I'll summarize the conversation up to this point to you: The story is about a Chinese national working as a supervisor in CBP.
geetee asked why is CBP hiring foreign nationals.
jeffbee answered that it's because the US is a "nation of immigrants that for centuries recognized the value of recruiting foreign people".
I corrected him that those "centuries long" attitudes only applied to whites, and excluded the Chinese national subject of the article. This directly debunks his assertion that American values until recently meant his acceptance.
My beliefs are only relevant in so far as it is against my beliefs to lie. Why is that so strange to you? You seem to believe debunking lies requires one to have some fringe beliefs. What does that say about what you think are mainstream beliefs? What does it say about yours? I've only referred to widely-known facts of US history, that I don't believe you're ignorant of. Why did you not only not correct the lie, but attacked the person that did? The only conclusion I can make is that you are so at odds with truth, that you see correcting obvious lies as an assault on your worldview.
