- President Obama reminds the American people that all citizens of the U.S. are descended from immigrants.
Watch the full speech here:
• President Obama Speaks...
"Immigration's always been an issue that inflames passions. That's not surprising. There are a few things that are more important to us as a society than who gets to come here and call our country home. Who gets the privilege of becoming a citizen of the United States of America. That's a big deal. When we talk about that in the abstract, it is easy sometimes for the discussion to take on a feeling of us versus them. And when that happens, a lot of folks forget that most of us used to be them. We forget that. And it's really important for us to remember history. Unless you're one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from some place else, somebody brought you. The Irish who left behind a land of famine; the Germans who fled persecution; the Scandinavians who arrived eager to pioneer out west; the Polish, the Russians, the Italians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the West Indians -- the huddled masses who came through Ellis Island on one coast and Angel Island on the other. All those folks before they were us, they were them. And when each new wave of immigrants arrived, they faced resistance from those who were already here. They faced hardship. They faced racism. They faced ridicule. But over time, they went about their daily lives. They earned a living as they raised a family, as they built a community, as their kids went to school here. They did their part to build the nation. They were the Einsteins and the Carnegies, but they were also the millions of women and men whose names history may not remember, but whose actions helped make us who we are, who built this country hand by hand, brick by brick. They all came here knowing that what makes somebody an American is not just blood or birth, but allegiance to our founding principles and the faith in the idea that anyone from anywhere can write the next great chapter of our story,and that's still true today."

!['Indian' or 'Native American'? [Reservations, Part 0]](/img/1.gif)
That moment when Americans don't want immigrants but they don't realise they are the immigrants
Joe Biden is giving 11 million illegal immigrants visas
@Bro Momento i don’t think you’ve heard the opinions of many Americans .. regardless of legitimacy of one’s immigration, Americans in general don’t like immigrants. It’s interesting cause when the Europeans came it wasn’t by some legitimate means that they ended up in the US, and they most certainly did not ask the permission of the natives b4 killing all of the Native Americans of the North
have ypu ever heard of sovereignty?
99% of Americans are born in the US thus they are not immigrants.
@@Matt-hs7gs it's only from White
Any Native Americans reading this..., just want you to know..., the whole world out here know your the real Americans... including me :)
@Pizzaman15611 Of course, you probably an european, an african or an asiatic descendant. Maybe if you are a latino, it's possibly to consider you a type of mixed natives.
@Pizzaman15611 American citizen, by nationality but not ethnicity
@Pizzaman15611 well lets see it how our current administration POV, being born in this country probably isn't enough to consider you an American (they want to end birthright citizenship)
Thank you.
EccentricWorld thanks 💯🙏🏾
I love you Native American guys. Please keep your culture alive.
@@grasstoucher8503how tf is it our fault. our ancestors made the move. we just here
@@cheddah48 Yeah but then you keep buying land here and having babies who go off and do the same. It's not your fault that you were born here but at some point it's your fault for staying.
You people ask us to keep our culture alive as if we haven't been fighting to do that for centuries. As if you aren't the ones who tried to destroy it. As if you aren't the ones slowly suffocating it to death because you refuse to relinquish what you wrongfully inherited.
If you truly care about preserving Indian cultures, then go back to Europe and never return. Maybe even take some others with you; I heard you people are skilled at involuntary Trans-Atlantic voyages.

Sad to see that so many native americans seem so joyful and happy because of such a small comment. Crazy! Just so you know folks, all over the wolrd people love you and your culture. I am from germany and I know not a single person that does not respect native americans. You are the stuff of legends man dont forget that. You guys always respected nature and I respect that a ton. Wish I could go hunting with you folks one day. Cheers..
Stop reading bs in books about American indigenous- you are completely lost.
Worry about the people in Germany being tossed out of their homes because your corrupt female based government is ripping the land apart for cheap, dirty coal
Nice example of a country with zero respect for nature
Racism is okay as long as you say nice things
Thank you. Native of the Sonoran Desert here, Yaqui and O’odham Tribes. Your words are meaningful. ❤
@@militantlymarginal im happy you feel that way. Just know that my words arent an empty phrase and truly come from my heart.
We all grow up with books like winnetou, (even tho the Story is not real , as a kid you think its a real story ) so from a very young age we dream about the adventures of your ancestors and really learn to respect the Culture of all the different beautiful tribes of the north american people.

@@MiloSatori what I mean is that Paleoamericans may have moved across the Bering Land Bridge from Asia sometime before 15,000 years ago.
@@nevrynkinori3627 According to a paper published today in the journal Nature, the site, known as Chiquihuite Cave, may contain evidence of human occupation that places people in North America around 30,000 years ago-roughly twice as early as most current estimates for when the first humans arrived on the continent.
@@MiloSatori That makes the old data a bit strange. Could humans be from two places? if not then there is a missing link somewhere.

