NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. joined in late Saturday night with a post expressing empathy for refugees facing hardships.
Earnhardt tweeted that his own ancestors left Europe centuries ago to escape religious persecution.
In a tweet to Twitter user @GelarBudidarma, who identifies himself as a Muslim “mostly from” Bandung, Indonesia, Earnhardt wrote: “my fam immigrated from Germany in 1700s escaping religious persecution. America is created by immigrants.”

If his ancestors were killed by a nut in the past he wouldn't be here now! Its not a permanent policy, only a temporary order to refine the process. He would change his mind if a direct family member was to be murdered by a terrorist. I will put him on my long list of a##holes standing on a podium!
Go back and visit Permanent.
Truth in this statement. These folks need to be screened to determine if they should be allowed in, not banned.
Shut up Dale
Follow the law to immigrate it's as simple as that but when your religion preaches violence you should be vetted.
Wait in line like all did. We have the most open immigration in the world. Go to any other country and get caught illegally crossing the border. Idiot he must be upset all those Mexicans he has working for him will be sent back.
America has took toooo many in by the Millions , many Yrs
So Nobody has room to cry and wine
ALL Immigration needs to STOP now
Future generations here need ROOM here to grow
This country Overcrowded now !!
America has NO obligation to the world to take ANY more !!
If you read the whole article 12:58, you would have found out that is pretty much what Dale said. Almost all of us are descendents of immigrants, LEGAL ones.
Just shut up and turn left Dale (on the race track).
Agree , there is, what is called a VISA to visit here
Just like other countrys use , then Go back home when the
time is up, just like everywere else does.
They don't let you Stay just because you may want to,
so, why does everyone think you get to stay here ???
People are so misinformed it makes be want to scream! It is only 120 days STFU!!
12:59 a religion that preaches violence? Look no further than Christianity!
Visit here in America on a VISA , then Go back were you
came from.
America Owes Nobody to let them stay >> Period
The World really OWES America , that they are even Alive
today.....Look back at History >> WW2 >> and Quit Wining !!
Simply ... Muslim is a "CULT" not a Religion (Not Really)
Man Made ...controlled by Bad people who mistreat their
own group and the rest of the world ..... FACT
Mistreat their Own Women , Don't Forget !! (Not Civilized)
Damn right 1:30
Our American Heroes (Our Christian Soldiers) saved the
world in WW2 and I dare any country to complain or
wine weather we let any more come in here to stay.
Our Heroes OWE the world Nothing, it is the World who
OWES every one of them . Period !!!
America has taken in Plenty and has Every right to decide
when to STOP all immigration. Somebody elses Turn !! Now
His statement was another "politically correct" statement. My ancestors came from France and England in the late 1600's, all as indentured servants. However, I don't believe my ancestors or Dale's ancestors came here in the same fashion or manner as we now see around the US. BUT it was a safe statement for him to make and save face with his fans, his sponsors, and NASCAR. I wish he had kept it to himself, but I don't condemn him for saying it.
That being said, I think the order by President Trump was fair and in line with where we need to be now. I recently read an anecdote, "I don't lock my home's doors because I hate those who may try to come in....I lock them because I love those inside my home and want to protect them." Let's give the new President a chance to help us all. Just a chance, that's all.
He didn't save face with this fan. He lost one Let him go back with the muslems and race camels. Maybe he can drive one of them better than he does a race car
Only Idiot or brainwashed person would make comment like that.
Yep, and they came here legally, you rich-driving-in-circles-redneck.
Yes Dale Jr., your family were Legal Immigrants. And I'm sure they had documents providing the information of their names and where they came from. None of which most of the recent Muslim "refugees" can provide. If they looking for Refuge, why not go to Turkey, it's much closer. I guess they rather fly across Atlantic on U. S. Taxpayer Dime and expect free welfare, housing and EBT's.
Brain damage !
#Sendbackdale.
I guess poor Dale is still having symptoms from his concussion. It obviously scrambled his brain.
Don't be stupid Dale...your family didn't come here to demand a Caliphate and Sharia Law, didn't come here to have a desire to kill us unless we convert. Not all, but enough that all should be concerned. Look what happened to the European countries...in a word, Naïve.
Oh yeah....HE HAD MORE BRAIN DAMAGE THAN WE THOUGHT!!!!
He just became the Dixie chick of NASCAR . Jackass
Why doesn't that A-hole stick with NASCAR and act like a real American?
Dale, your ancestors were probably leaving persecution BY Muslims! Why don't you look THAT up?
Pickle head, lay off the juice!
Since When , does the U.S. HAVE TO take ANY immigrants
or Refugees ???
The world and Demon-crats act like the U.S. HAS TO
Balony !!! Think again, because We Don't Have to ....
Get Used to it..... Time for other Countries to take them !!
Hahaha, you dumas redneck hillbillies turn on one of your own for what? Because one one issue he has a view that is his own? Ya'll are pathetic.
Spell check before calling someone dumb. please do not be ashamed if you can read I can help you. Together we are stronger snow flake.
"snow flake" is actually one word..."snowflake"...perhaps you could benefit from your own advice.
I'm so enthralled to be getting social commentary from a Nascar driver, who by the way are well known for their thought provoking wisdom.
America was created by immigrants but this isn't 1900 anymore. Democrats lie (because all democrats lie constantly) and say they are the party of progressives when the fact is they are the party of regression. If it were up to them we would regress into a 3rd world country where all people (except Big Business executives and the politicians) work for slave wages and have to rely on the government to survive.
My ancestors also immigrated from Germany and Wales to escape religious persecution but they were not given welfare checks nor came with intentions of non assimilation or terrorism for the propagation of their own religion. They came here to find a better life not to destroy and force their culture on the country that graciously welcomed them.I have always been a Dale Jr fan especially after the tragic death of Dale Sr but Dale JR lives in a bubble like most of the liberals in this country. I seriously doubt he could have landed a ride in Nascar without his fathers help.JR has always had the best equipment in Nascar and has been mediorcre to say the least.I am quite certain his father the great Dale Earnhardt would tell him to shut up and drive!
@9:07 I agree 100%
Only a sheep would post without your real name.
If they are illegal they are not wanted here. If you want illegals then move Earnhard
Religious persecution by whom? MUSLIMS?
@ 7:00pm. Exactly.
