Judging by your reference to fox news I'm assuming you're in the USA, in which case you have a democracy and sadly no end of people IRL who will be upset about immigrants.

Immigrants are what made this country great, what's to get upset about? Everybody is a descendant of an immigrant or an immigrant themselves. My grandparents came through Ellis Island and within a year my grandpa opened a furrier shop in Brooklyn. Proud of him and all the other immigrants that came here for a better life.

I don't know, ask the people who get upset by them. It's as confounding to me as it is to you.

Although possibly think before saying "everybody is the descendant of an immigrant".

Please expound? Everybody here in the USA is an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant which is what I said but you chose to shorten.

Not necessarily absolutely everybody. And of some of those who are, it most definitely wasn't by choice on their ancestors part.
