And then anyone who complains about uncontrolled immigration gets hit with the "well your ancestors were immigrants too." Absolutely disgusting and infuriating.
So my ancestors who came here when the country was a desolate wilderness, cleared timber with their hands and some oxen if they were lucky, farmed and hunted for their food, and built this country from nothing into the richest country in the world with their blood, sweat, and tears before government support even existed, are in the same category as someone who buys a plane ticket from Timbuktu to Toronto, rides to the US border in a car, walks across the border, and claims entitlement to an apartment in NYC and full support on my dime without having to lift a finger? I don't think so.
