re: I'm really sick of the "we are a nation of immigrants" propaganda.

Now you might be against illegal immigration, but that doesn't mean you should just cut out a large chunk of our nation's history because it doesn't fit your short-term political goals.
But when you say "we are a nation of immigrants" you are cutting out approximately 88% of America.
We are more than just a nation of immigrants.

My ancestors moved to the Acadian Coast of the Isle of Orleans during the mid 1700s at the request of the Spanish Governor.

To draw a bright line and say, "well your parents were immigrants, but you are technically aren't" is disingenuous to the point of dishonesty. The families of immigrants are different than the families that trace back their ancestry for 100 years. And even then you can tell the Irish from the Italian from the Polish. Immigration as a phenomenon is bigger than the single person (and his generation) that moves here.
