If I remember what she said; MIT's president said 7% of America students are foreigners. At MIT, the audience was asked to raise their hands if they were born outside the US. 25% of hands went up. They were asked to keep their hands up. Those whose parents were not born in America were asked to raise hands. Something exceeding 50% of the hands. Those whose grandparent was not born in America. Something less than 100% had hands raised. Guess who are America's greatest patriots? Did they get to MIT due to the same government welfare that TheMercenary complains about? Where the best American patriots are located, the vast majority are third generation immigrants or earlier.

How to make America greater? We need more immigrants. We need less of those who fear America's greatest source of innovation. What defines the most patriotic Americans? They innovate. Hate of immigrants therefore would be anti-American.
