    Which is completely false again. It's called "The Right to Bear Arms" for a reason.

    You don’t know what you’re taking about. And five years is a long time.

    "Ms. Mason, who was sentenced to 60 months in jail for tax fraud and was released in early 2016, has said that she didn’t know that she wasn’t allowed to vote in that year’s presidential election. She cast a provisional ballot at her local church after being told that her name could not be found on the rolls. The ballot was never counted.

    “Crystal’s name was purged from the rolls when she went to prison, but Crystal did not know that,” Ms. Grinter said in an interview on Tuesday."

    Who says European immigrants aren't draining tax payers and living off welfare?

    Please Cubed, show us your evidence supporting that claim.

    We can't wait.

    I agree. Just laughing at the incredulity of the inference that Europeans don't use welfare.

    I believe that we should treat the immigrants the same as we treated them way back then; keep them contained on an island until they can be vetted and have a health check.

    Does that island have to be an island, and can we call it Mexico? ;)

    Damn, crazy lefties are probably already planning a protest to have the Statue of Liberty removed, now that they've decided the poem is racist :roflol:

    So to sum it up, the left believes that the original intent for the 2nd amendment means that we should only be allowed to own flintlock mussleloaders.
    The original intent does not apply to the first amendment, so blog on.
    It also does not apply to the inscription on the Statue of Liberty. The original intent is to be thrown out in that case.

    One more thing; Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful from the Texas border city of El Paso, tweeted, "This administration finally admitted what we've known all along: They think the Statue of Liberty only applies to white people."

    So, does Beto O'Rourke believe that Europe only has white people? Similar to how Biden believes that you are either white or poor?

    So, your point is that things were WAY better then when the problems you see now with immigrants were actually in Mexico when you are referring to and not to derail the post but it's funny how you say that they couldn't predict the future abuses of immigration but, hot damn, they sure knew what they were talking about when it came to guns.
    No, they didn't have welfare, but they did have slaves.

    Did you ask her? You were the one concerned, why didn't you ask her? Where I grew up some parents only spoke Italian. Here in SD there are religious colonies that only speak German.
    So what.

    What's your point? They were the "wretched refuse" then and hispanics are now. All are welcome.
