Donald Trump meet Wong Kim Ark, the Chinese American cook who is the father of ‘birthright citizenship’

Trump should respect other immigrants

Neither Trump nor anyone "should" hold any political beliefs you want them to hold. Your personal political beliefs are not standards that others have to abide by. People are free to have their own opinions, ideals and beliefs. Opposing yours on others is bigoted.

You are also implying that he is not 'respecting' immigrants by suggesting we build a wall on our southern border.

I would argue that you are coddling ILLEGAL immigrants at a major detriment to LEGAL immigrants who have followed the legal application process to become citizens legally, and followed and met the criteria required to do so.

Furthermore, he has pointed out this fact at his rallies and has made a big point about how unfairly people are being treated who attempt to immigrate legally. The fact that you choose to not acknowledge these very valid points he made is your own willful ignorance, not any "disrespect" on his part. It's you who is not acknowledging these facts.

challenge the 14th amendment again

It is not a challenge to the 14th amendment. The 14th amendment was not designed to give full blown citizen to the children of people who are here illegally.

By saying he is "challenging the 14th amendment" you are essentially saying that anyone born in the United States should be a citizen regardless of legal status. So if Osama Bin Laden had his wife illegally cross the southern border and have a child on US soil, that would make that child a full blown citizen of the United States, and it is unquestionable by law. You do realize how nuts that sounds right?

The only group that have the right of telling others to get off this land is the Native Americans.

How do you figure that?

They lost the battles for the land fair and square in conflict. They completely lost their claim to the land.

What do you think happened when one native american tribe fought another native american tribe for land? Or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

Think about what we do for native americans to this day. US Military protected land, all sorts of free benefits, free to live on federal government protected land with their own laws and regulations.

Native Americans are being treated, i'd argue, better than the vast majority of conquered peoples throughout history.

Their good treatment aside, they have no right to "tell others to get off this land", let alone the exclusive authority in doing so. You're delusional if you really believe that they have that right.
