And dont give me any of that 'well youre ancestors were immigrants too' bullshit. Yeah, they were, and they were the ones who fuckin built this nation.

Sure. I agree with you for that, but there are processes in place, my parents followed the rules that were put in place. They applied for working visas, my father as an mechanical engineer and my mom as a medical technologist.
Ironically, people are still coming to this country with working visas for these careers because there aren't enough Americans who are going to school for these careers at the time. Thus no jobs were taken. Now, fast forward to today, those same careers are still importing people and giving them visas because Americans are not going to school for these types of careers.
My parents didn't raise me in YOUR house, I lived in OUR house that they bought and paid for it with their own sweat and tears.
I didn't grow up eating YOUR food, I grew up eating OUR food, that they purchased, prepared, and served.
As far as those people who built this nation, they paved the way... the immgrants built the nation. From slaves (still an immigrant just a forced one) to the Chinese (railroad builders) to the Mexican migrant workers that pick the produce and work the fields.
