Should foreigners be allowed in the US?

[XemaSab]

Everywhere you go there are foreigners and the descendants of foreigners. I say we kick 'em all out.

Unless someone's parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents, and so forth were born here, they should just be thrown out on their foreign asses.

Why bother keeping foreigners out of the presidency if the streets are going to be choked with them?

I say if someone has one drop of foreign blood, put 'em on a boat and send 'em back where they came from!

14. My work here is done

[tularetom]

2. You should run for president!

[pampango]

3. Agreed. Foreigners are fundamentally different from Americans. We are exceptional. They are not.

Besides they talk 'funny' and their passports don't look 'right'.

The "Know Nothings" of the 1840's had it right. Can't trust them foreigners.

[darkangel218]

4. Lmao!!!

[cloudbase]

30. They use that silly metric system, too. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

6. It's just so much easier to ban them from the White House...

We've already built walls at the Mexican border and that hasn't worked. We can't stop all the Haitian boats or Indian students overstaying visas...

And do you have any idea how many illegal Irish live in the Bronx?

So, the Framers in their infinite wisdom made it illegal for these furriners to be President, foreseeing the day when we could have, say, a naturalized Mexican run for President and win.

But, yes, if you didn't have an ancestor here during colonial times-- get out and make room for REAL Americans.

[treestar]

10. LOL

[hifiguy]

11. Shit no.

No more great ethnic restaurants??? You will take my pho and pad Thai away from me when you pry the utensils out of my cold dead fingers.

[dissentient]

16. Nice satire

but to be serious, maybe we should take another look at how easy it is for people to enter this country illegally, and not make it so easy for them to waltz on in. There should be much better border control, IMHO.

[FSogol]

28. Border control & waltzs? Are you channelling Fox News? Most people who are here

illegally came into the country legally and over stayed their tourist or student visa. All the border control in the world wouldn't fix that.

[Runningdawg]

17. That's nice to hear

I suppose we can look forward to a full-blood Native American POTUS in 16?

[madinmaryland]

19. Technically, everyone living in North America is a foreigner...

Everyone, including Native Americans migrated to this continent at some time.

Shit, let's just let the squirrels and otters run this country.

[arcane1]

21. If the squirrels and otters drifted here from Pangea, they're in!

[NightWatcher]

20. Unless they bring chocolates, food, or alcohol from their respective countries, Hell no.

It's rude not to show up without a gift.

[Lilliy7]

22. OF COURSE

We learn from them and they learn from us , not everyone in this world is bad or should be discriminated against

[panader0]

26. Welcome to DU!

This post, of course, was sarcastic.

[seveneyes]

23. America is unlike our homes

Welcome is relative.

[HuckleB]

24. And send all that FIRIN FOOD with them!

Dang FIRINIRS!



Sarcasm smilie added for apparent reasons, after looking at some posts above.

Hmmmm.

[hunter]

25. I'd make the cutoff date 1900.

All my ancestors were here in North America by then.

A few friends and in-laws might choose a pre-Columbian date.

[HereSince1628]

27. Well this whole new fangled upstart United States thingy

didn't go over all that well with 'my people' out on the east end of Long Island.

They risked everything to find something NICE, set up a trade, invest in shipping between Haiti and Bermuda, and do a little pirating on the side--just to get through tough times, ya know, there wasn't REALLY anything criminal about it...everybody did it--and before a few generations can live in peace and prosperity....

The entire place is BLOODY CROWDED with FOREIGNERS ACTING LIKE TERRORISTS and running around TOO IMPATIENT to just let things take their natural course and wait until England grows beyond it's need to have a monarch!

And the things they worry about?? Low class, Tea-partiers!!! Too Cheap to pay taxes... TAKERS, never givers.

They wrecked the place...have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA OR INTEREST IN GOVERNING in a proper way with Lords bred for that work! Republicanist hooiganism...the place was destined from the start to fall into corrupt hands of people doing anything to make shilling.

Yes, please. Send all blighters back!

[DeSwiss]

29. Yeah! Kick 'em all out!!!

[Algernon Moncrieff]

31. I am sick to death of hearing "Urgent" and "I Want to Know What Love Is"

..but no, Foreigner should be allowed to remain in the US.
