“America was founded as a nation of immigrants,” he says.

No it wasn’t. there is no documentation that states any of the Founding father said or wrote any such thing
and why would they ??? many of the people living in the United States in 1776 and 1789 were born here and their parents and grandparents also...
I have ancestors who were living during the American Revolution who had grandparents and even great grandparents born here.. hardly “immigrants”
Even now 2015 only 10% of the American citizens of the le living here are immigrants...
“Nation” he said Citizens make up a nation...all others are not “nationals”
There -- fixed it.
