That's exactly what it is.

My grandparents on both sides of the family did just that.
My grandmother came over on the boat carrying my newborn mother.
Her husband, my grandfather, died in an accident so my grandma was on her own
and since America was the place of opportunity, she immigrated, LEGALLY.

True.
And unlike the past where immigrants on their way to Ellis Island would cry
when they saw The Statue Of Liberty, these days far too many come here and
trash the country.
Rep Llhan Omar is a high profile example.
Total hypocrites.

Many don't even know what they are protesting and when asked by the media
they are clueless.
I've watched many a video where college students are supporting Palestine by
chanting "from the river to the sea", yet when asked to name the river and sea,
they cannot.
It's sheer lunacy.
