By that reasoning all everythingians except certain-parts-of-africa-ians 
are children of immigrants.  Going back that far renders the term 
meaningless.

What is being pointed out is that Republicans are pretending they

During the communist witch-hunt era, many people urged that anyone
accused of being a communist ought to be deported to Russia--and
most were US native-born citizens.

In today's climate of hysteria, undoubtedly many folks--and candidates

'loyalty'.

Emma Goldman was deported after WWI, she was a citizen.  The excuse used 
was that the man she married had lost his citizenship.

I thought some others were deported around that time, but I'm not certain 
they were US citizens, and some like Big Bill Haywood went to the USSR on 
their own choice (though in his case it was to avoid something in the US).

Not everyone is descended from immigrants, at least not completely.

My great, great, great grandmother was born in 1798, in the pacific 
northwest.  No US, no Canada, no France or England.  She saw that rise up, 
and the only reason she might be considered a Canadian citizen is because 
she and her husband moved to the Red River colony (where Winnipeg is 
today) and lived long enough for Canada to become Canada and bring that 
area into Confederation.  Along that line, nobody had to do anything, they 
were just Canadian citizens by default when the time came.

The 'go back far enough' is likely in reference to the Bering Strait
migration around 13,000 years ago.

I understand all of that, but some folks apparently think their
European ancestors have always been here. Stupid, but its what they

Most _have_ applied for a visa; many have even been approved.  However,
due to the race-based quota system, there is a 30+ year wait for said
visas to actually be _issued_, i.e. longer than the typical applicant's
remaining life expectancy--and if the rest applied, it would climb to
50+ years overnight.

You can't rig a game so it's impossible for players to win and then
complain when they refuse to play.

> I'm not sure most would want to, or would be able to, deport US

Most Republican candidates--and all of the leading ones--have _stated_
they will deport US citizens of a particular religion.  None have said
where they plan deport them _to_, of course, particularly those who have
no other nationality.

What's next, deporting US citizens for unpopular political views?

And that is why so many don’t bother to apply
and have themselves identified to the system.

And that blows your most claim out of the water.

Well, you can, but look pretty silly when you do that.

Yes.

Presumably back where they came from or to anywhere that will accept them.

That's the silly slippery slope argument.

Most countries deport those who have entered the country
illegally and who don’t qualify for refugee status there is no
slippery slope for those who have applied for and received
refugee status before arriving.

Some were.  Maybe not most tribes, but someone made the point that the
Comanches used terror as a means of controlling their territory - not just
terror against whites but against the neighboring tribes.  They committed
atrocities similar to what ISIS is doing today, and their tactics worked. 
They succeeded in pushing back settlers in Texas for many years.  Only the
Rangers and the repeating rifle turned the tide - the Comanches could fire
several arrows in the time it took to reload a single-shot rifle, so troops
who went against them looked like pincushions in no time.

Some might look at that Indians as defending their land against an 
invasion.

Even in our very conservative public school system, we learned that
the Indians were treated like crap.  The white men and government
frequently broke treaties, exploited them in all sorts of ways,
and took their land.

Yup. And the schools I attended during Segregation did this at a time
when African-Americans were being poorly treated. I don't know of any
instance of anyone seeing the similarities.

True. When they first encountered a Ranger with one of Colt's
revolvers, they were shocked. Also, they ran the Apache out of what is
now the Texas Panhandle area.

But the Comanche were not one nation, they are now.

Back then, one band would be attacking the Anglos, trading with the
Spanish, attacking other tribes. Another band would be trading with
the Anglos, trading with the Spanish, attacking other tribes. On and
on with a number of different scenarios.

I've read where they weren't thought much of by other native tribes
until the Comanche got horses. Then they came into their own.

Of course, my Scot ancestors were not seen as 'nice pople' by the
Brits either.

I don't think anyone is speaking up for those who up a holiday party.
Indeed, even if they weren't killed, I don't think anyone would be 
speaking up for them.  

Anyway, they aren't the issue.

The issue is the government demanding a very powerful tool that could
be used to break the privacy of others.

Yup.  In a Muslim country, you would also be considered one.  I'm also

or NSA.

Of course, ANY phone COULD contain info on terrorist activity. You 
surely realize that governments (including ours, from the FBI down to 
the county sheriff) will make ample use of that possibility. "Oh 
shucks, it turned out that Jim wasn't involved in terrorist activity, 
but while we were checking we found evidence of something else

And the governments of any country that Apple does business in, too.

I'd give it a month before the software (or at least the functionality 
of it) that Apple writes is in the hands of all sorts of parties, 
including the Russian mob.

I think that it is a given that the NSA can read everything. There was 
a story a while ago that `eavesdropping' is built into most little 
devices (phones, etc). After that, its probably intertlccompany rivalry,
"Son, Sob, the ??? can read phones, and we can't". there was a debate
in the UK a while ago about data, and it turned out that even traffic
wardens could access 'secure' data.

If the NSA could read everything then the FBI would be getting their 
boss to talk to the NSA boss, not threatening Apple.

Simple fact, there is encryption strong enough that the NSA cannot break 
it.
