Go Back Where You Came From!

“If you don’t like what’s going on here, go back where you came from!” Many are saying it. Others are thinking it.

If a lot of the folk—actually, almost all—spouting that nonsense would give their family tree a shake and look at what falls out, they’ll find their ancestors were not indigenous (native) to this country. The United States of America is a huge melting pot of immigrants.

Here’s my question for the folk who want me to go back where I came from. Where? My ancestry is African, Native American, European, Middle Eastern, Spanish, and Jewish. Where exactly is it you’re telling me to go?

If everyone--including the US President who has a German ancestry--who descended from immigrants left this country, the population would DRASTICALLY decrease.

The retort, “If you don’t like what’s going on here, go back where you came from!” is just ig…um…uninformed.

This is my personal takeaway from Mary L. Trump’s book.
