Immigration: Hands up if all your ancestors were born in the USA!?

Question

Those of you who have your hands up, back of the class!! The place was empty for millions of years and even the native Americans came in from Asia. And, for those of you who go off on the cheese eating peacenik bender, it's possible even they were predated by a culture that cam over from France.

Now, children, go and find a stranger and be nice to them.

Answer 1

The problem is not with immigration. The problem is with those that would enter our country illegally.
As a U.S. citizen, enter any other country illegally and see the consequences of doing so are. Why does the world think we should have open borders to all those that wish to cross it when most protect their borders with their military and many of those will shoot to kill?

Answer 2

Oh, very picky. I wasn't born in America, thankfully. I'm Scottish. My parents are Scottish, and going back at least two hundred years all my family are Scottish.

However, if you go back far enough (via DNA testing) I'm seventy five percent Scottish, fifteen percent Scandanavian and ten percent Russian.

Find me a pure blooded native of anywhere and I'll tell you they're lying.

There's no such thing.

Your point about native Americans not having been from their originally is a moot point. Everyone came from somewhere. And technically, going by evolution, we're all African as that's where man spread from.

Liked your point about the French tribe. Still not a fully accepted theory but the evidence is pretty good. Identical microliths found on sites in France and the US... If these things had been made by different people they wouldn't have been identical, and they've been found on sites dated within a tiny window of history on either side of the Atlantic.

definite her 4xgreat-grandmothers Mildred Porteus (1744-1815) and a few of her ancestors, have been born in Virginia in what's now the country. right it incredibly is the relationship linking the Queens together with her ahnentafel numbers (m = mom, f = father of previous get right of entry to): one million.

Answer 4

Well, I'd have to say that your information is absolutely incorrect as to how people (or their ancestors) "arrived" anywhere. At least some of it is incorrect. There have been very informative recreations and researches into the history regarding the land masses now called Continents, and other countries.

Seems that the Continents, and country land masses of today were all one big piece of property. Earthquakes, Tsunami's, and other natural disasters not only broke them apart, but spread them out. With both people and animals drifting on them. Don't think so?! Check it all out. Because the land masses are still moving about. They say that Australia moves 1 to 2 inches North annually. And if Australia is stilling moving (drifting) then so are the other land masses.

But yes, after all the land was broken up and drifted apart, there were others who explored and legally immigrated to other parts of the world thereafter. So the majority of my ancestors were already here, while a few others arrived later from distant lands.

Answer 5

Well my Mama and Daddy and gradpa and great grandpa were all from the USA, before that we came from many different places, Italy, Ireland, England, and Germany to name but a few.
All of my ancestors could not have been born here, b/c everyone has immigration somewhere down the line, were not that old of a nation for heaven's sakes.

Answer 6

My ancestors came from England and Germany. They came to America legally, filled out all the forms, took the tests, learned the language, etc. This entitled them and all their descendants to American citizenship.
I am sure you believe your little rant somehow supports illegal immigration. Go back and think about it some more. Surely even someone like you understands the difference between legal immigration and illegal. Or maybe not. Perhaps I am giving you too much credit.

Answer 7

Not likely this has happened ...ever.
Supposedly, most people in the world come from one, original mother. Your/our ancestor.

So there is that cuteness to life. Yes be friendly.

But Yada, Yada, Yada ...that was then, this is NOW.

As you send others to the rear bring yourself up and into ...the here and the NOW.

There are limits to all good things. Thirty? Would you slake your thirst with a drink ...that would drown you?
When will you stop your drink? When your thirst is through.
And you can go on living in comfort and well being, procreate and slowly grow to allow others to come in and grace you with their friendship and trade.

All/and everything at once or nothing doesn't work in the grand scheme of life. Immigration is the same in it's application and effects.

Answer 8

The first people here were the Indians. One such tribe was the Chichimecas. The Spanish came and tortured the Indians in Cuba and Mexico. Columbus came (that ball of puss) and killed off entire nations of Indians. Dig deeper and deeper, and sing the song "this land is my land, this land is your land, from California to the New York Islands..."

Answer 9

Hands up! The ones that weren't born here came on the Mayflower and other early ships, and helped FOUND this country.

Except of course for the ancestors who were here to greet them.

Answer 10

Born in America: My ancestors came before this was America, and theirs came from England.

For all the 'Native Americans', your ancestors migrated to this continent also.

The USA only became the USA in the late 1700s. So, nobody in the universe can have all their ancestors born in the USA.
