    1. @stoney joe cuevas When Trump finishes his third term in office in 2028, do you think, he should be allowed a fourth term?
      There is a precedent.

    2. @Muhammad was a pedophile caravan robber

      Texas Republicans brace for 2020 drubbing

      ‘Republicans need to be very concerned,’ says a GOP member of the state’s congressional delegation of next year’s elections.

      As bad as it’s been for Texas Republicans lately, some members of the party are warning that 2020 could be even worse.

      The rash of recent House GOP retirements is just the latest sign of a state party in distress: In last year’s midterms, Democrats flipped a pair of longtime GOP districts, a Democrat came within striking distance of a Senate seat, and more than 50 elected Republican judges lost their jobs. Democrats also gained ground in state legislative races.

    3. @Robert Clawson limp wristed gay boys and little brown girls won’t hurt you, missus.

      Wipe those tears, blow your nose, and put on some dry InfoWars panties.

      😢

    1. Munhoz Santorely crime? Are you kidding? It was a MORAL crime yes, but the slave trade and slave owners made a fortune. In fact, the South made a fortune from slave labor. Cotton was exported all over the world. That’s why the South is still pissed that slavery was abolished because it destroyed them financially. And they never got over it.

    2. @GJ D You should be a better student of history, then you wouldn’t need to ask ridiculous questions when you have access to the internet of things.

    3. @Paul Bee what that got to do with what the Europeans did? Dont try to minimize what your ancestors did! The ish was wrong and you know it! Europeans are masters at projection and misdirection. Africans weren’t slave owners they had indentured servants which is a huge difference. Indentured servants were only servants for a certain amount of time for payment of debt and then free to go, slavery was free labor and treated as property! So get your facts straight before you go spew lies!

  1. You interview a man who descendents immigrated to this country by whatever means. And survived by whatever means. And made it by whatever means. He seems to forget where his roots came from. He meeds to come down off his high horse back down to the ground to get a taste of his ancestral connections from Italy. When they came here in waves they weren’t all self sufficient. But they worked hard at whatever they did. And they never forgot where they came from. Nor did they forget how they got here. Older people can relate to immigrants and their struggle. People like him are spoiled by gaining success and a name for themselves. They say and do whatever according to which way the wind is blowing.

    1. Ice Sickle Lol oh please. Only 2% of Americans owned slaves. Black people have still yet to accomplish anything.

    2. You don’t know what you’re talking about. That poem was written in 1883. Welfare and government assistance programs started in the 1930’s. Immigrants who came here before then had to be self sufficient.

    3. Would you host an immigrant family in your house? If so, please host me and sponsor my cost and my family’s instead of asking the tax payers to take the cost. Put your money where your loud mouth is.

    1. @Dol l STFU. Everything is WAYCIST to you leftist clowns.. You’re all a bunch of sensitive little bitches, your ancestors who struggled and fought for the freedoms and luxuries you enjoy today must be spinning in their graves.

    2. @Ramon Guzman I am also seeing signs that we are heading for recession…just in time for the Democrat president inherit the problem and try to straighten it put. This happened to Obama and the pro trump Republicans still blame Obama for the last recession. Meanwhile Trump started his presidency on the coattails of Obama’s accomplishments in this regard. Our current economy has absolutely nothing to do with anything that Trump has done. I actually am having anxiety about an impending recession. I lost SO much last time.

  2. He said it right in the beginning, the poem was about people coming from Europe which is the acceptable immigrant in White America. Everyone else is a burden and unwelcomed. Gotta love systemic racism ✌🏾

    1. @David Brown Yes, it is your fault, because you did not take the time to check the facts. A less than 30 second Google search. Let that be a learned lesson.

    2. @Barbara McCarthy did you used to make comments in the yesterday today videos were they showed 100 year old videos.?

    3. @Barbara McCarthy never mind I had the wrong person. I go in a lot of blogs history and anything educational I’m kind of a nerd.

  3. By the sound of his name this mans ancestry is from Italy. Some poor imigrant got him where he came from. Never forget where you come from. You never know if you got to see it again. You never know.

    1. @anoniem always Naw. Mine didn’t ask to come here. Mine were stolen. My ancestors are from West Africa, Cameroon. They worked for free building this country so others didn’t have to do their own work. Not lazy at all. I guess you could call it forced labor.

