America was built by violent genocidal colonizers who enslaved and murdered the local population. It was built on immence violence and the rule of might. Modern day immigrants have very little in common with those who built the US, they are mostly poor people being overexploited by capitalism.
america will die
I'm not religious, but in this case: inshallah
You are more succinct than I can manage.

Return it to the natives
Oh yes. All fifteen of them would be super appreciative. And when everyone else leaves I'm sure Russia wouldn't waltz right in and finish the job.
What does that even mean? Tell me, tangibly, what we would return, to whom, and how?

"Holy erasure, Batman!"
Acceptable Corrections & additional FACTS, that people cannot accept, even those that accept almost all other facts.
1st. To respect many of those countries & their people inside those countries, it is The USA or U.nited S.tates of A.merica, not America, which includes all of N.orth A.merica-S.outh A.merica,
2nd. The Indigenous people were the first-people that are hugely important to The USA's creation story-existence & they are rarely included in these factual claims that without immigrants USA would not be created the way it was-severely harmed-different existence.
3rd. Since more people in any country-areas of the countries the worse The Living Earth & All Living Beings become. From 'Global Warming to 'Overdensity', all the causes of internal & external Immigrant-immigrant also dangerously hurt the countries-world.
&
4th. Mixed with facts & just my beliefs, though sure seriously respectable science based others agree- Saying, as a country (& I assume other countries- rely on USA's immigrants labor), The USA would die without immigrants I believe is a overstatement, sure in The USA (& lesser so in The World) there would be a lot of pain, requiring sudden & huge change in terrible jobs (except, I believe & hope, the sudden betterment of the benefits for the jobs for the comfortable USAns <maybe, other countries' people> that suddenly have to work & robots for only the worse jobs; I hate them). By the way affect on The USA (other countries) people is not a positive thing, unless those are non-working-wealthy people & some jobs, like meat processing & ranching-other Beings farming should just disappear/VEGANISM.
Wow.
That's why we elected President trump to see if we'll actually die. Turns out immigrants are dying and other countries are becoming poor and US is finally going to be rich with citizens dont have to pay any tax coz weak and stupid countries will pay our tax.
Thank you Mr. President Trump
