      This kinda a piss poor take. Your (and mine 🇨🇦) country is entirely based on some people just showing up and deciding to stay (putting it lightly) and for the longest time people just showed up on boats. I don't think you quite understand the immigration process and think
      It's as simple applying and waiting a bit. For alot of people the answer is simply "no". Not saying you shouldn't have border security, but get off your moral high horse for winning the lottery

      I think cursing is the most American thing ever. I’m pretty sure when the best men and women our country has are laying down their lives in service to America? Yeah…I’m pretty sure they go out cursing. So, if Neil Diamond or anybody else wants to get up there and shake their butt and curse into the mic? That’s ok. Of course, that’s just my opinion…I could be wrong…

    I feel my grandparents struggle immigrating from Czechoslovakia to escape Nazi Germany. They knew hardly a thing about this country. They spoke no English. They had less than $100. They had no relatives here. They had no friends here. My grandparents, along with millions of others with and before them came to America because they wanted to feel the warmth of freedom’s light. America’s promise of freedom, opportunity. was so great they accepted the extreme challenge of starting a new life. And out of their amazing success came a deep appreciation and love of this beautiful land of liberty that still remains two generations later. Many countries have amazing, wonderful people but only one county breathes liberty. America.

      Guess you’ve never been to Australia, New Zealand or any similar democratic country. Don’t get me wrong with all its faults I love America it’s a beautiful country with some amazing people but it’s this sort of narrow minded, egotistical, ignorant outlook, that annoys people when the harsh reality is sadly very far from the myth.
      Liberty, guess that doesn’t apply to women’s right to choose and control their own bodies or a school kids right not to live in constant fear of whether or not they’re going to make it home alive from school each day or whether people’s votes are respected regardless of their skin colour, race and or religion, or the appalling and ever widening wealth disparity in such a rich country and the ridiculous indentured servitude, minimum wage or the predatory capitalism run amok etc🙄🤔🤮🤮🤮

    I consider this one of America's top favorite patriotic tunes !!!. It glorifies , motivates, and celebrates the image and heritage of America and the belief in its values prized by everyone
    dreaming to become an American. This is truly a great performance !! Thank you..

      The song speaks about people huddling together, meaning when trying to cross deserts and rivers these people are huddled together by their guides who are called coyotes. They help them get through and sometimes left to die in deserts and drown in rivers, sometimes even rapped by their own guides. These people who come to America look at a dream, far from their beliefs far from their homes, far from families. They travel light ,no luggage, they need to move fast, Hardley any food, that means you have to be strong to go without food, just water for a couple of days, this song is about those who come to America, the song is trying to break barriers of predjudicy, of bigotry, it talking about the dream these immigrants have in coming to America to be free from poverty, hunger, injustice, and having no human rights to be able to express themselves. Coming to America... Who? Immigrants! Who are looking for the se dream you and me have and it only basic, a job, a car, a home.
      Sorry but true, the people are too busy looking at immigrants coming to America rather than looking at our political leaders squander tax payers money, make laws that go against humanity and human rights.
      Instead of looking at how they just tell you what to do and people do it ! We should be looking at what's ahead, In Front of our faces like , what's up with this vaccine, what's up with color? or the shape of their eyes?
      Even Washington said; of other people want to come to America , then America is open to those who want to come and they must become citizens and abide by the laws of this country. The must honor the American flag.

      His grandmother came to America from Kiev or Kyiv. That's in Ukraine. Russia has been invading Ukraine and claiming it [called stealing] for over 1,000 years. Just like the Ancient Greeks and Romans stole his and my ancestors' land in Eretz Yisrael 4000 years ago. It's still our homeland! The Greco-Roman conquests or stealing of land that belongs to others does not make it any less our land. The original Hebrew word Israeli translated to indigenous. When Jews failed in their quest to overthrow Roman rule in the 2nd century [120 to `130 C.E.] the Ancient Romans had their soldiers go all around the empire and replace any and all references to Jews, Hebrews, and Israelites with Falstin. It's Latin and the modern translation is Philestine or Palestinian, It means foreigner. They tried to rewrite history casting Jews as strangers in our own land. During the 1200s, the Ottoman Empire built the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount where the remains of the Ancient Jewish Temples were. They did it to prevent a 3rd Jewish Temple and to bribe Arabs into repelling the invading Christian Crusaders. In World War II, the Palestinian Brigades fought alongside the British and the Canadians against the invading Nazis, Italian Fascists, and the Stalinists. 100% of them were Jewish. Not one single Arab. The Arabs of the Middle East either hoped the Nazis and Fascists would leave them alone, or they outright collaborated with them. It's why the Grand Mufti [a Muslim holy title like Ayatollah]of Jerusalem was convicted of War Crimes, Crimes Against Peace, and Crimes Against Humanity at Nuremberg! The Arab League told Arabs in Eretz Yisrael to leave their homes and come fight with the 600,000+ strong Army of the Arab League. Their reward once the Jews were defeated [dead] would be to once again steal our homes and land. That Arab League Army of over 600,000 lost to a rag-tag band of Jews under 37,000. The Arab League has lost all conflicts since then, and elected Hamas as its leadership in 2006. Then Hamas began using the Palestinian Arabs as human shields. They still haven't even made any attempt to rid themselves of Hamas, who built reinforced tunnels beneath the streets of Gaza; continued firing rockets and missiles into Israel, and even blew themselves up at Jewish Hospitals when the Jewish Red Cross [called Mogen David Adom] admitted them to Israel to treat their injuries. They attacked Israel on the holiest day of the Jewish year in 1973 [Yom Kippur]. The equivalent would be attacking the Vatican during Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. Not one Arab nation has ever taken in Palestinian Arabs. However, in 1948, they expelled 1.1 million Jews from Arab Middle East Nations, some had lived there for 2000 years. The UN Refugee Agency has a great record resettling refugees, who often become citizens in their new countries. The UN Palestinian Refugee Agency is almost 80 years old, and has never even resettled or taken in a single refugee or other Palestinian Arab. Until 1967, Palestinian referred to Jews and Arabs. Before 1945, the Jews, Neil Diamond's people and mine, were the Palestinians because Palestinian is from the Latin word for foreigner. . .

    I have loved this song since it first came out. My Grandfather was American and his son married my Mom who immigrated from Europe in the 1920's as a little girl to Canada. Part of her extended family went to America. It reminds me of their journey. I am 70 years old now and look at what is happening in Canada and in America and I doubt they would have been let in today. So very sad. The economic and technology progress was partially because if immigrants that produced children who would contribute immensely.