@@evo8power228I hope Europeans will leave American penisula and go back to their continent to save their continent from immigrants
Respect! Thank you!
They prefer the word Indian over Native American.
@XunyoZero No, they do prefer it. They’ve been using that word for centuries as a way to identify as the native peoples of the land. It’s liberals that are now proclaiming that word as problematic because it was given to them by Europeans. Natives themselves don’t have issue with it and many take offense to the term Native American as it’s use is viewed as white people telling them what words they should use and identify with.
So sad that such an obvious observation was a controversial statement in America

Built a wall to prevent illegal immigration, yet dem states allowed ILLEGAL immigrants in the country, which isn’t fair for all the others who had to wait years to even apply for immigration just to maybe have a chance to live well in America
Didn’t panic when COVID started and first three weeks it was in America, corona task force already transported millions of masks around the states which needed it, set up dozens of test sites
Why is covid still spreading? Oh yeah the mass rioters going around cities burning buildings and killing people without masks, but I’m sure you don’t care about that 🤷♂️ , you blame it all on the president. Tearing down statues of some heroes like Lincoln, killing children, you don’t care about all that.
All you want is a terrible person like communist Biden to rule America, who I’m sure you’ve heard, is very racist.
“Poor kids are as bright as white people”
“If you vote Trump, you ain’t black”
Can you name one candidate more fitting than a person like Trump has already done for the country? Dems are getting rid of our rights, trying to imprison the St Louis couple for defending their home which was trespassed.
Even though I don’t believe it is right yet for schools to open again, many families don’t have technology to do online learning, which is why it isn’t a very bad choice. Dems don’t want schools to reopen but want BLM rioters to party without masks destroying everything 😂
Get off CNN and the MSM and look at what’s actually happening
this quote inspired a speech I wrote and performed for one of my college classes
Because as everyone knows, natives sprouted from the ground like spring grasses. Obviously.
the first settlers of a land are called natives. before natives came to America, there was no one here, so, yeah
@@shitluna50kgonedogegogogo87 The problem I have with that logic is that under it no one can ever be native to a land in which their ancestors were not among the first arrivals. No matter how long their bloodline has lived there in the meantime.
That would make the Spartans not native to Greece. The English not native to Britain. The Romans not native to Italy. The Yayoi not native to Japan. Etc.

Sorry,but just got to make this point.
Native Americans arrived here from Asia when they followed the migration of animals on the land bridge then which they split from the Aztecs/Mayans and other Spanish tribes
ofcourse but that was thousands years ago, in that sense no one's native anywhere we all come from Africa
@@sakshamsood7480 exactly
“Other Spanish tribes”
i know this is an old comment and probably wont see it, but that still means that they were the first human settlers in north america right? by rights they are still the first ones in america thereby making the country, in essence, theirs and everyone coming after the immigrants or pilgrims or whatever.

That is true but the birth of corruption was the birth of USA all about greed and the birth of the rich as poor people struggled even today that has not changed.
As our ancestors said the land does not belong to us We belong to the land.
Unfortunately the birth of the US was about taking the land and claiming the land is theirs. For profit and greed. Not to help their people. The reality there is no freedom and liberty, justice for all.
@warpony5654 here's some advice, stop voting for democrats. They claim they support "minorities" and so far nothing has changed since they've been in charge. That's because they want non whites and whites divided. They hate you and want you to suffer. I'm not saying Republicans are better, but look at the party in charge. They hate every day people

Also that if we were to ask the natives if they wanted their land back and who they’d prefer to stay, I’m sure it wouldn’t be Europeans asked to stay lol
it's a pity he didn't speak the full truth.

@@bubblegumfacebabe Hes saying the entire nation was built upon people immigrating from elsewhere and hes correct seeing as no one besides native Americans weren't immigrants. This is why immigration is good.
And Native Americans crossed from Asia via Bering. We are all in constant movement. :)

Man I feel the native Americans pain imagine people from all race just comes to your country and you aren't even know by most of the people 😔
We are still standing, we will be here for many generations to come.
man some people are haters because they know they can never be a real American like us native Americans lol I love it
Audrey Garcia me too honey
***** Warring among humans is an incredibly common thing, the very fact you are baffled about the subject proves to me, your are ignorant. Because we fought among ourselves (much like humanity does)
apparently in your mind, makes it okay to steal our identity and heritage, at the expense of an entire race numbered 20+ million. Or at least you are implying we deserved it. If we looked at the track record of the "other" continent, its filled with plenty of hate, warmongering and outright killing, but it brought a lot of good too. Renaissance Era for example. Much like the whites (just names for references, dont get offended), The Native Americans supported Matriarchy, which was never seen at the time of white colonialism. (They treated their women like they were under sharia law).
Nah not really, our history dates back 15 thousand years.
A President who reads books. Weird, huh?.
Trump wrote a book
@@novamike7121 Art of the Deal? Tony Schwartz wrote it. Trump's name was on the front. There's no evidence Trump even read it.
(To be fair, very few politicians write books without extensive editorial help, and this includes Obama. But according to Schwartz, Trump's involvement and interest in the writing process was pretty much non-existent. He no more physically wrote the book than he physically built Trump Tower.)
Wait what? Books? Are suppose to be read It?
Proof that Trump doesn't read?

