      No thanks, we don’t want him back. Just drop him off the plane over the Atlantic if you must.

          Thiel was moved out of Germany when he was like 4. Either we admit that nurture is more important than the country of birth, or Hitler doesn’t count as German

      Trump always acts like his family was on the Mayflower. He’s a second gen American and all his wives are foreign born. He and his entire family are just as much of a foreigner as Omar.

        Some of my ancestors came to what’s now the US over a century before the Mayflower (they were conquistadors). It’s not an achievement and says nothing about how American I am.

        Trump’s unamerican not because of his ancestry, but because of his values and behavior.

          No, but they raise a point that if conservatives care so much about immigrants and ancestry then there is hypocrisy here. Obviously, because conservatism doesn’t function without it, but it’s still a direct response to something being screamed about.

        My family was on the Mayflower but if Ireland would like to take me back on account of the generational sin and all that I’d be happy to get on the plane.
