[Count of Monte Fisto]

Among all 25- to 34-year-olds living in the United States, 10.6 percent of those with masters, professional or doctoral degrees are foreign born,

If we stopped immigration those with degrees would be 100% native born.

We are not a nation of immigrants. Colonists and pioneers carved this nation out of the wilderness with their bare hands. Immigrants showed up later.

“We are not a nation of immigrants. Colonists and pioneers carved this nation out of the wilderness with their bare hands. Immigrants showed up later.”

If the immigrants who “showed up” between 1890 and 1940 hadn’t “showed up”, you would have been writing that in German or Japanese.

We are not a nation of immigrants. Colonists and pioneers carved this nation out of the wilderness with their bare hands. Immigrants showed up later.

And 85% of us were born here. We are not a nation of immigrants. For those who think we are, then what nation is not a nation of immigrants? Ever since man left the Great Rift Valley in Africa man has migrated around the globe including across the Siberian land bridge 20,000 years ago into North, Central, and South America. The so called native-born Americans are just earlier immigrants.
