Editorial: You Are Descended From Immigrants

The nation is currently up in arms about people crossing the border illegally. These illegal immigrants are supposedly ruining America with their mere presence. A lot of individuals feel that if your family does not have a history here, then you should have to go through the bureaucratic red tape set in place for people who are new to this land. If you can successfully jump through all of the hoops involved then you are deemed an American Citizen.

In fact, unless you are a Native American, you are on stolen land. When this continent was "founded" by the Spanish, it was already inhabited. This makes your ancestors illegal immigrants. It also makes you seem hypocritical when you look down on people trying to cross the border.
