Are you a Native American?
Five million of us are but I would guess however that you are an immigrant or a descendant of a number of them.

No, you might want to hide your card. You don't make America great. Immigrants do. You should be thankful that all those immigrants came here and took over and set you natives aside so the country could be great. And flashing your card around will just expose you as one those who couldn't do it. You know, like you're inferior. |

Oh, so becoming an immigrant gives one the power to make a country great. That must be why an immigrant to a new country can't make the country he came from great. He wasn't an immigrant there.
And that must mean natives should step aside and let the immigrants take over if they want their country to be great.
BS. |

Why couldn't they make England great? The immigrants going to England are making it great. London is finally great now.
Did the original colonists come here "for a better life" because what awaited them was a developed country ready to give them that better life, or because they could build that life themselves? Because they could create their version of a better life? Because they would finally be free to do so? Did they seek a better life in a place that offered it, ready made? Or did they seek the freedom to create one? And was freedom to make one's life and fortune the distinguishing character of the country they created, and which was the attraction for immigrants many years thereafter? Immigrants who, for those many years were given basically nothing other than freedom and responsibility? Was it immigration that made this country great? Or was it freedom?
I did not get an F in history? I'm thinking I probably did, at the least, as well as you?
