First of all, thank you for your service, Luke, and I agree with you about the big mistake that was Iraq. As far as the other points, I checked several different sources, and they all concurred that more people immigrated here than any other country.

The bigotry you speak of is, in my opinion, spread and magnified by our two ruling elites, the political class and the media. There will always be some bigotry among all walks of people, but for whatever reason, the "powers that be" have decided to fan these flames and create conflict among the citizens, who need to more than ever to come together.

Thanks for reading and weighing in!
