Spray painted red. Hmm.

https://www.cnn.com/travel/amp/plymouth-rock-graffiti-vandalized-trnd/index.html

Preparations to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims arriving in the New World were in full swing in Plymouth, Massachusetts. But then residents woke up to find that the beloved landmarks that make their city special had been vandalized.
Plymouth Rock was one of them.

The iconic landmark, which is inscribed with the year 1620 to mark the year William Bradford and other Pilgrims first set foot on American land, was found on Monday to be covered with red graffiti.

Vandals also spray-painted the Pilgrim Maiden statue and the National Monument to the Forefathers, according to CNN affiliate WBZ

So is the Statue of Liberty. It should be reassembled outside a museum to be viewed in its proper historical context as a relic of a past where further immigration was once both necessary and welcomed.

So did they spray paint "F___ TRUMP" or "MAGA" , or was it some indechipherable nonsense or gang-related crap?

All of those options are a big HP, but the latter two are absolutely disgusting.

Aren't white people not having babies NEARLY fast enough to keep pace with economic growth? Don't we need legal immigration to continue growing the economy? Your ideology is bizarre from my perspective. You view a recession as a necessary price to curb immigratiom?

Sanchez is of WV extraction, which means his views on immigration are basically Japan on meth.

Was there a coherent message? Were there any symbols? Or is it someone's perverse idea of "art", like "tagging" sires of natural beauty?

they all have "508 MOF" written on them. I'm pretty sure "508" is an area code, so I assume its some teenage gang? Doesn't seem political anyway - people wanting to make a statement would normally leave some indication of what the views actually are.

Seems like people wanting to cause mischief and probably brag about it on social media, along the same lines when I was younger where you'd see "x was here" spray painted by vandals.

It isn’t long until you hear America’s ISIS destroy the rock, or destroy one of the country’s oldest churches, or attack other memorials. These people are those who feel America was never truly great. They are domestic enemies and should be clapped away as such.

Infinite growth is a fantasy.  Preventing a leftward shift is worth a slightly lower rate of economic growth, which might not be an issue at all considering automation will greatly shrink the workforce in the coming decades.   These current immigrants don't believe in our values, they according to polling data are less in favor of free speech, gun rights, and small government than the  American public. I am disgusted by "conservatives" and neolibs who value money over all else.  At least the socialists believe in something.

What commonly held American values do recent immigrants not believe in?
