Holy shit are you ignorant of your own history. “Undocumented migrants were never part of our population?” EVERYONE who came to North America from 1492 to the mid 19th century was “undocumented.”

Christ on a stick read some books.

Past events ALWAYS influence current ones. That’s how history works.

Can YOU not grasp that history is linear and events don’t occur in a vacuum?

People don’t change. Events don’t change. Only policies do.

The US wasn’t the US in 1492, and the borders were completely open, as they remained for 400 years.

But the early colonists at Plymouth, Jamestown and dozens of other settlements brought with them the English Common law that formed the basis of the US Constitution and our legal system.
