"Remember we are all immigrants"
No, we are not all immigrants. People born here are not "immigrants".
"We do not OWN the land."
Actually we do. Why would you think otherwise?
"God said love thy neighbor as thyself."
He also said to obey the laws of the land.
"I believe we should help people who have struggles and dangers in other countries."
You are free to do so. However, you are not free to take my money to support your causes.
"After all our ancesters stoled the land from Native Americans."
Several things here. First: the true 'native Americans' are long gone (except, I believe, the Navajo). The true native Americans were conquered by other tribes moving in. And those people were, in turn, conquered by others, and eventually by European settlers. This was what happened all over the world.
"We abducted Africans do work for us."
'We' did not. Some people in the past did so - but that is long gone. S***ery existed all over the world - and still does today in a few places.
"We owe the people in need help to help themselves."
You may feel that way - but not everyone does. As before - you feel free to help them in any manner you choose. But not by stealing my money.
