Well does this mean that when debating immigration, that those in favor of unending mass levels of it can no longer say with pious righteousness to their opponents; "unless you're a Native American then you have no right to complain"?

But I AM a native American, having been born here, raised here, and lived my entire life here. Of course, the same could not be said for my four grandparents, who were all immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia.

Well yes, most Americans are in fact native-born Americans, and I prefer 'American Indian' to 'Native American' to describe that ethnic group(s).

I was just trying to be sarcastic about one of the more irrelevant and meaningless points I often hear when immigration is discussed.
