We are a nation of LEGAL immigrants. Here's an example of how America was settled:
After the 30 Years War in Europe many German Protestants tried very hard to get to America, because in their homeland their homes were being burnt to the ground by Catholics. Some of these so-called Palatinates (Lutherans living in a Catholic area of Germany) were sent to Northern Ireland, because they were not allowed into America (this is when England decided who was allowed to emigrate to America). Others ended up in England and never made it here. Without LEGAL permission, they did not enter. It was that simple. That is what LAW abiding people do.
That is just the experience of one group of early American immigrants. Many more groups came here, but their stories all include the word LEGAL.

Hello, I'm not sure you understand what I've been addressing. I've been addressing a statement made by "MissAmericanPie" in which she said:

"Anyone you know have an immgrant in their family for the last three hundred years?"

I didn't see the word LEGAL in that statement.
