      Exactly sir. We are all of whatever country, if we are a citizen of that country, then, we are of that country's original makeup and should have sworn our allegiance to that country first and foremost. Our nationality should be second to this.
      Though looking into the future progression to mankind's evolution, it would seem that in order for us to survive as a species, the wars, genocides, atrocities must be exiled from our belligerent ways of the barbaric mindset. We as humans do not like change yet here it is, just look around at our so to speak, coming of age from the Millennials & gen Z. What has encompassed our species since the beginning is this very thing, borders. We fight over this like there is no tomorrow, unjustly so. I can see both sides, know the former as we all do, yet without some new interpretation into finding prosperity for all, somehow our battle may just be beginning. Instead of the circular, me, me, me, how about the we,we,we movement. If we all could share into building each impoverished country so they can succeed in maintaining their own social stability, then the need for finding refuge in a better place would not be so prevalent.I understand this is a tall order but used to say it in the eighties about China. When everyone became independent enough to have a cell phone and the luxury of porcelain then the avenues for self concerning plights of freedoms became more apparent. Every human who has tasted some sort of freedom knows only too well they want more. Here in the US, we take it all for granted as though not to understand not having it yet, here we are, about to eat crow like no one's business as our borders are being trampled on. The very old saying of, " careful what you wish for", seems more upon us as the future of our republic stands to be taken down, or apart in such a way it will never resemble that for which it once was. Many Americans are starting to get quite nervous because, we've always been able to have our cake & eat it too. Always supersized. Well folks, those days will be leaving us soon. Just to what degree will the impact of doing without all that we so dearly loved, have on our mental state. Well, get over it folks, you are about to enter into the realm of the have nots. Thank all of those and possibly yourself for not paying attention while the sheep kept letting the fox into the pen.

    VDH has refused to see the reality that citizenship on paper is weak and that it was the common European heritage of White American which was the foundation. With that gone, we have the clownworld Balkan States of Multimerica. Blood and culture are far thicker than paper and ideas.

    • @ghostlyimageoffear6210
      @ghostlyimageoffear6210 Před 3 měsíci +6

      Absolutely. We've been brainwashed into civic nationalism and that it doesn't matter your heritage. Everyone is just as American as the historic white populace who risked, fought, and died for the country. And those white newcomers (in the past since we don't have white newcomers anymore) could at least, and in fact did identify with the founding stock. These new interlopers are not here to identify but to take advantage of what was already built.

    Citizenship in the early Republic was not really a thing. People were excluded from governmental participation by a list of We the People but not-you.
    Article 1 (Congress/census) lists who is to not be counted for representation, or who is to be counted less. Indians NO, Bondsmen 3/5th.
    Then those that can't vote are codified in rule of law. Women can't, children can't, slaves can't, then in state laws...Black people can't, Chinese workers can't....
    However many European male adult immigrants could often vote right off the boat. This was true in the colonies and the early Republic.
    However with the 13th and 14th ammendmdnts this citizenship qualification started to be added..
    Then it started to become tricky. You couldn't just look at someone and know. The qualifications to vote...natural or naturalized start to be copied from the UK and French republic.
