All Net Jobs Growth Has Gone To Illegal and Legal Immigrants

So according to ajax, if your ancestors weren't those immigrants who fought in the Revolutionary War... you're an immigrant.

...the Center for Immigration Studies defines, 'immigrant', as anyone who is not a Native American.

I bet the Center for Immigration Studies is funded by our tax dollars as well. Getting paid to produce propaganda labeling 12th generation born Americans as European immigrants. How is he an immigrant if he's never even been where they say he immigrated from?

I guess that makes nearly 99% of US citizens wetbacks. We should pack them all up and ship them back to the countries their ancestors came from.

Ajax claims one ancestor in the revolutionary war (I wonder what side he fought on). That is 0.000125% percent of his ancestry. Clearly not enough to qualify. He should be the first on the boat back home.

The CIS is a Right Wing propaganda outfit whose mission is to reduce immigration. That's right up your alley.

quasi, every statement Ajax makes about this immigration thing contradicts the last one.

"How is he an immigrant if he's never even been where they say he immigrated from?"

My great grandparents on both sides immigrated to the US, but how can I be the immigrant Ajax says I am, if I've never been to either place where I've allegedly immigrated from?

No, just let them all in and put it on the tab. Our grandchildren can work a little over time or become Chinese slaves to pay for our failure to stop the spending.

I did not claim only one ancestor. I said one was enough.

That is 0.000125% percent of his ancestry. Clearly not enough to qualify. He should be the first on the boat back home.

The way things are going in this country you might want the ticket out of here for yourself.

Questioning the Center for Immigration studies definition of immigrant doesn't mean I can't hold a different view of what an immigrant is.

I think ajax has painted himself into a corner trying to defend his earlier indefensible statements. He is sort of flailing tonight.

It's obviously pointless to try to define a person's immigrant status by what happened a hundred or three hundred years ago. But then, that's ajax.

No! I'm quite happy here. Especially since I know that you are working hard to pay for my government entitlements.

You are the one that sounds ready to leave. I know there are some nasty little countries in Central and South America that have a much purer form of Capitalism than we have here that you would just love.

Maybe the best part for you is that there are few illegal immigrants in those countries because no one is interested in sneaking into them.

The law is written by the conqueror not the conquered.

Yes. Interesting is that those conquerors before, during, and after the Revolutionary War never agreed with you. Just as the majority today does not. When your children or grandchildren are outnumbered lets hope they(the majority) will be more kind then our European conquering ancestors were to the indigenous populations.
