Cmon Bro we are NOT immigrants!
Immigrant implies a voluntary migration. We (ADOS/Freedmen)are not Native to the Americas but we are not immigrants in the classical sense. That's why so many of us get upset when U.S. politicians keep using "this is a Nation of immigrants" talking points, while ignoring the fact that the people whose labor made this country wealthy were not immigrants.
Until there is a more comprehensive term, that's what our ancestors were. I totally agree that we're technically 'not' immigrants. Check this out, though...
