I obviously do not know your background. My point was that the descendants of involuntary migrants are the only ones, compared to the descendants of voluntary migrants, who have the moral authority to object to immigration at this time.
I am not defined by my ancestors. Nobody is.
"Descendants of..." is an antiquated idea at the very best, fraught with inconsistencies and unknowns.
The authority -- moral or otherwise -- belongs to the legal citizens living here right now. Today.
I’m old and white and when my great grandparents came over from Ireland they had no paperwork. They. And here got jobs and started to improved their lives.
The idea that undocumented immigrants "bankrupt" the country was always silly, but ITEP ran the numbers. Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022, and in most states, they pay higher tax rates than the top 1%:
My reading comprehension is just fine. Maybe you should work on yours. I simply pointed out that my ancestors didn't come here illegally. The OP was about "undocumented".
Why am I even trying to explain this ... you either have the reading skills or you don't....

I prefer opinions based on facts and evidence.
