In reply to the discussion: JD Vance calls mass migration 'theft', gets told Usha 'go back to India' [View all]patphil
(8,660 posts)They came here to escape religious, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic persecution from all over Europe. Countless additional waves of mass migration continued to come here from every continent, and country over the entire time from when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock to the present.
It still happens with groups like Afghani's, Somalians, Ukrainians, Chinese, Haitians...so many countries and ethnic groups add their unique contribution to the long list of those who came before them. It's a revitalization of the nation each time a new group comes in and goes through the process of integrating into the American culture.
Just Dumb Vance is angry because there aren't enough white folks coming in. And yes, he is a major abuser of the very thing he claims is so horrible.
He is deliberately blind to the amazing contribution each group makes, and to the new expansiveness they provide to the American Dream.
Vance wants to make the American Dream over into a nightmare for everyone except him and his White Supremacist pals.
