Of course it is. Now if only native Americans had an INS, do you think they would have arrested those on the Mayflower for being undocumented?

Historically, the United States has opened her borders for people who want to make a better life for themselves and their families. If this country has never been a country of immigration, the only people here would be the Native Americans. However, there are laws regarding immigration to prevent the wrong people from coming here. You must have permission from the State Department officials to enter this country nowadays. If you enter the country without permission, law enforcement should send you home.

Yes. We are a country of LEGAL immigration. Nobody seems to want to recognize there is a difference between legal and illegal immigration

We are in that our history is one of immigration. As for CCC, I have worked in corporations and lived in cities where living "peacefully" next to each other is not necessarily the truth. We may all work together, but we don't always get along. I have experiences racism from various angles being Puerto Rican and Italian, and I can say from experience that, no, we do not all coexist peacefully.

There are substantially more native-born American citizens than naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal aliens /combined/. So, in that sense, no, America is a country of Americans.
OTOH, the vast majority of American citizens have ancestors who immigrated in the last couple of centuries. So, in that sense, yes, America is a country with a long history of immigration.
Take your pick.

We are a "melting pot". Immigrants are more than welcomed into our country...but only the legal ones. It is only the illegal ones that are causing all the problems.

Yes but there is a difference between coming to the country legally and illegally.

I'd say yeah since our population is growing faster then at ANY time in history!!! We're over 300 million now and have no room in schools, hospitals or with housing. We are facing shortages of gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, fresh water, etc.
But since we don't allow EVERY SINGLE PERSON who wants to come here I suppose that isn't good enough for you is it?

Thar's another lie. 85 % of americans are native which means they ARE NOT inmigrants. Their parents and/or grandparents probably were but they ARE AMERICAN BORN. . On the other hand about 95 % of the people that inmigrated to the United States before this illegal invasion were LEGAL INMIGRANTS. Stop the Lie.
