What I wanted to say is that this country was built by immigrants: the
native Americans. This is an issue that has been brought up over and over
again. This nation was built by immigrants who took over, and not very
fairly, either, in a country that didn't belong to them. Aside from that,
that's past we can let it go, but then even more recently, the Irish-Americans
came along, the Italian-Americans, more recently, the Czechoslovakians
have come and the only reason that Latin Americans are paid so much attention
to is because we do keep coming. But we are not coming for any other reason
than those folks did. And awareness needs to be raised so that we all
understand and get to know one another. But our reasons for being here
are no different than all those immigrants that have come.
