Where are we from?
Almost everybody in America is either an immigrant, or are descended from immigrants. The only exception would be people who are 100-percent Native American (yes, they probably did immigrate from Asia thousands of years ago, but they are rightly considered the only indigenous Americans), although quite a few of us can legitimately claim to be at least partly descended from Native Americans.
Most of us have ancestors from several places, and many of us are not fully aware of our background.
