Go back even further, we’re all immigrants from the ocean
Comment on Is there any point for current US-based "skilled immigrants" to stay in the US?
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 13 hours agoI wouldn’t go that far. Might as well say anyone outside of Africa is an immigrant.

Well, yeah, that’s the point. I didn’t bring Europe and Asia into it since the original thing was about the U.S., but it applies there too. It applies everywhere.
We aren’t some magically unique group because of where we live. There’s no inherent barrier between people just because someone got somewhere first.
I’m not saying that there’s no point in borders, or that nations don’t/can’t have rules about such things.
I’m just saying that when it comes to the U.S. and the rhetoric around immigration and immigrants, there’s a lot less differences between everyone over on these continents than differences.
