If you are talking about a tax evader, thats a different question... but everyone who isnt an "Indian" is an immigrant in America.

Your first point is a good one, but your second point is only partly true. "America" is the state established by former British (i.e. White) colonies. Your point does, however, bring up another issue: Should the American government be doing more to "feed" (i.e. help out) impoverished First Nations people as well?
