Patrick Murphy Thinks He's an Immigrant too.

[Kevin]

"It seems like a…metaphor? “You know, you think of the Statue of Liberty, right? And all of us. I’m an immigrant. We’re all basically immigrants here,” the native Floridian said."

It should be clear we he was trying to say, but I agree that it was worded poorly.

If you're not an indian, you're an immigrant.

Native American.

But yeah, this is a non-troversy.

[Ebsy]

Not really sure what is controversial about this?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

It's not poorly worded. This forum just has a huge crush on Rubio, and it's just really sad.

[SATW]

^ LOL says trump's #1 fan.

Also, Murphy is a massive HP, so not surprising.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Murphy is still better than Rubio by a mile.

If you're not an indian, you're an immigrant.

If your family has lived in the same country for hundreds of years and many generations you are not an immigrant.

Right.  You're an anchor baby.

To be fair, with a name like "Patrick Murphy", his family might be turn-of-the-century Irish immigrants. He personally isn't an immigrant of course, but its not impossible that his family isn't that old and established in America.

That's not saying much.

The point is that you are here because your ancestors at some point after the 17th century were allowed to come live here. It is hypocritical for any of us to want to deny other people the same opportunity.

Someone tell Curt Clawson that there's an Irish person running for Senate!

This dumb quip needs to die. American Indians are also immigrants, of course. They didn't just cross the Bering Straight for bison and cheap smokes.

Except they set up the first culture(s) and civilizations here.  They aren't just immigrants like all the immigrants that followed, many of them illegally since the natives didn't want them here.

I agree that that particular quip is dumb but the overall point is correct.
