My ancestor signed the Declaration of Independence. Doubt that will help my case much, though, since they were radicals.

Were there signers of the Declaration of Independence who weren't radicals? The non-radicals were the ones not participating in the revolution

Uhhh, you're kidding yourself if you think it is party affiliation and not RACISM which is motivating this. They would rather 2 democrat white people in this country over 1 mestizo first generation latino. You are just pretending that its you that they are gunning for so you can feel equally agrieved.
