Is it even gonna be only 207 weeks though? They’re already trying to remove presidential term limits

I think that’s why there’s melon ball parties and pineapple gifts lol Very mid-century coded. Who is gifting pineapples and having melon ball parties in the 21st century? I don’t think the anachronisms are purely aesthetic or Lumon messing with the innies perceptions. There’s other old tech too

I think it’s set in an alternate 70s/80s period where Lumon shifted the trajectory of technology development from what we know in our own world

You keep throwing out things distracting from the topic at hand, hence talking in circles, and are now being straight up rude. I already tried to exit this conversation respectfully. You just want a fight. Since you won’t leave me be, I’m blocking you.

Also, since we’re going in circles and you keep using a pejorative term, I’m done with this conversation. Goodnight.

As far as proof of intent, several court cases have upheld the 14th includes people born to non-citizens regardless of legal status. So have 100s of years of proof of the law's meaning. And we have the FFs writings on immigration that supported open immigration to non-criminals

Dude, I’m literally saying it’s been about race the whole time? What are you yelling at? It’s also incorrect to say the founding fathers didn’t want a central bank. Alexander Hamilton was a founding father and pushed for it. The founding fathers weren’t in agreement on all topics.

As long as you weren’t a murderer, thief, polygamist, etc., you were able to get citizenship based on a short period residency. Coming to American and living here was not on its own a crime until recently, historically speaking.

Correcting myself on the date of a law doesn’t make me not thorough. My point stands that laws limiting the legality of immigration have historically been about race, largely to limit immigration of people of color, and that the founding fathers were vocally open to what is now “illegal immigration”

In today’s definition that’d be illegal immigration. History shows it’s clear the founding fathers, several of which were immigrants and through official comments, supported open immigration of people with good character. That would include most of today’s illegal immigrants who don’t commit crimes

Though, I was mistaken on one thing, the 1790 Naturalization Act reduced citizenship to white people for a time. Any white person who came to the U.S. could apply for citizenship after 2 yrs of residency as they committed no crimes. But it did not make just coming here illegal in any way for whites

I’m literally a historian and did double check the dates before commenting since we (working historians) don’t memorize the exact dates for everything like schoolchildren but go off

There was not a concept of illegal immigration when it was written in the 1860s. It wasn’t until two decades later with the Chinese Exclusion Act that illegal immigration became a thing— specifically as a racist tool. People just showed up and applied for citizenship before that.
