Understanding were immigrants in general fit in to any nation is a far from simple challenge. While it seams like it should be a no brainier, this is something that has never been simple for any nation to figure out. Through out history there are examples of how different nations and peoples have dealt with the reality that humans can and will move from place to place. Thinking of the origins of America as a nation and the reliance that this country has had to have on immigration reviles a complicated and rocky relationship between the topics, that is far from logical. Trying to change the history of our nation to cover up the existence of peoples and events that are awkward to us is apparently just the SOP. Now admittedly there are not really any humans on earth who have not polished up stuff for the history books, it an inherent flaw of humans in general, but it is disturbing to see how the contents of our revisions reveal motivations so far against the stated goals of our nation.
