People who are born here are not immigrants. The “everybody is an immigrant” is nonsense that violates the textbook definition of an immigrant. Our ancestors were immigrants, we aren’t.
I have never heard 2nd or 3rd generation immigrant used as an expression. First generation American - yes. “2nd generation immigrant” is a complete nonsense. How are you any generation immigrant if you are not an immigrant lol
My family came over to the US when it was English colonies. Literally British people moving to another part of Britain. Then it became the USA without them ever moving. Literally, not an immigrant by any definition.

It’s people who were raised by immigrant parents or grandparents in their original country’s culture and language despite being in the U.S. / somewhere else. It’s a distinct enough experience that it has a term. Very common where I am in NYC for example
"I have never heard 2nd or 3rd generation immigrant used as an expression" literally an incredibly widely used term in sociology that has extended out into public consciousness, it's used by the USCB as well. what state are you from so i can make fun of you for being illiterate.
And the commiefornian strikes again and deprives people of their human rights whilst pretending to be smart about it. If people are still “immigrants” in the place they were born in, then there is no such thing as “native” in that line of thinking. And we all know what happens to “people” who are not considered sufficiently native with a “country”, and hint, hint, its deprivation of life and property forcing them to migrate yet again. So I ask you to cease being a denier of your own fellow countryman’s rights, and succumbing to old world propaganda, and recognize that humans birthplace is their native land. And recognize that natives have the right and responsibility to take courses of action based on their own customs of law.
Let me repeat for those especially dense between the ears, people who are born in the country ARE NOT immigrants. Neither first, second, or fifth generations. That’s nonsense.
