1. El Argumento Central: "Todos Somos Inmigrantes".
La idea más recurrente es que, con la excepción de los nativos americanos, todos los ciudadanos de EE. UU. son inmigrantes o descendientes de ellos. Este argumento se utiliza para señalar la hipocresía de la retórica antiinmigrante y para fomentar la solidaridad.
- If you're american and not indigenous, you're an immigrant or descendant of immigrants. Period.
- A timely reminder that unless you’re a native american, either you or your forebears were immigrants!
- We are all immigrants in this country (unless you’re native american) stop the hate against immigrants, they are not the enemy. The enemy is hate.
- But you just need to be made aware that every one on the us aside from native americans is either an immigrant or a descendant of immigrants. From all over the world, even places you don't like. Too bad.
- Wtf part of we are "all immigrant's" don't they fuckin get? from 1492 to date the only persons not immigrants are our brother's & sister's the indigenous people.
2. La Ironía Histórica y la Hipocresía.
Muchos comentarios destacan la ironía de que los descendientes de inmigrantes europeos, como irlandeses, italianos y polacos, que enfrentaron discriminación en el pasado, ahora apoyen políticas antiinmigrantes, olvidando la historia de sus propias familias.
- Immigrants are america everybody but the natives anyway it’s unsettling to watch the number of italian-, polish-, and irish-americans get behind maga, less than 100 years ago their families weren’t american either.
- We are all “immigrants” in one form or another. The thousands of chinese, irish, and italian immigrants flocked to this country in the 1800-early 1900s, all unsponsored, none had anything more than a few dollars and a ton of hopes and dreams. Their descendants are now fighting immigration?
- It’s always interesting to see people with hispanic, italian, german, irish last names lashing out at immigrants when grandpa came for the same reason (opportunities) and there was no immigration process. People just came. By ship, later by plane.
- Had an argument with a descendant of italian immigrants who is very maga. They claimed their family immigrated "the right way" - ignoring how easy it was to get it back then.
- Tale as old as time. Biggest disgust toward my heritage is how so many kids and grandkids of immigrants (who were treated terribly when they came here) fully embraced white supremacy, pulled up the ladder and threw rocks at everyone below.
3. Contribuciones y Defensa de los Inmigrantes.
Las publicaciones defienden firmemente a los inmigrantes, destacando sus contribuciones fundamentales a la sociedad, la economía y la cultura estadounidense. Se argumenta que los inmigrantes enriquecen a la nación y son la clave de su éxito.
- Immigrants are not free loaders nor are they taking anyone’s jobs. They contribute greatly to our society despite the hatred and bigotry they have to deal with. Every single “white person” in the us is a descendant of immigrants.
- Racist as fuck. Once more for the morons in the back of the class: immigrants make america great. It's the secret of our success.
- America was built by immigrants. All people should be treated with justice. "immigrants are not our strangers but our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters." the immigrants need not just our sympathy but solidarity and support.
- Btw: immigrants built america. Immigrants feed america. Immigrants clean america. Immigrants make america great.
- Immigrants are the blood of this nation and its heart. Those who don't recognize it willfully ignore our history. Al tuo fianco, trudy.
4. Distinciones Críticas: Inmigrantes, Colonizadores y Esclavizados.
Algunos comentarios ofrecen una visión más matizada, desafiando la narrativa simplista de "todos somos inmigrantes". Se establece una distinción clave entre quienes llegaron por elección, los colonizadores que robaron tierras y las personas esclavizadas que fueron traídas por la fuerza.
- I hate it when settlers use pro migrants rhetoric to white wash the crimes of colonialism. America is not a nation of immigrants. It is a nation of colonizers.
- And please spare me the "we are all immigrants" homilies. Unless you know what it's like to fight for a visa, green card, citizenship, asylum, refuge or to just exist undocumented in a country that hates you, you're not an immigrant. You're a descendant of one.
- A reminder that ancestors of the majority of black people in this country did not come here voluntarily and therefore are left out of the 'well, you're all immigrants' narrative.
- We are not all immigrants. The settlers were colonizers, who murdered and displaced the indigenous people who were already here. Nor were enslaved africans immigrants; they were brought here in chains, against their will.
- The forebears of those racist white folks in america don't even deserve to be labeled as immigrants; they were really just squatters, plain and simple.
