This "nation of immigrants" baloney is just that. The vast majority of Americans are not immigrants. They were born here.

From Craig Nelsen:

The inference that "We are a nation of immigrants and, therefore, we must not limit immigration" is a classic example of CIRCULAR ARGUMENT.

What it says is this: Because we are a nation of immigrants, we have to allow for massive immigration which, in turn, makes us a nation of immigrants. Hence its circularity.

Circular arguments are invalid in the logical sense by virtue of HOW they are structured and not WHAT do they mean. They lead to a faulty (and, therefore, useless) reasoning in which the thesis (the very thing which is to be proved) is used as a premise in its proof.

The "nation of immigrants" drivel is rather idiotic and totally false. I don't know why people keep repeating it.

EVERY nation is a nation of immigrants. It just depends on where you draw the 'here before' line. England is a nation of Immigrants, France is a nation of Immigrants, Saudi is a nation of immigrants...EVERY nation is a nation of immigrants.

I am so disappointed that the highest majority of Americans want a visable solution to the flow of illegals, but our leaders are not listening. In fact, the closer to elections, the more they seem to pander.

Because they are misguided, or they have an agenda.
