There is a hint of truth to the contention, usually cited by leftists with nefarious motives, that the United States is a “nation of immigrants.” Every human being in this country, after all, either came here themselves or are descended from ancestors who came here. This also includes Indians, who, leftists will be loath to admit, migrated to this continent from Asia.

You might wonder why I still use the term Indian. It’s because, as Matt Walsh recently pointed out, white people descended from Europeans are in fact the real Native Americans. They founded the country we call America. They brought the culture here. They tamed the wilderness. They created the infrastructure, laws, and civilization that laid the framework for the greatest, most successful country the world has ever known.

The mostly nomadic previous inhabitants of the land, the people hero Christopher Columbus endearingly named “Indians,” while admirable and worthy of respect in many ways, did little to contribute to the country we know of as the United States of America, and so are not 'native' Americans in any meaningful sense. But their ancestors did immigrate here like everyone else, so we all get credit for THAT, I suppose.

Interestingly, the descendants of white Europeans have been on this continent much longer than most people think. In fact, upwards of 85% of the more than 2 million........
