Even though the Fourth of July is seen as a holiday of unity for all Americans, there were still some in the political world who chose to use the holiday to send a partisan message.
In particular, Democratic Senator and potential 2020 candidate Kamala Harris tweeted odd political commentary on Wednesday’s holiday, erroneously claiming that “eight immigrants” signed the Declaration of Independence.
A reminder this Fourth of July: it was eight immigrants who signed the Declaration of Independence. Happy Independence Day.

It is a historical fact that of the 56 people signed the document, the vast majority of which were American-born. The point is also strange because America was not an independent nation at the time and therefore had no immigration laws of its own yet. It is safe to say the internet reacted badly to the Democrat Senator’s tweet.
56 people signed it. 48 were born in the American colonies. 2 were born in England, 2 in Ireland, 2 in Scotland, 1 in Wales, 1 in Northern Ireland. https://t.co/JlEyHTxwRd

Since there was no country at the time, they endorsed no immigration laws. Once they founded a country, they instituted immigration laws. https://t.co/WyUI6W1asd

Forty-eight of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence were born in America. The other 8 were British or Dutch, same as our entire colony/country for about 200 years. https://t.co/tzswX9ovgx

No surprise that she rewrites history to suit personal agendas and biases, as well as laws and their enforcement. UNFIT for office !
This woman wants to run for President?!!! Well Obama said there were 57 States, so….
Kamala is an evil woman I have been on the phone with for 20 minutes trying to appraise her of fraud in the Franchise Tax Board, which was published here and the 100+ responses to it were off evidence quality so I published the collection on Amazon under the title “The Evil California Franchise Tax Board” and have heard no complaints as every case it true! Kamala wanted none of it and in my opinion she is corruupt.
Google “Two Minute Conservative” for more.
There ya go!
Intellectual ignorance on display.
Probably smoke’n some of that legal weed. She does fit the pattern.
Are all Democrats ignorant of our history or is it just California Democrats?
If the People elected her president they really world deserve to lose their freedoms.
The woman has a dubious route to her present point of success. She really can not present a cogent thought that wasn’t scripted for by her staff. President material?, only if you have no scruples and like the partisan aspect of her career climb. CA was shafted one more time with her candidacy.
THIS HAG IS EVIL TO THE CORE AND A COMMUNIST TO BOOT……
SHE’S NOTHING BUT ONE OF WILLIE BROWN’S WHORES……..
AND SHE’S ‘UGLY’ AS WELL….
BUT THEN AGAIN WILLIE BROWN PICKED UP A LOT OF ‘UGLY’, SMELLY WHORES….
THOSE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WOULD GO WITH HIM……
Definitely undereducated !!!
Considering she is named after a flower, what would one expect.
Another attack by the left to rewrite history . Nothing but lies from the lying liberal left as they continue to attempt to brainwash the educated ignorant with untrue propaganda, disinformation , and refusal to live by the laws of the land . These POS need to be exterminated from our country. Those in government took an OATH TO UPHOLD THE LAWS OF THE LAND AND ARE BETRAYING THAT OATH.
One last note , if there had in fact been 8 LEGAL IMMIGRANTS that had signed the declaration just what in the F%#K DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRUNTS ?
Please try to hink before you write… but that may be asking a lot?
I believe I spelled illegal ImmiGRUNTS correctly , liberal turd.
Biddah’ get outa’ dat’ bed n’ wash dem’ pots n’ pans malla!
So What! What does this have to do with people today KNOWINGLY violating our laws, thus becoming a criminal. We are a land of laws, and internationally, folks are laughing at us. Seem to me that MOST countries use their military to stop this nonsense. Those caught coming in, with their “supposed children” should be photographed, with as much information as can be obtained including DNA & Fingerprints, then walked back to the border and photograph them doing so.
They come back, they know the consequences of jail, and confinement. They can be given a sheet of information advising the legal way to enter USA..
As a taxpayer, I am tired of precious resources being wasted on the existing stupid process. Drug dealers/human traffickers have no rights in my opinion, and should be shot in my humble opinion. They are scum. KH is an embarrassment as a Federal Senator to me as a Californian. What is wrong with Ca Dem voters? Are they just plain idiots?
South of the border people need to do what we did with the brits.. Fight back against and for there own country, and change things. We did. Seems nothing has changed in the last 50+ years, but this President is trying to do something and gets the crap beat out of him by Dems and MS Media. Sad………….. We ALL know it is just for Dem voters, and are not fooling anybody. Dems are dying now, as partisanship exceeds being an American first, and a representative of ALL folks they represent. Perhaps they need to review the Oath of office they took, and signed… Reason enough to impeach/remove them for willful violation of their Oath………
It is really hard to tell if Harris just really hates America and wants to see it destroyed, or if her stated views are monetarily driven. As in, the more rights of Americans she opposes and denies to citizens, the more money she makes and the more power she grabs for herself. It is clear however, that she has no interest at all in helping anyone but herself and has no problem lying cheating and stealing to achieve her goals..
California resident and Harris is A DISGRACE….She is for Illegals over legal citizens….She is bought and paid for by unions….She is nothing but TRASH
these so called intelligent libs who try to make points just crack me up with their stupidity. Harris is called an up and coming figure in the democrat party, another obama. Really?
