How is this controversial? The USA has become the wealthiest and most influential country in the world because of centuries of immigration. Immigration is why almost all of us are here in this country right now. One of the most iconic monuments in the world is the Statue of Liberty...which is a universal symbol for freedom. The plaque on that Statue is a welcome for immigrants to have a better life here.

Immigration is straight up being attacked by many political influencers and people in the current Administration. Not illegal immigration, but immigration in and of itself. There is a very real push against immigration as a concept.

The quote you provided just talks about immigration. Based on how this country has benefitted from immigration, I would hope 98% of people in this country would agree that saying no to immigrants is against the 'American way'. The other 2% can 17 right off.


Correct, they probably shouldnt be upset.
Criticizing someone for saying something that a bunch of people shouldnt be upset about is odd. It seems like that criticism should be directed at the people who you say probably shouldnt be upset.


You definitely do like to reference this comment.
Jordan has said the comment was jokingly made to teammates. And the comment, if actually analyzed, shows Jordan is making his view known. Additionally, Jordan has said he wasnt comfortable weighing in on a campaign/issue he didnt know.

But sure- if you want to view the comment as genuine, then yep- Jordan prioritized shoe sales over supporting a Senate candidate who was trying to replace a proud and fierce Segregationist. Jordan chose to sit on the sidelines and not try to stop his home state from being represented by someone who was straight up racist.
Money over morals, right?

GD you love to hear yourself type...

FROM LEGAL CONTROLLED IMMIGRATION. You cannot have unlimited immigration. Ask the Indians (Native Americans).

My family came to America during one of those legal immigration periods in the early 1900s. (as a side note; But somehow I still get blamed for slavery.)

You can't use immigration as anyone from anywhere can come here at any time as the last administration did. Why do you have doors on your house and locks on your doors? If your all for unlimited immigration and you have an available bedroom, why isn't someone sleeping in that bedroom?

A place for your guest to stay or morals?
Again, did Gunn say 'illegal immigration' or just 'immigration'? Did Gunn say 'illegal immigrants' or just 'immigrants'?
Did Gunn advocate for open borders?

If you or others are upset over what Gunn said because you feel he advocated for the support of illegal immigration, then you are reading something that isnt there. It isnt in the quote you provided. You or others are angry over something that wasnt said.

...and if Gunn has advocated for open borders and increased illegal immigration, then post that up and I will absolutely say that is a really dumb view for Gunn to hold.
