To be a true American is to seek opportunity, work hard and keep fruits of your labor. Anything else is UN-American. The constitution explicitly states that there will be no official religion established. And all those who wrote the constitution descended from immigrants.

After the first generation you are no longer an immigrant. So stuff all the virtue signalling.

I'd argue that the first settlers were not immigrants, but refugees from political and religious persecution in Europe.

It's just that there wasn't anybody already here to grant them asylum; they made the land for themselves.

Except for the native American Indians, of course.

What part of “ourselves and OUR posterity” did you miss?
Not Pradeep’s posterity.
