Pay attention. What's being said is no one's family...your genes going back...originated here.
Are you Irish? Polish? English?Spanish? French? Italian?
I'm POSITIVE YOU....have a starting nationality you call yourself.
Any "nationality" denotes where your ancestors CAME from in the beginning...and unless you're Native like me....it wasn't here. But..I was born here too like you.
Get it? 9th grade history. Youre welcome. God bless.

So anyone born here can’t be called a foreigner?

How could they be a foreigner if they have never been anywhere else?

I'm not certain you understood DerBeobachter2's point. My take on it is that everyone, except Native Americans, are foreigners from another land.

I only ask because I’ve seen politically charged debates where whole swaths of people are referred to as immigrants even if their children were born here.

My daughter is an immigrant from Bolivia.
My father in law was an immigrant from Switzerland.
My neighbor on the right is an immigrant from Ireland.
My neighbors behind me are immigrants from S. Africa.
All integrated just fine.
But the fact of the matter is this ... having such a high
number of people who aren't born here and who have to
integrate into a society that is losing it's cohesiveness ...
that's going to make things difficult.
By 2040 1/4 of people living here will be foreign born.
That's HUGE. A 'commonality' will be lost. The thing
that holds a country together will be missing. That can
only be good for our enemies and the globalists.
