In a land of immigrants, one was not an alien but simply the latest arrival.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most previous immigrants came to the United States to become Americans, with no intention of returning home. They relinquished their ties with their homeland. English was their key to prosperity, and they worked hard to master it.
Considering our history, I can think of nothing more American than an immigrant.
President Donald Trump seems to have made me an alien.
The United States is historically a nation of immigrants.
First of all, we haven't always welcomed immigrants.
In our community here in Boston, we have had a tremendous influx of Russian Jews and Haitians. We call these people immigrants. But they come for the same reasons that William Bradford and William Brewster and John Carver came.
People tend to forget that in our country, we'd pretty much all be immigrants, except for the Native Americans.
The best migrant is the migrant who does not come.
My folks came to U.S. as immigrants, aliens, and became citizens. I was born in Boston, a citizen, went to Hollywood and became an alien.
I see myself as a transient, not an immigrant.