  4. Washington: “I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable Asylum to the virtuous & persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong…” 1788

    Paine: America is “An asylum for mankind.” Common Sense

    1. +Progressive Humanist If you for ONE SECOND think the Founding Fathers, born in the early 1700s, who were slave owners, would have for a SECOND been okay with this mass INVASION of Central American Aztecs and even actual Africans coming all the way from Africa *TO LIVE OFF OF A WELFARE STATE THAT DIDN’T EVEN EXIST BACK THEN,* you’re insane. When Europeans immigrated here, there WAR no welfare system and 30% of them that couldn’t hack it here went back. Now that NEVER happens because those who can’t hack it live off of welfare and leech off of the productive class at the point of the gun of government coercion. How DARE you invoke the Founding Fathers. They would view Trump supporters as the true Americans and patriots. They’d have you pro-open borders TREASONOUS leftists in the stockades awaiting the DEATH PENALTY before tomorrow for supporting open borders and the end of our national sovereignty.

    2. @John Kenealy I’ll say the same thing to you, f@g:

      If you for ONE SECOND think the Founding Fathers, born in the early 1700s, who were slave owners, would have for a SECOND been okay with this mass INVASION of Central American Aztecs and even actual Africans coming all the way from Africa *TO LIVE OFF OF A WELFARE STATE THAT DIDN’T EVEN EXIST BACK THEN,* you’re insane.

    3. Vote yes, you’re a moron. The United States during the time of the founding fathers didn’t cover Texas or any other current border state. The US for most of its history was about pushing people ,who were either indigenous or lived in a certain place for generations, out of their homeland in order to fulfill Manifest Destiny. And now you’re mad because Latin Americans and Hispanics are working in orange groves in America. What the hell are you mad about

  5. You’re twisting my words like everyone on the left does😥 I’m literally quoting you word for word🙄 I’m not a poet😢 😂🖕

    1. Yes exactly everything in America now is about the left and right, and tweeter,no civil conversation anymore and constitution is being twisted even though america constitution is full of lies anyways.

    2. Agreed . . . what is it about these people that makes them unable to own the things they say. Oh, wait a doggone minute . . . could it be because they don’t want you to contemplate what their bile-fueled words actually mean. Seems to me, they despise intelligence and discernment as much as they despise any form of opposition or criticism. Still, when all is said and done, to me they’re just hate-driven c**ts . . . and beautifully ironic that this is a good old-fashioned “Anglo Saxon” (oh, so European) pejorative to boot.

  6. Show us the statistics for which demographic is more dependent on government benefits. You have statistics for everything else.

    1. @Dang on man boo Which they wouldn’t need if it weren’t for a certain “stable genius” and his trade war.

  7. And there it is ladies and gentlemen; per Mr. Cuccinelli “and of course that poem was referring back to people coming from Europe”

    1. @musicsuxnowadays Reading is fundamental. I talked about technology, the environment and the development of the tech we see today based on war and greed. These areas are impacted all over the world. YOU just wanted to take anything as a shot against America.

    2. @President NotSure I don’t know where you got that out of my comment. I have no issues with White people, my comment is in response to those, always White, who act like before the White man invaded a land it was on the verge of collapse. I’m sure you’ve heard the “be grateful” we came, look at our inventions argument. The stupidity of that prompted me to respond. It was not an attack on White people, just a reminder that like any other group, not everything brought to a new land was for the better.

  8. Ken’s very pleased with himself. Good luck getting a job after you’re fired or Trump’s out of office, Kennie.

    1. @Derrick Landers Oh, don’t tell me you’re one of those Chumps for Trump? Quit my job and work for that con man, I don’t think so.

    2. Agreed, you should be held accountable for your bad decisions and actions. “Do” care what your peers think of you, shame is the old weapon, being brought back to the battlefield of humanity. You must reap what you sow.

    3. Dirk G No, don’t quit…merely step down and take the job if offered😆. It’s easy to complain but what would you do if you had an opportunity to make a difference? Input and sway is everything…and yes, I support the President.

  9. Yeah, early Americans were so self sufficient, they had to use slaves for all the hard work….🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    1. Layson Brooks, they really want to act like the African slave trade just started up without demand from Europeans. People are dumb as hell

    2. @Layson Brooks If Africa was so far ahead of the World in development then when did it all go terribly wrong? Or are you saying that Wakanda is real???

    1. And you would all still be living in the stone ages, engaging in cannibalism, and practicing human sacrifices like you were before we came.

  10. What part of LEGAL immigrant don’t they understand? And why the hell doesn’t this take a vote in congress to change? I want these people on the record.
