There ya go, that's how out of touch this president is. I'm not an immigrant, how about you, janetgreen, are you an immigrant? In fact there hasn't been an "immigrant" to this country in my family since the 1600's.
Nope, WIA, I was born in the good ol' USA when it was still America. My grandma from Hungary) came here as a child at the turn of the century, LEGALLY.
"There ya go, that's how out of touch this president is. I'm not an immigrant, how about you, janetgreen, are you an immigrant? In fact there hasn't been an "immigrant" to this country in my family since the 1600's."
First of all, this country did not exist in the 1600s.
Second, in the quote you used, it said a country "of immigrants". The word "of" is key here. The President did not say a country "by" immigrants which is your argument, and you would be correct if he had said "by immigrants" becuase he would have been saying each of us, for the most part, are immigrants. What he did say was "of immigrants", which means we are a country made up from immigrants, like your ancestors from the 1600s.
I did not immigrate here, but my ancestors did, and that makes my family "of immigrants". The same goes for anyone else who is not 100% American Indian.
