> Again, the entire commentary you have here is all more FYGM.

Typical progressive inversion of reality. If you think it's selfish for Americans to expect the American government to put them first, I'd hate to hear what you have to think about the foreigners who demand the same!

> If the Native Americans had this attitude (and Europe didn't just go to war) we wouldn't be here at all.

The Native Americans did have this attitude, which is why they consistently resisted the colonization of their territory.

> If earlier European-descendant Americans had this attitude, a huge chunk of us wouldn't be here.

Earlier European descendant Americans brought in immigrants to further their own goal of colonizing the North American continent. It wasn't a welfare policy for the benefit of foreigners, it was a policy enacted by Americans for the benefit of Americans. They also drastically cut immigration when it suited them, as with the Immigration Act of 1924.

> People said all of the same things here that you're saying about Irish, Italian, Chinese, and many other immigrant classes over the years. None of your rhetoric is new or unique.

Are you suggesting that earlier European-descendant Americans did, in fact, share my attitude? Pick a lane.
