Good stuff. Go there. Read it.

“We are a nation of immigrants”—NOT!
"Let us be clear about this. To say that we are a “nation of immigrants” is to say that there has never been an American people apart from immigrants. It is to put America out of existence as a historically existing nation that immigrants and their children joined by coming here, a country with its own right to exist and to determine its own sovereign destiny, which includes the right to permit immigration or not. No patriot, no decent person who actually loves this country—as distinct from loving some wacked-out, anti-national, liberal idea of this country—would call it a “nation of immigrants.” Any elected official who utters the subversive canard that America is a “nation of immigrants” should, at the least, find his phone lines tied up with calls from irate constituents."
