8. We Are All Immigrants
Wed Jul 15, 2026, 10:59 AM

Those who might serve to challenge U.S. citizenship rites might ought consider that we are all immigrants, even currently-identified Indigenous peoples of the Americas.

From the Internet:

Scientific consensus establishes that the ancestors of American Indians (Indigenous peoples of the Americas) originated in Asia.

Genetic, archaeological, and linguistic evidence confirms that populations migrated across the Bering Land Bridge connecting modern-day Siberia and Alaska during the last Ice Age.
