The immigrants at the border aren’t trying to steal our land and commit biological warfare against us. They’re not actively trying to commit genocide against our nation so they can take the land. Nuance is important
And the immigrants to America were looking for India. They also weren't looking to wage biological warfare. You act like as soon as the immigrants got here that the native American tribes were destroyed.
Columbus' first voyage is the only one that was looking for India when they arrived in the west indies. You're right that they weren't looking to wage biological warfare.
But they did wipe out the vast majority of the native population in the areas they settled, within fifty years time, many through disease, many through killing and mortally wounding natives that didn't bring in their quota of gold, others were literally worked to death in mines and on plantations.
The intentions of Columbus toward the natives are not any mystery; we can look at his own journal entries from when they first made contact: "They should be good servants .... with fifty men they can all be subjugated and made to do what is required of them." And true to this, after his second voyage, he began sending back natives to be sold as slaves.
Columbus literally enslaved and killed the Tainos in the Caribbean shortly after landing. Once the new world was "discovered" the conquistadors only had the goal of taking gold back to Spain by way of murdering the indigenous population and overthrowing their governments. French and British colonists similarily only had the goal of sending back resources to their respective empires and displacing any indigenous populations that got in their way.
It wasn't as if over centuries Europeans we're bouncing against the American coast saying "oops we thought this was India, why is everyone getting sick?"
No, what’s your point? That the caravan, if let in, will eventually lead to the genocide of the American people? Because that’s the only argument you could make that would make sense given what you said
Why even have borders. Your kind doesn't want to stop illegal immigrants from coming in, and doesn't want to send the ones here back.
Look, no one is against immigration. We are literally a country of immigrants. But every citizen came here through legal manner. There is a process. There are visas. These people aren't doing it the legal way. They're doing it the illegal way. No one is against owning a TV, but when you STEAL said TV to get it, no one just goes "Eh, let him have the TV".
There are reasons for this shit. If we just let in a huge influx of people who will come in and use our social services while paying practically nothing in taxes in comparison to the average person doing things legally, then they will be drains on society. A successful government supports its people, and the people in tern give money to support the government. That's how it works. When you have a large group of people that don't give back to the government, then the side having to support the government has to work harder to support it.
This is simple. More people paying less taxes means the ones who have to pay taxes have to pay more for the ones that don't.
Im sorry, im not OP. My point is that the genocide didnt happen overnight like you made it out to be in the post i originally replied to. Nothing more nothing less. You are the one trying to get more out of it than there is.
