D'Souza: ‘America Is A Nation Of Immigrants' But Not ‘A Nation Of Refugees' [VIDEO]
2017-02-14
[Daily Caller] Dinesh D’Souza detailed the difference between immigrants and refugees -- and how that relates to President Trump’s immigration ban -- on "Fox & Friends" Sunday morning.

The conservative filmmaker first noted that while America is a nation of immigrants, "it is not a nation of refugees."

"America is a nation of immigrants," he explained. "We are not a nation of refugees, and there is a critical difference between the two."

#4  We once were a nation of laws. Don't ever mention that.

#3  When the frontier out West was vast and untamed it made sense to bring people here from the Old Country who were like us or at least shared many of the same values that we have. They were Christians and descended from Western Civilization. There may have been minor problems with assimilation but at least they didn't want to kill us or subvert us to their alien religion. Now our country is settled. There are no more vast open spaces where millions of new immigrants can have free land to start their own family farms. Times change and those who don't change with it suffer.

#2  Jerry Pournelle: we're a nation of assimilated emigrants - immigration without assimilation is colonization.

#1  America was once a nation of slavery. We evolved to the point that it was no longer feasible. Shall we go back to slavery just because it once was part of America? With millions already unemployed, flooding the low skill rung of the job market is equally unfeasible.
