Do you believe that the first immigrants sajones of america were illegal?

Answer 1

this is what I believe

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.
But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.
The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.
The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.

Answer 2

Babel Fish doesn't recognize 'sajones.'

You're only an illegal if you're entering a country with laws against immigration.

Now, if you're talking about 'america' in the broader sense of both north & south america (the continents), then the first immigrants possibly crossed a land bridge from Asia, while the first historical immigrants were actually conquistadors and colonists.

If you're talking about 'America' in the sense of the United States, I'd guess that, once immigration laws were established, it'd be a race to see whether someone broke those laws before the first legal immigrant was processed.

Answer 3

Not to the United States, no, because it didn't exist, nor were there immigration laws. Furthermore, every other country in the world got its land the same way, yet they all have immigration laws.

It is AFTER the colonies were established that we built the schools, economy and infrastructure that makes what is north of the Rio Grande different from what is south of the Rio Grande. We built it and we pay for the services, so we get to say how many can come, and who.

Answer 4

There were no illegal immigrants until after the laws were passed. Illegal immigrants have no friggin regard for laws.

Answer 5

Silly question.

The first immigrants were the first humans to arrive on the continent.

It was unclaimed territory.
