The bleeding hearts love to tell you we're a nation of immigrants. The difference is, my family, like so many others, came here as legal immigrants...to be American.
Hook, line, and sinker.
Second generation American here…and I don't speak a lick of Slovak.
Immigrants who fought their asses off to be Americans, to contribute to America, to build America, believed it shameful to take handouts from America, and even willingly paid the ultimate sacrifice for America.
Edit: I am second generation English on father's side and third generation Italian on mother's side. Having finally had the opportunity to vacation in Italy, a country with awe-inspiring history and scenic beauty, I remain forever grateful that my great grandparents dared to leave their home and become American.
