Isn't the US technically a country of "foreigners"? iirc europeans went there, killed almost all the bisons and indigenous people and settled. Why are they so mad at foreigners now?

Because they read and watch the news, which directs their anger hither and thither
Many europeans have the same problem. Always looking for a scapegoat..
Many Brits too! I know more than a few who would prefer to blame their own problems on the foreign man, as blaming someone else is always the easier option, albeit the more cowardly one.
Some of my elder relatives, who had to migrate from Spain to France and Switzerland to get out of poverty and a devastated country have this view too. Sad.
It's not a country of foreigners. It's a country of Americans with many illegals roaming around.
That's why it's called xenophobia. Fear of things that are different. But it's just fear at the end of the day. These people have been so destabilized by fiat that they are so scared and they not sure why. Foreigners is a easy scapegoat.
:110percent: fear is the mind killer. easy to control the masses when they are scared.
Something I never understood and probably never will.
I travelled so much and lived in so many countries. I've come to believe that we're all foreigners. Tio, vete al pueblo mas cerca de la tuya y ya eres "de fuera". So if we're all foreigners then there is no such thing. Then all of a sudden we're all just people. People busy fighting each other rather than uniting to fight our oppressors. Genius if you think about it.
It's called "Feindbild" or "Enemy image" and it's one of propagandas greatest tools. In the 80's it was the cold war then the war on drugs, then the war on terrorism now it's the war on illegal migrants. Old playbook, new Feindbild, same old game.
Do you really think that every immigrant who came to the US during the gold rush cleared customs at the port of NY and applied for residency?
Divide y vencerás!
Division and tribalism are our greatest enemies
I think the global migrant crisis is one massive show. It's manmade and everything happening right now has been predictable for the last 2-3 years (same as the decline of fiat after the covid mess was predictable but it took the economy almost 5 years to catch up to the mess).
The so called crisis is happening in too many places simultaneously as not be to deliberate. The destabilisation of currency and national security is happening to push all those new dystopian bullshit on us from digital ID to digital money, only censorship etc etc. I'm certain of this.
Bingo.
The socialist monetary system makes promises it can't keep.
The politicians can't blame themselves so they:
1. Print money(Bi-partisan by the way)
2. Scapegoat immigrants.
The left thinks there is a "right side of history," but that's not how history works.
The right thinks immigration fixes math, but that's not how math works.
Does everyone in these comments not realize the tactic?
The rules is people get to speak their mind.
The rule is based on the understanding and underlying premise of civility.
The rule is then exploited by the uncivilized.
When people recoil and react to this, the uncivilized call them hypocrites.
The civil are disarmed in conversation, leaving only a feeling of being silenced in your own homeland. That leads to subjugation by the people exploiting the rule OR extreme violence when silence cannot be abided.
So am I. I'm convinced there are accounts on Nostr shilling the so-called migrant crisis. Shills everywhere nowadays
from the start of the US until today, way more people have been born in the USA then have immigrated.
So American born people far out number the wave of immigrats. The US is not a nation of immigrants, it's a nation of Americans.
Nice try! Trying to make people believe that the US was built by immigrants. It's built by Americans and will continue to be built by Americans. Immigrants are just a small minority compared to born Americans
No somos mas que hormigas irrelevantes que viven en el mismo hormiguero pero no se dan cuenta aun porque hace poco tiempo siquiera que saben que es un globo.
Lesson:
Don't become the people being displaced.
Being homelandless sucks, unless you're a rich white person.

The immigrants in the 1800s didn't get the insane amount of free handouts of today. Put out a saucer of milk and you attract more cats? Usually.
Complex problem, though...
Yes, every group of migrants was 'the new kid on the block' and were treated very poorly by the more established 'Americans' . A tale as old as time. Even ai, some groups thrived; some did not.
A great book by Thomas Sowell, "Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?" touches on this a bit. Short, but a well-researched great read.
Idk why, but this reminded me of Scotlands hilarious offer to Palestinian immigrants🤷🤣.
Well, that's not the immigrants fault but the administrations fault
Asi es
have you heard about Trump's birth right citizenship order? He literally wants to deport children born in the United States.
Sure I heard it and it’s rubbish
Your claim is misleading. Trump’s proposal wasn’t about “deporting children” but challenging the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which grants birthright citizenship.
The real issue is birth tourism, where people come to the U.S. just to have a child and gain citizenship. Ending birthright citizenship for children born to non-citizens would help close this loophole, ensuring citizenship is for those with a genuine connection to the U.S. It’s about protecting the integrity of our laws, not being cruel, and addressing a system that can be exploited.
We support Trump. We don't want foreign scammers coming to the US simply for citizenship