@Sean Rommel yea at least our current president isnt so trigger happy with drone strikes
@Sean Rommel you voted trump to see americans die ?
@Sean Rommel 200K deaths is probably an underestimation to be honest. It's still a really deadly virus that's killed more than Korea, Vietnam, WW1 and the War on Terror combined.
@@defox5019 94% of those deaths are from comorbidities.
Natives americans were here first and for that, they are native americans. Point.
+Melanie Marcos There are no native Americans except for those who were born here.
***** thank you
+Dragon XD Same with the Indians who immigrated here from Asia at one point in history. You also don't know my heritage so screw you.
+Melanie Marcos Yes, your name sounds pretty European as well. So how does what happened hundreds of years ago excuse illegal immigration today?
+Melanie Marcos. Being born in America, I too am a native American. I take great pride in saying that. From whom did the Indians take the land? Try having a thought beyond your liberal indoctrination.
Yes
What about those who came through the middle passage?
Native Americans - you’re my brothers and sisters and I stand with you all.
I wonder what native's definition of American democracy is.
Freedom of speech, kindness towards one another and Respect for other cultures in this world.

My name is Night Little Bear, I am Ojibwe, from Canada. And I just want everyone to know who is reading this, to know that I am thankful for you all to see that my other fellow natives in America are the original people of that land. You don't know how happy it makes me to finally see that my people are being recognized all over the world! I am truly grateful for everyone who has watched this, liked this, and saw that the land was and is theirs :)
I hope you all have a good day, thank you again. 🤗
There is no such thing as a "native American". It is a political name given to appease this group of Asians.
Hi bro love from india🇮🇳
Hi from Scotland 🏴
hi from italy
Hi! from Malaysia. 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Even the native americans came from somewhere else.
A great message and it applies all over the world, everyone’s family is from somewhere.
Wow! An actual president speaking coherently, praising the people - not just himself...
Seriously.miss having a president that isn't the laughing stock of the rest of the world.
@Whitest Cracka he isnt, I dont know if it was intentional or not but he divided this country almost completely which is unfortunate because I would have preferred the first black president to be good.
@@thebluelobsterking8695 Trump divided more so than Obama ever did
Lovely isn't it?
@@josephdickson6572 Many abroad love Trump too. In Japan, in Brazil, in Peru. And I dont care who he praises. It’s policies not personality
I wish Barack Obama was back in office

To shut up jackasses like you
tell that to all the civilians he killed in the middle east
@@Centre14
Also tell that to the thousands Trump killed in Afganistan.
Toby.
by your logic
obama = trump
Trump nor Obama should be back in office. They were both terrible
The thing is, "native Americans" also came from somewhere else, namely Asia.
Technically, anyone with an American nationality who was either born or grew up in the Americas is a native American...
No…..
It’s a nightmare with socio economic term and conditions on citizenships , how long have you been following this page ??
AMEN!
Love him or hate him, he’s speaking facts
Abner Braun ur not wrong but it’s like saying we all came from Africa which is true. But The Native Americans were the very first ones to settle in the Americas
Abner Braun yeah, imagine being a minority in ur own land. Sad
Actually hes not "native americans" arent from america
Peen Head ik but they were the first ones to settle in the Americas. It’s like saying we all started in Africa which is true but we later migrated to other places
@@Danny883YT yeah so he isnt speaking facts
As a Native American it's nice to see people are actually seeing First Nation's People for who and what they are, I am genuinely thankful for this. I'm ecstatic to be part of a great Nation of people and being related to the Lakota Chief Sitting Bull. Love from North Dakota to you all
Your people are the owner of the land. Not white, not black and neither am I. But I hope in the future we all could live happily together in America without supremacy.
@@masdodoguy1196 Yep
And love from all of us, back to you. All the way from The Netherlands
What do you think about America right now? I mean.....do you wish things were different, I have always wondered what the present day Native Americans think about the country they live in. I dont know how to properly put this question but I hope you understand what I am saying.
Do u want a bow ?
That’s why immigration is a crucial player in the growth of a country and the world. Over millennia.

