americangirl - I responded to your response over in the Quotes-related thread - thanks!

I think history illustrates that our ancestors were nomadic. If it weren't for adventurous, nomadic spirits like the immigrants who came to America from England, none of us would be here. So YES, America is a nation that was founded by immigrants.

And YES, there were people already occupying this land; but as history states, humans settled all over this earth in just about the same way: they battled, conquered and occupied. That's the way things happened. It's a fact, so get over it.

Europeans occupied the U.S. over 2 1/2 centuries ago. The so-called indigenous people (who, in fact were not indigenous) who were already here, were unable to maintain their dominance here. Again, that's history. It's just the way it was.

Does it mean that modern living Americans of European ancestry are evil? Of course not. First of all, it was the way of the world to battle, barter and trade for dominance of territories. So what the Europeans did when they came to America was quite natural.

Second, our European ancestors did not land on the banks of a modern, democratic society with a free-market capitalistic economy, a thriving middle-class, advanced medicine, wonderful bustling cities, great universities, and a pioneering space program. Rather, our ancestors landed on the banks of a rmostly empty and unexplored land, with uncrossable mountains, unswimmable rivers, fierce cold and searing heat. They sweated, labored and even died to build this country into what it is today.

So when the Mestizos who flood here by the thousands every day, claim they have a right to be in our great country because we stole it from them centuries ago, they are so misguided and so far off-base, they just don't know what they're talking about.

Extremely well said, american girl. Nice analysis!
