The reason it is said that immigrants built the US, is because it is true. Although the Native Americans contributed greatly in many aspects of US society (mostly with their lives and culture), they are the only authentic non immigrants in the US. Every other US citizen born has within their geneology immigrant relatives. The Irish, Germans, English, Chinese, Africans are the ones who built the roads, railroads, bridges, businesses, governments, and so on.
