@JimJamSWFC94@ryanvisconti Iโm American and I agree with this. Itโs absolutely correct. My own earliest American ancestors were British settlers (my pedigree ultimately became much more diverse).
@sharghzadeh@willsextonx This is overblown. Iโm second generation Italian American and Italy is a foreign country to me. I didnโt speak a word of Italian until I studied it in college. โBack homeโ is simply a romantic memory for some people. My โback homeโ is the USA.

@pegobry_en Hart-Celler also only allowed 125,000-150,000 legal immigrants per year, if Iโm not mistaken. Those numbers were greatly expanded by later acts of Congress.
