The saying goes that all Americans are immigrants, yet an intelligent individual knows that many, I hope, are referring to the Founding Fathers of this nation, since one who is born in the United Sates is a citizen. This is a logical point of view: the Founding Fathers are immigrants to the continent North America, not to the country of the United Sates, as they are the ones that formed this nation. So, any one of their families have a right to be in the country of the United States. When we deport immigrants, usually Hispanics, we don’t ship them out of the continent; they are sent back to their homeland, usually the lower half of North Continent. Now, many will say that the Founding Fathers took the land from the Natives, and that we robbed them from their land. Though this is a sad fact, that is human nature, ergo: competition. Better yet, survival of the fittest. Look at the Aztecs, and how they spread. They had better weaponry, more in numbers, and were better trained. That is why they conquered and won. This is the same for the Founding Fathers. This is the same for the Natives who competed with one another as well. This is human nature that persists up to this day, such as in the Middle East and with tribes in the Amazon Jungle. My rant is not to support the stopping illegal immigration, as I favor immigration to a degree, it must be controlled, and only those with valuable skills should be allowed in, skills that will make this nation better. I digress. My rant was to share my opinion on this saying, as it is rather ignorant, and its foundation is brittle at best. A better saying would be, “Americans take their nation for granted, and know nothing of their government, politicians and laws.”
