Actually, Americans built this country. Immigration averaged only 235,000 persons per year prior to the disastrous 1965 Immigration Act. That’s only 47 million immigrants over the course of our nation’s history.

Compared to our current population of nearly 300 million, that’s not much. And then, if we add all the people who have lived before in the United States, we are approaching a billion total Americans who live now or who have lived in this country—all of them, or at least most of them, busy "building" it.

And maybe at some point we should stop “building?”
