Yup, that was a pretty bone-headed comment. The beautiful thing about the US is that most people come here (definitely most of those from East Asia) wanting to become Americans. Except for Canada, there is no other country in the world that holds that promise. You might move to Germany and find a way to become a citizen, but they will never recognize you as German. We are all imported, except for the American Indian.

“Nonresident aliens received a similar share of engineering
degrees in 2011 and 2010. The proportion of nonresident aliens that received a doctorate remained the same as 2010 at 54.2 percent, while the proportion of those receiving master’s degrees decreased from 46.1 percent in 2010 to 44.4 percent in 2011.”
Deal with the facts.

They were self-imported from Siberia. No human beings are indigenous to the Americas, they all came from somewhere else.
