Kamala Harris is about a half a dozen fries short of a Happy Meal. She claims that 8 signers of the Declaration of Independence (DOI) were immigrants. She only missed it by eight.
None of the signers were immigrants, although they weren’t all born in this country. All 56 signers were born in British owned countries. If you move from Ohio to California, you may be a moron but you are not an immigrant. Not a single signer of the DOI was born in the United States. That’s a no-brainer since there was no United States until the DOI was signed on July 2nd, 1776.
“A reminder this Fourth of July: it was eight immigrants who signed the Declaration of Independence. Happy Independence Day.”

Then the fun began…
“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.”

“Since there was no country at the time, they endorsed no immigration laws. Once they founded a country, they instituted immigration laws.”

Oh, don’t you worry… there was a lot more fun to be had.
“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.”

“we’re calling them immigrants? what in the historical revisionism is this. ”
Kamala Harris is just like the Founding Fathers, they both went down in history. Harris also went down in individual thinking, math, and English.
The Declaration of Independence inspired many similar documents in other countries, the first being the 1789 Declaration of Flanders issued during the Brabant Revolution in the Austrian Netherlands (modern-day Belgium). It also served as the primary model for numerous declarations of independence in Europe and Latin America, as well as Africa (Liberia) and Oceania (New Zealand) during the first half of the 19th century.
