THE MYTH.
The right of immigration is a hallowed American principle that has been recognized since the days of the founding fathers.
As the influx of third world immigrants continue to pour into the country with both major political parties competing against each other to provide their social services and the inhabitants of their transplanted culture's votes with the Democrats holding an overwhelming majority of their support and republicans trying to scheme them away from them with a badly disguised amnesty plan called comprehensive immigration reform, the polls continue to show that most Americans want immigration curved and controlled with tighter border security and more stricter entry requirements for these groups who are enticed here with the promises of social services from both parties with the Democrats out front with their desires to accommodate them with the taxes of citizens and the republicans trying to play a shell game with the issue promising their constituents immigration limitations and border fences while turning right around and supporting amnesty once they're elected and assume office.
America at it's founding in the meantime was a British country with free British institutions and a constitutional republic of federalism minus the mob rule mentality of pure democracy which was implemented by men who considered the rights of Englishmen as absolutely essential. And these rights of Englishmen held by the founders were the main catalyst in america's war for Independence against the British crown and they never included any semblance of an idea of using mass immigration to repopulate and sustain the growth of the population of the country.
So how did the founders themselves really about using mass immigration to repopulate the country and grow the number of it's citizen inhabitants?
Here are some of their quotes.
"Why should Pennsylvania founded by the English become a colony of aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us, instead of Anglifying them, and will never adopt our language or customs any more than they can acquire our complexion?"
- Benjamin Franklin
"Are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the scale against the advantage expected by a multiplication of numbers by the importation of foreigners? It is for the happiness of those united in society to harmonize as much as possible, in matters which they must of necessity transact together. Civil government being the sole object of forming societies, it's administration must be conducted by common consent. Our government was a composition of the freest principles of the English Constitution, with others, derived from natural right and reason. Nothing could be more opposed to the principles of our government than those of absolute monarchies. But it was from such regimes that we can expect the most immigrants. suppose 20 millions of republican Americans were thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that kingdom? If it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe that the addition of half a million of foreigners to our present numbers would produce a similar effect here."
- Thomas Jefferson
"To render the people of this country as homogeneous as possible, must tend as much as any other circumstance to the permanence of their union and posterity. prudence requires us to trace the history further and ask what has become of the nations of savages (The Native American Indians) who exercised this policy, and who now occupies the territory which they then inhabited? Perhaps a lesson here taught which not ought to be despised." (Meaning the Native American Indians had a severe immigration problem.)
- Alexander Hamilton
"Except for useful mechanics and some particular descriptions of men or professions, there is no need of encouragement of immigration, while the policy or advantage of its taking place in a body ( I mean the settling of them in a body.) may be much questioned; for by so doing, they retain the language, habits, and principles (good or bad) which they bring with them."
- George Washington
"It was the practice of the emigrants from Scotland to bring with them certificates from the religious societies to which they belonged, of their honesty, sobriety, and generally of their good Character! Why should we not require some such document from all emigrants, and it would be well to add to the testimonial that the person to whom it was granted was not expelled from his country and had not been convicted of any crime."
- Rufus King, delegate to the Constitutional Convention from Massachusetts.
"For all it's diversity, the United States consisted essentially of people whose religious and cultural traits were broadly similar and compatible, rather than widely divergent and a potential threat to social commodity. Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people - a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar to their manners and customs."
- John Jay,the first chief justice of the United States.
In other words, it was believed from the very founding of this country that america had the right of exclusion and america was never intended to be a dumping ground for the world's third world immigrants who come here in groups along with their own cultures intact good or bad with full expectations of social services awarded to them at the expense of american taxpayers upon their arrival.
THE TRUTH.
The founding fathers themselves were generally wary of immigration obviously from the quoted examples I provided above and many of them warned about the consequences for the United States if immigration levels weren't limited. In today's child hostile american society where anti pro creation feminists and family planning are going along in harmony with mass immigration, it's important to point out that what is transpiring in america was never imagined by this nation's founding generation and the subsequent generations that followed knowing that immigration from foreign lands always required along with it, assimilation into a distinct American culture for Americans and by Americans.
