All nations are nations of immigrants other than maybe the cradle of humankind. They stop being that generally when the state and benefits get so expensive that administrating them and paying for them becomes a huge burden. The original immigrants to America fought the land and many died to tame it. Coming now to take is not the same thing. Particularly when you can fly in, give birth to an American, and fly out again.
