Immigrant means that a person entered a country after it was formed. More Americans are natives than immigrants. Immigration department was set up to keep us more native than immigrant.
That is false, except maybe in the south. Was <10% in my hometown.

Uh, there are currently over 300 million Americans, and around 2.5 million back during the nation's founding. I find it hard to believe that most of the 300 million Americans are descended from those 2.5 million folks, especially considering the giant waves of immigration that in single years easily outnumbered the nation's population back in 1776.

You'd surprised low death rate + lots of kids = fast population growth. New England got very little immigration (society was too closed, theocracies are unappealing) until about 1840, and migration stopped around 1660 or so to a trickle.
Hard to find accurate numbers, but it had a population of 60,000 in 1678 and 1.6 million in 1820.
Our family tree has come from one page to several each generation. It certainly is possible and probable. Each time an immigrant has a child born in the USA, that child is a native, not an immigrant. What is so hard to understand about that. Some natives do not even come from American citizens. That we are a nation of immigrants is a false statement. For that to happen would make it necessary for us to have more immigrants each year than natives. I don't think that has happened YET.
Ok. Fine. I should have written we are: "a nation of immigrant descendants*"
It is sad that what is normal in rural America does not work elsewhere. America would be a much better country if it did.
Rural America is basically the poorest, least educated, least productive, most subsidized, and most reactionary cohort of American society.
There are certainly positive things about rural life but give me a break. Almost everyone with an education moves to an urban area (not necessarily because they hate rural life but for job opportunities).

In the rural south. In the rural Midwest, a majority were no descended from colonial-era natives. What's wrong with America = descendants of immigrants? It's usually a point of pride. As in our family was living somewhere unpleasant in the Old World, they came here, worked hard, made a better life for themselves here. That's what made America great, but don't forget where you came from!

And to answer the post right above mine; more Americans were born to natives in this country instead of immigrants so that statement is false too. It is a false PC statement that someone started and caught on but FALSE it is.
Yes, in the sense most Americans have both parents who were born here. [Curious about numbers] But it is false that most Americans are descended from the colonial residents at the time of independence.
