:::I oppose any wording that says or suggests the U.S. is "a nation of immigrants" -- that term is a talking point, nothing more. CP does not deal in cliches, and such a statement isn't even true.
:::If this were the case, then every single human in every single country could be called an "immigrant" -- the French and Germans are not native to their homelands, they came in the 4th and 5th centuries. The Celts, who lived there first and mixed with the Romans, also migrated several centuries earlier. The "native" Americans (American Indians) also originally migrated. The vast majority of people in this country were born in and rooted in this country, making them natives.
:::This country is a nation of citizens -- ostensibly united by our shared love for the Constitution/Bill of Rights and the freedoms contained within them. We will not add any wording even alluding to the "nation of immigrants" talking point. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 18:28, 17 April 2019 (EDT)
