Immigrants didn't build this country. Americans did, imbecile.
If my family has been here for six generations, and they all had jobs, how
can it be said that America was built by immigrants. If my case is typical,
only 1/6 of America has been built by immigrants.
Now, if having been built by an immigrant means that for the rest of
eternity anyone calling himself an immigrant has carte blanche, then I say
we settle the problem once and for all. We should turn over 1/6 of the U.S.
land mass, declare it as having been "built by immigrants", open its borders
and let everybody in the world move there.
Alaska would fit the bill nicely. We might even be able to trick Russia into
buying it back first.
Immigration averaged only 235,000 persons per year prior to the disastrous
1965 Immigration Act. That's only 47 million immigrants over the course of
our nation's history. Compared to our current population of 270 million,
that's not much. And then, if we add all the people who have lived before in
the United States, we are approaching a billion total Americans who live now
or have lived in this country--all of them, or at least most of them, busy
"building" it.
