Every single person that today lives in the territory of the United States is an immigrant. They either got there thousands of years ago or thru Ellis Island.
All those blonde, blue eyed, white english speaking people that tell the rest of immigrants to "Freakin' go back if you do not like it here!" don't even belong there in the first place.
If anyone belongs there it is the Native Americans, who I believe should start kicking the rest of the people that live over there "away from their land" (at least what's left of them, since immigrants killed most of them anyways).
The Trail of Tears should've happened backwards.
My parents were immigrants once. My sister was born in British Guyana. One of my brothers was born in California. On my mother's side, my grandfather was the son of spanish jew immigrants. My grandmother was born in Madrid. I am a second generation immigrant.
Hey asshole, take a good look at your last name. Doesn't sound too "American" to me (according to your definition of "American").
I just can't believe there are people out there that still think the way you do.
You are a shame to human race.
In this world, we are ALL immigrants.

Isn’t reasonably from united state government just fire all illegal host, but they are in her right.

The best way is fight, and the immigrant are fighting, and they aren’t alone.
