And of the remaining 300+M virtually none are native americans ;)
Historically relevant, not legally in the current context. I sympathize with the distinction, but it is important if we are to consider that nations have borders and that will remain into the future. We should enable reasonable and tangible paths to citizenship, but a free for all is untenable. Otherwise, we arrive at the current situation where how the laws are applied changes from administration to administration.
