Just Try And Move Me - Sanders

Sanders claims that migration has taken over the minds of society and that “settling in...[has] a chance of making a durable home for ourselves...and our descendants”. But what claim can this possibly be? Had all mankind followed this principle, Africa would hold a lot of people. In fact, ALL people. Both common religions and science agree on one thing: humanity started in one place. If the human race had followed Sanders’s mentality, the word “opportunity” would have no meaning. Referencing a more recent situation, the foundation of America was built on immigration. The early settlers immigrated. The later settlers immigrated. People still immigrate today. Even the Native Americans migrated within their country! If they had stayed, “rooted” in their territories, they would have starved. They moved because of opportunity. Even Sanders’s mother was the daughter of an immigrant doctor. If there was no immigration, would Sanders have been able to write Staying Put: Making a Home in a Restless World? Even more so, would Sanders himself even exist? One might say that it’s all based on chance anyways. That it was just chance by chance that Sanders and all descendents of the start of humanity was chance. How are all of those chances possible though? What makes them viable to happen? I am the son of immigrants. I believe in the opportunity of moving. I am the opportunity of moving. I can’t stay put.
