I take exception to (only) one of your statements. Not all of us came from somewhere else. Native Americans (aka "Indians") were here when the first "settlers" arrived and our history with regard to their treatment is not something of which I am proud. If there were to be reparations I have to believe they belong to those whose land we (settlers and their progeny) confiscated for our own use, while we exiled them to reservations in areas we found less attractive and/or useful.
