I'm not a racist. I was born and raised in this country, therefore I am not an immigrant. My parents were born here and so were my grandparents (dad's side), therefore they aren't immigrants either. My mom's parents might have been immigrants though...not entirely sure. My great grandmother on my mom's side of the family however was from Germany and was one of the very few who managed to escape alive from the Auschwitz extermination camp during WW2.
You need to quit your complaining. You could never have had it bad as my great grandmother or any other refugee who managed to escape those camps or are/were prisoners of war in other countries.
hahaha...xenophobe. Do you even know what that means? It means someone who can not tolerate light or is afraid of light.
Why don't you get go get a job? I work very hard and don't need or want to pay extra taxes just so you can sit around on your lazy *** and eat bon bons all day. You were probably canned because you weren't doing your job.

Hey Mr. Ape, I am right here, and to let you know I already asked if this was the real Pancha or a poser on an earlier question !! And like with most posers I skip the rest of their questions.
Do your homework before you decide to call someone out Mr.Sharktroll. hagd :)
And to answer the Q, NO we are not ALL immigrants, I was born in the US, that means I didn't immigrate here, nor did my parents, grandparents, great grandparents or great great grandparents. Further than that, not sure. Considering where my roots are from, I would say my family has been here for ALONG time. So yea I don't think you could call me an immigrant !!

This Is a Nation of Immigrants ...Well then are you ready...If you are discussing immigration with a friend, you are likely to hear him reflexively blurt out the gem: "this is a nation of immigrants." When he does, simply point out to him that eighty-five percent of the residents of the United States were born here.
How could that preponderance of homegrown Americans justify us being called a "nation of immigrants"?
Certainly we are descendants of immigrants (as is everyone in the world), but that is not the same thing as being an immigrant.
Anyway, such a statement is no justification for continued mass immigration. The inference that "We are a nation of immigrants and, therefore, we must not limit immigration" is a classic example of circular argument.
What is says is this: Because we are a nation of immigrants, we have to allow for massive immigration which, in turn, makes us a nation of immigrants. Hence its circularity.
Circular arguments are invalid in the logical sense by virtue of how they are structured and not what do they mean. They lead to faulty (and, therefore, useless) reasoning in which the thesis (the very thing which is to be proved) is used as a premise in its proof.
And circular arguments certainly do not form a good basis on which to formulate sound public policy.
And Just incase you want to argue anything else............
Your Ancestors Were IMMIGRANTS!!
OK, yes, my ancestors came from somewhere other than North America. So did yours. So did everyone else's, in fact —including those of the Native Americans. No matter where you live in the world, in fact, you have an ancestor from somewhere else.
In other words, every nation is a "nation of immigrants;" the slogan is meaningless and certainly no basis for public policy.
Just because a policy was appropriate in the past does not mean it is necessarily eternally good. That my ancestors were immigrants is irrelevant to the formation of a prudent public policy today.
If my ancestors were pioneers, am I constrained to advocate expansionism?

As an immigrant myself, I can most definately prove that I got to the US legally, as did my family. Furthermore, I can also prove that before that my family lived, for over 400 years, in another country legally.
As to being racist, you would be very mistaken. I am a white Latina. I am also an attorney. The issue is not immigration it is legality.
By confusing the two issues groups like La Raza have lost the battle. Yes, I know no one complains about the illegals crossing over from Canada (and they do), but lets leave that for another time. The issue we need to address is illegal immigration. It is terrible for the US quality of life, the US wage scale, and the safety of the US. Illegal immigration needs to stop.
A diverse US is the history of the US. Anyone who wants to apply for a permanent visa is welcome. They do not break the law.

We're not all immigrants really-- I am -- but people born in the US are not immigrants. And I DO care if somebody comes here legally or not.
Yes, I can prove legal immigration status. Can you?
Illegal means that-- illegal --- The law says what must happen for somebody to immigrate here. If you don't follow the law, you're not here legally. I don't care what immigration policies were years ago-- we have laws now.
Your ignorance also shows-- Cherokee is only ONE of 100's of Native american tribes. Being native has nothing to do with being an immigrant.

No we are not all immigrates you are wrong. But it not about legal immigrants-it is about laws. And some choose to disobey them. Yes I can prove my ancestry-but I don't have to you who ever you are. Why does that make some so jealous anyone can look up theirs-takes time and research?
Here I am Ape man-Shark hunter.
Funny how you only pick out some impostors and not others. It is sad that is how some get their jollies. Some it appears did it out of defence. I am including this on this post.
Since someone said on board that Yahoo said I have an extra ID--I would like him (he did change names fast-maybe a she and I saved post. On a deleted Renagate post ) to print that here for me so I can ask Yahoo--along with their ID, who said this! And who from Yahoo wrote this. This is a True Challenge--let me see that post from Yahoo and the proof. I plan on taking it to the Corporate office personally soon if they care to share. Well Analysis?
Ape and Barbie can pass that along if you please. Thank You for more information.

I'm not an immigrant, have a birth certificate that proves I was born here in Chicago, 5th generation.
I am Irish, German, and American Indian(Sioux); however ask me what nationality I am and I'll reply American. I claim no loyalty to any other people or country other than the one I was born in and served. If sent to any other foreign country for another war, whether it be Ireland or Germany, I'd kill their men, women, and children just to get back home, just as easily as any one else. That's the difference between me and you, I will fight for any race or religion as long as they're an American, period. But I could care less about somebody who comes here and will never embrace our morals or laws, and who care nothing of our history and the men and women who have given everything they possibly could, unselfishly for me.
Have fun watching Jerry Springer while I'm at work making money, not excuses. And by the way, your welcome.

Hey beanerette. You are not a real beaner because they work for a living and do not lay around on a couch living off of unemployment checks. You are product of whites raping indian girls so you have white blood pumping in your lazy brown skin and is why you are comfortable on the couch instead of working. I don't need to prove anything. Do you? In regards to being cherokee or any other native american they migrated from from Asia through Alaska, the first illegals. If you ever had a dispute with a Cherokee or any other redskin trash you would know why they had to be exterminated. You can't reason with native american trash so you have to kill them and that is why what is left of them are in internment camps called reservations. Whites suck but took the initiative to take what they want. Whites are on the run now, sold out by their greed. Blacks and hispanics are taking the white mans scraps and are destroying this country. The rich people and politicians have no real plan for the future. So just live your life out the best you can and quit blaming anything on anyone but yourself. You are the center of your own universe and are responsible for any of your own misfortune. No one cares about your whore grandma who got gang banged for two cents a shot to sneak across the border to get more street corner money where she met your illegal grandpa that pimped her out to show that she had potential to earn more and be a more successful whore. Welcome to america you unemployed leech. Brown people can't seperate the color of their anus from their overall skin color and can't find their anus to wipe it because it is camoflaged.

An immigrant is someone that moves to one country from another country. Not someone that was born in that country.
1) Unlike the Mexicans, my grandparents learned English when they came here. But they were smart enough to, unlike the Mexicans.
2) Since my parents' birth certificates both say they were born in US cities, I would say that shows they were born here.
3) Same for my birth certificate.
