According to the 2020 Census, there’s probably a good 12 percent of the population who might not care to refer to their ancestors as “immigrants,” since they were forcibly brought to the US. I think we should reject “new history textbooks in Texas”-level whitewashing of history.
But I agree with the general sentiment of your comment. Nearly all of the people crying about immigration had ancestors in another country, probably on a different continent. Some are only second- or third-generation Americans. They don’t see the irony.
