decide mass immigration is bad on its own terms, it really doesn't matter whether or not I am a product of it.

There is quite a bit about the Great/Second Wave of immigration that gets left out of the Narrative. For one thing, may Southern European immigrants went back--something like 50,000 Greeks during the Balkan Wars alone.

How did illegal immigration play out for the American Indian. How did illegal immigration play out for the Palestinians ? How did illegal immigration from Spain play out for South America? Legal, illegal, immigration that changes demographics changes the invaded state.

Interestingly enough, this is a part of the reason as to why I support a U.S.-Canada union even today--specifically, more living space for the American people.

So, we should have captured Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in 1890. Who would have thought?
