I have no problem with immigrants and people who want to come into the country legally. It's the ILLEGAL ones that are the problem.

If your parents are legal citizens of the USA and you are born here or (elsewhere), you are a legal citizen of this great country! Thus, we are NOT all Immigrants! Yes, we all have different heritage, our ancestors came here from elsewhere.
That is part of what makes this country great!
I would presume that even Native Americans came here from elsewhere, which would (for all facts and figures, I guess) make us all immigrants! (Just shot myself in the foot. Ouch)!
However, we are all one people as well! We are all humankind! No-one owns a particular area of land. It belongs to every person on this planet ... Past, Present and Future!
So, to where are each of us supposed to return? My heritage is English, German, Russian and some I don't know of. I am uncomfortable with splitting myself into many portions!
In short ... the age old question rings out ... Why can't we all just get along?
Hope this helps,
IMHO

The only non-immigrants are the natives (indians) who truly owned the land. We should do right by them. It's futility to attempt to send every immigrant back. All won't simply go. What we do is to tolerate others who live within the confines of the law of the land. No we should not all go back.

We are not all immigrants. Anyone born here is a citizen. Anyone who went through all legal processes is a citizen. Don't live in the past.

Everyone everywhere is an ancestral immigrant. The Garden of Eden was our place and we were kicked out of there. Where exactly do you think everyone should go?

I am not an immigrant, I was born here.

My family came to this country in 1622, not sure who I would give it back to!
