It's not just immigrants who speak Spanish regularly, though. Plenty of native born citizens speak Spanish regularly, and the American west has more Spanish influence than Anglo in many regards and aspects. Its also why Day of the Dead, aka Mexican Halloween, is such a big deal out here, same...

I agree with most of this, except complaining about how wide spread Spanish is. Spanish as the US's second language is no skin off my back; people learn to read and understand, if not always speak, Spanish as sort of a second nature in much of the American west. Enough of the West was Mexican...

I've never heard of Ilya Somin before, and that idea is a ridiculous farce; just because some people abuse the US immigration system does not mean we need to make life more difficult for people who were born here in legit ways (aka not anchor babies for illegals or birth tourism kids). As for...

We do not need more people immigrating to the US; we have a hard enough time keeping things going for the people here already. I'd be fine with a complete immigration freeze at this point, really. It'd allow the backlog of already existing immigration applications to be sorted through more...

As I said, I dare you to actually say that to the faces of people like the Navajo nation. 'Intermarried with immigrants' does not remove ancestory that was here before the nation was formed or mean that it makes people 'children of immigrants'. As I've said, this is a neolib narrative that...

You act like the US owes it to the people of other nations to make it as easy for them to come here and become citizens as possible. We need stricter, more merit based immigration, and we need to actually deport the illegals who have come here; you will not get may people on the Right onboard...

I dare you to go to the Navajo nation and say that everyone there is a 'child of immigrants'. That entire idea is a neolib twisting of facts to try to make it easier to excuse immigration abuses, nothing more or less.

No, because a lot of the ancestors of many Americans came to the US before there WAS a US, and we're here when the Revolutionary War happened. That makes them Americans, not immigrants or citizens of other nations who 'came' here. For example one of my ancestors was Daniel Boone himself, who...

Why should two foreign nationals, neither of whom has any preexisting connection to the US, be allowed to come to the US explicitly to abuse it's immigration system to try to create a US citizenship for their child out of whole cloth by knowingly timing a trip to the US when near the expected...

'Birth tourism', where neither parent is a citizen, and they come to the US just before the expected due date to get them US citizenship later in life, or as an 'anchor baby' to try to over stay their welcome, is very much a thing. CBP has to deal with that stuff as part of their customs duties...

The rule is the only thing keeping dipshits like Prince Harry from trying to run for POTUS using his vast network of royal connections. Same with keeping the House of Saud from trying it as well. The rule is necessary to keep foreign powers from trying to play a long game and gain direct...

The Founders were worried about foreign royalty (at the time of the writing that meant the Brits mostly) trying to play the long game, and get one of their scions into the nations highest office, which would make annexing/upsurping the Constitution that much easier. It ensured that POTUS's...

No, this requirement must be maintained. Trying to play the 'discrimination by national origin bit' like the OP is doing is an obvious bad faith argument meant to make it easier for foreign nations to influence US POTUS's, or install one if they play the long game. Our Founders put that...
