My brother in law has all sorts of semi-legal firearms. He also collects WWII stuff. I let him worry about the next apocalypse so I don't have to :)
I think my fascination with guns ended the day I tore a rabbit in half with a shotgun trying to protect my ex-wife's father's garden.

President Warren G. Harding signed into law the first Quota Act (1921). This law effectively ended America's open-door policy by setting monthly quotas, limiting admission of each nationality to three percent of its representation in the 1910 Census.

They literally just stamped your shit at Ellis Island and didn't even spell people's name right let alone verify they've "assimilated." The people coming didn't have jobs, houses or established communities. You're lucky if their infectious diseases were caught and stopped from coming in.
Yeah..they did that because they expected people to assimilate and provide for themselves.
You can cut the bullshit with the false equivalency between immigrants pre-FDR and immigrants post FDR as if there is no difference.
You're not going to fool many with that tripe.
More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island's half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there. Ellis Island waylaid certain arrivals, including those likely to become public charges, such as unescorted women and children.

The country was founded by migrants and government isn't supposed to provide.
well, you can blame FDR for fundamentally changing the way government operates.

I see. Why did you bother pointing out that the immigrants who built America were legal immigrants?
Because legal implies assimilation.

The acceptance of mass migration by a nation's leaders is a symptom of deep corruption and a complete inability to sustain the welfare of the citizens they are tasked to provide for.

In 370 AD hordes of Goths were camped on the Danube River pleading to cross into Roman territory. They were fleeing other barbarians, the Huns, who subjected them to abuse, hunger, enslavement, etc.
It was illegal for the Goths to enter Rome without permission. Rome's emperor wanted cheaper soldiers to expand his political reach, power, and wealth. He believed that if the Goths came into Roman lands, he could hire soldiers at lower wages.
Before long the weak-willed, greedy emperor acceded to Gothic pleas. The emperor authorized the Goths to cross the Danube, provided the men to leave their weapons behind.
When the Roman army officers facing the Goths saw how gullible and greedy their nation's elites were, they grabbed for lucrative profits. Working against Rome's best interests, Rome's corrupt officers turned the migrant crossing into a personal profit center. They allowed the male Goths to enter Roman ground fully armed and got Gothic wives, daughters, boys, slaves, personal goods, and livestock in exchange.
Thus began the collapse of the Roman Empire.
Newly hired Goth soldiers weren't too interested in fighting for Rome. They and their kin didn't intend to learn Latin or assimilate into the Roman culture. They were interested only in the safety and advantages of Rome.
Before long, the Roman benefits weren't appreciated and the Goths sacked Roman cities, followed by other barbarian tribes that entered rotten-to-the-core Rome, rampaging at will throughout the empire, killing, burning, and looting. The Dark Ages began. Tourists can see the results of Rome's experiment with mass migration. The fruits of mass migration are today called "Roman ruins."
In the here and now, highly placed leaders in the United States see similar opportunities to boost profits and power. They see cheaper labor and political clout available across a river or an ocean and insist that the U.S. should do as the Romans: open the borders and bring in the migrants.
Backers of uncontrolled migration falsely claim that it's our obligation and that we gain from a mass inflow of workers who will work for wages so low that America's lowest wage-earning citizens are pushed out of jobs and onto the public dole.
This, perversely, is a powerful way to boost the left's political clout. Americans are forced by judicial tyranny, executive fiats, and political gamesmanship to maximize non-citizen access to our extravagant "safety net" of housing, health care, education, food-purchase cards, and other benefits.
American citizens are called hard-hearted, unChristian, and economically illiterate if they object.
The Goth men traded their women and children. Men in Central American countries are also trading their women and children, sending them on potentially deadly 2,500-mile journeys to reach a border. Across that border is the rich, gullible United States of America, which is expected to enroll the travelers in the "public benefits" system and to disburse them around the United States to places where they swamp schools, health care, and all public facilities. Then their men will follow.
Migrants and refugees cross the Greek-Macedonian border near the town of Gevgelija on Feb. 19, 2016. European Union leaders meeting in Brussels piled pressure on Turkey to curb the flow of migrants to Europe in line with an aid-for-cooperation deal signed last year. Pressure to enforce the deal is growing as EU officials say thousands of migrants are still crossing the Aegean daily from Turkey after more than one million made the perilous journey last year in the greatest such movement since World War II.
In Europe, the migrant flow is somewhat reversed. In the war zones of the Middle East, young, able-bodied Muslim men should be fighting for and protecting their wives and children where they live. But they don't. They abandon their kin in the killing fields, escaping in a trek of hundreds of miles to Europe.
Recently, a group of Spanish welcomers picked up a boatload of migrants, some of whom had traveled 5,400 air miles half-way across Asia and the entire length of the Mediterranean Sea to get into rich, inept, and looney Europe. They are embraced into the western world's super-generous social benefits system. After obtaining complete access to Europe's gifts, violent demands and aggression follow against the Europeans who provide them.
Over-ruling European citizens' wishes, the European Union's ivory-tower, want-to-be-dictators order all its member nations to give full citizenship privileges to the uninvited invaders. This is very much the pattern for the United States of America in the 21st century.
The suicide of the culture of the West proceeds apace.

If the legal status of immigrants is what determines their utility to America, just make them all legal :)

No teacher in the history of college has ever said that
Liberals are not wrong about everything.
You must not live in Detroit.
On the good side, if you want to live in a semi-anarchy with a barely functional government and pervasive degentrification, then Detroit may be the Mecca for you!
I mean Someone's trash is another person's treasure. Amirite?
That's a pretty nonsensical position considering the U.S. is a nation built by immigrants.
Legal immigrants. The African slave's contribution to America was burned to the ground by Sherman in the late 1800's. So much for dat narrative.

There needs to be a limit somewhere
200 years ago, the rubes of the past thought the same exact thing about Africans. You have to "draw the line"
History has proven that lines are arbitrary. Especially where it comes to cultures anthropomorphizing things. Did you know Americans spend over 75 Billion dollars annually on dogs simply because their doggie faces remind them of a person? In other cultures, dogs are just flat out tasty.

@HistoryBuff
That's not for you to decide. If cultures wanna anthropomorphize a fetus, they are going to do it. Cultures have anthropomorphized far more ridiculous things.
200 years from now they will likely label your thinking as typical of a backward ignoramus, just as we today mock the rubes of the past.

But asking a woman to give up control of her body because she has a cluster of cells that might one day become a person is a bit ridiculous.
200 years ago people thought the idea of slave owners being forced to give up control of clumps of African bioform property was ridiculous as well.

I suppose, but 200 years ago people would have said it was nonsense to consider an animal with human DNA from Africa to be a person and not property. Times change.

You should not have the right to legislate what she can do with her own body.
There is a point where it is no longer permissible for a woman to claim a fetus as property.

It's funny but the results of DP1/NP1 really decided whether tp or scum or town was going to have a big advantage. Wild setup.
