It’s Americans' 'duty to prevent any new citizens from coming in until the health of the Republic can be restored and those new citizens can be properly assimilated,' Glenn Ellmers told The Federalist.

America is not a "nation of immigrants," and never has been, but there has been a generations-long effort to make Americans feel a false sense of camaraderie with culturally unrecognizable people from all over the globe.

Every generation for the past century-plus has been told the same thing: The United States exists to save the entire world's less well-to-do by bringing them here and allowing them to experience the American Dream.

It was an argument made by politicians and members of the media, to be sure, but government schools made sure to "mold young minds" into believing the nonsense as well...

"Allowing people to become new citizens is a two way agreement, and the part that everyone leaves out is the existing members of the social compact have a right to decide who they want to admit as citizens," Glenn Ellmers, Salvatori Research Fellow in the American Founding at the Claremont Institute, told The Federalist. "They can exclude anyone they want for any reason… becoming an American citizen is not a right."...

"The New Colossus," the famous poem on the side of the Statue of Liberty... "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,"...

Miller rightly pointed out.. "... but the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of liberty enlightening the world - is a symbol of American liberty lighting the world… The poem that you're referring to was added later, is not actually a part of the original Statue of Liberty."...

But most of those Americans have not questioned the lies that they were told in school...

There was never any reason whatsoever to take in migrants from Somalia... Haiti, Syria, Afghanistan, or any other horrific country whose people would, at best, add nothing to the country... while refusing to assimilate altogether...
