Probably not...but not for the reasons you think.

Considering the USA allows more immigration that most of the rest of the industrialized world COMBINED they would probably be a bit upset with us.

Of course,here on this forum we discuss Illegal Aliens,not immigrants.

You sure You are on the correct forum ?

He are a few links You can use concerning how our Founding Fathers felt in regards to immigration, which I'm sure will help You :

Center for Immigration Studies

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/A...migration.html


I'm sure there are more sources.....

I don't know of any rampant abuse of "immigrants" in this country. Bet you are speaking of illegal aliens, aren't you? They aren't immigrants.

Glad you pointed this out. Too many people are trying to tie in the illegals with legal aliens and lump them together..Illegal means no rights,none at all here.

Our ancestors would be appalled by the fact that we have allowed people to immigrate to this country that they created, who do not share the culture, or the value system that our Western European ancestors ingrained in American civilization. They were the very people that built this nation: and made it what it is. Our ancestors would see how immigrants who come here today, exploit this country. People who came here centuries ago, came here to GIVE; immigrants who come here today, come here to TAKE! Immigrants who come here today are lazy, and know about subsidies. Those immigrants who came here decades ago ago didn't have welfare, foodstamps, social security disability, section 8 housing, WIC programs, and they didn't care! That was not why they came, they came to work hard. Back then, unlike today, however, there was a need for manual labor.

Also, our ancestors never in a million years would have regarded "people of color" as equals in anyway. They would not have been considered for the privileges they are afforded today by the bureacracy, culture and establishment created by white people. They knew more than anybody that this thing called "diversity" was nothing more than a sham; that it would infect this country like a virus. They overwhelmingly agreed with the National Origins Act which permitted people from Western Europe to come here. Looking what has happened since the National Origins Act was abolished 44 years ago, it has become quite clear, our ancestors were right. Immigrants who come here today, represent the greatest liability our nation has faced. They don't speak the language, nor do they want to. They often have no skills, and truthfully our economy does not allow for such large increases in population year after year. Our country does not create jobs the way it once did.

If you go back far enough WE were the illegal aliens. Native Americans hated to see us invading their pristine countryside and ruining their nations.

I don't think the idealists and visionaries would be. But working class simps foaming at the mouth over waves of a different race and/or ethic group is nothing new, in any culture. It's a good way to distract from the real problems/enemies.

They're so different! They're ruining the country!

Certainly not. After their struggles...after they went through the arduous process of coming here, being pressured to assimilate, to put their former cultures behind them, and come together with their new neighbors to form a society based not on 'ethnic ties', but on the rule of law....they'd be absolutely DISGUSTED to see us now, determined to throw it all away in the name of some vaguely-understood concept of 'multiculturalism', in which we can't agree that we HAVE a culture....can't define what an American IS...ask absolutely nothing of any potential "new" Americans, except that they 'allow us to accomodate them'....and can't even tell the difference between a legal immigrant and a trespasser.

No, they wouldn't be proud of us at all. They'd be sad and disgusted. They'd probably feel that we no longer 'deserved' to live here, since we seemed to take so little interest in the country they worked so hard to build.
