I am not an IMMIGRANT. I was born HERE. I am an American Citizen.
Someone in my past like my great great grandmother or possible great great great grandfather may have been an immigrant in this country, but I AM NOT AN IMMIGRANT. I was born in this country!
Some people claiming we are "all" immigrants are clearly unaware of what the word means.

I'm not the cat lady type. I'm more like an actual cat. I want affection when I want it and on my own terms. The rest of the time I want to claw out your eyes and piss in your shoes.

Though some people do use "we are all immigrants" to refer to that fact that most people's family line does not come from people who lived on this land before it was founded.
I don't understand that thinking. If we consider that, then every would technically be immigrants from Africa, where humanity originated.
People simply try to sound smart and almost philosophical. In the truest sense of the word, you aren't an immigrant.
I, however, was not born here and am a naturalized citizen. I have a weird background in that my Mother and her siblings were all born citizens but in a different country, along with my grandmother and her siblings. The immigration laws were a little more lax back then and by sheer default because my great-grandfather was an American citizen, all his children were born American citizens and it extended to his children's children. I, however, had to apply and was naturalized when I was about 8.
I am sorry but saying "we are all immigrants" is incorrect. I am not an immigrant and technically no I am still not an immigrant.
I am not anything, im not mexican, im not english, japanese, irish, french, IM NOT ONE SINGLE THING.
Therefore I am not an immigrant.
