Current Events > If America is founded upon freedom and equality, should we bar certain cultures?

(+) Yeah! (+)

80/80

Like should we prevent potential immigrants from more authoritative and restrictive cultures from coming in? If they dont believe in things like women having equal rights or gays having the same rights, we would be bringing in people against the American ideals of freedom and equality no?

Well, this topic is better than I expected. I was guessing it was going to be a pedo or bestiality defense topic for the purpose of trolling.

Instead, it's just trolling. Compared to what I expected, that's almost sort of a victory.

by that reasoning, shouldn't we kick out Americans with those views?

Sorta. Its harder to do when theyre already inside and its hard to argue against the right to stay when youre a natural born citizen

The Founding Fathers did not believe in "freedom for all" but "freedom for citizens". Many of the Declaration of Independence signers were fully and outright against unfettered immigration. What you hear of America being the "home of immigrants" is a construct formed in the 20th century. Its revisionist history propaganda.

An immigrant has to be be a net gain for the nation he going to, not the other way around.

Google founding fathers immigration.... most of them gave speeches in front of the Congress against any such idea. The entire history of the US and the path forward for the country was written by revenge minded Congressmen in anti-belum Government circa post 1865