Being Native, this is Hands down one of my favorite speeches from Obama and any President ever. It speaks to EVERY person in the states. He truly understand history and how we got here today.
Same
Well... hate to poop in your fruit loops, but you do realize Native Americans came from Asia right?
@@fargopcguy with our current understanding of history. Yes that could be the case. However the central dogma is that theory. There is good evidence and knowledge that backs that up too. However if you go deeper there are artifacts and signs of human activity well before the land bridge theory. For instance my tribe has a creation story where we came out of the ground at a sacred site known as Nanih Waiya (Mother Mound in Choctaw) in Mississippi. Take it as you will but I believe and many others too that we were actually from this land to begin with. I forget the term but in science it’s when two different species evolve exactly the same even though they have had no contact with each other. That could be the case why we are so similar 🤷♂️ We could have come from Asia, or we could’ve come from some other form of travel maybe by boat. Seems preposterous but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone tried and succeeded
@Brandon Stockwell and then Europeans came along and took it from them, just as they had been doing to other tribes for centuries. Whats your point?
Them americanos be divided on race so much
"All of us one time we were them". DAMMIT I miss having a president like this. Instead now we have a president who's a childish bully with followers who believe they're the only ones who matter.
tihzho that statement is wrong.
The majority of Mexicans arriving are illegals, Mexicans are not suffering from a war, or persecution, in fact over 50% of Mexicans are either overweight or obese (so don't know why Obama is comparing the Irish famine where over 1.5 million Irish died from starvation which mean almost 20% of the entire Irish population died while Mexicans are stuffing their face with toccos and has become one the fattest countries in the world.
The USA has its own laws and immigration policies. There are steps in which people can take to become a us citizen. Go through the paperwork and necessary procedures to become a US citizen. The USA has already got 40 million Mexican in the USA (that 1/3 of the entire Mexican population)
Trump followers probably do believe American citizen come first, just like every nation does.
For Mexico, Mexicans citizen come first
For Japan, Japanese citizen come first
If you truly care about the Mexicans they why don't you house them and all their kids (who they use to get a free pass to the US)
Arberor Over 40% of the Mexican population lives in poverty and Mexico has been at war (officially) since 2006.
As a full blooded Navajo I wish that there is a superior Native that will change federal laws that will benefit the Native Americans of North America.
THANK YOU!! I miss him.
Imagine how different the world would be if Europeans had not colonised the US.
I know... I think literally everything would be different
You'd be walking, instead of driving, killing/growing your own food, no electricity, chopping wood for cooking/heat...oh, and don't forget you might've been sacrificed to the gods had you been Central/South American.
@@useyourbrain3765 it would liket be the same today depending on how trade and governance would happen. But there would be buildings akin to native American design

@@babushka5279 So, no advancement of society since, say, the 1500's? Enjoy that, you.
Let's not get angry or too offended here. But Obama is correct, and i'm so glad he tackled this subject. My family is of Native American decent, and i've witnessed many of the hardships we have gone through because of the loss of our culture. I was eating dinner with a friend who is from Vietnam. She said "You look like those guys who wear the feathers!" I said.. "You mean Native American?" And she didn't quite understand. Then i asked what she thinks of when she hears "American". She went on to describe a white guy, blonde hair & blue eyes. I told her that's basically a European! They are hear in America now.. but the originals were dark hair and golden tan skin! Broke it down to here and she was completely shocked!! haha. Gotta love history!!
+Mark Lawson Nothing makes me laugh more than scared white Americans. The most paranoid and fearful people on the planet despite little empirical evidence to suggest any possibility of harm coming to you collectively. And the ability to bury your head in the sand and ignore historical FACTS. Astounding, Bravo Sir.
***** Well, it's goes a little deeper than that. Native Americans are of Eurasian decent and come from many areas throughout Europe and Asia. Some have big nose bridges & long Caucasoid faces while some have more of an Asian look. We arrived here just before European & East asian colonization.
+Dem Ise I don't disagree with you. I refuse to celebrate Columbus Day for this reason. He was a racist that took a wrong turn and ended up on the wrong continent, and proceeded to enslave the wrong type of Indian ie. not an East Indian. Not something to celebrate. Important to learn and teach people the history of America, but teach it without leaving the important, often grisly, parts.
You are 1,000% correct and i agree. When i bring it up to people, they do NOT want to hear it. They play dumb and or just don't care to learn world history!
Can you believe there's people out there who still think we live in teepee's or are extinct?
Ok.......Then how the damn hell was I born here? Immaculate transportation!?
Native Americans immigrated from Asia..
But they were the first people to settle here. Homo sapiens common ancestor came from Africa, so if you really wanna get technical we’re all of African descent.
@@owenlewis7928The gauls were the first people we know to settle France, does that mean all of France belongs to the Irish?
