Is our education system failing this much?

I keep hearing all these arguments for illegal immigration, people saying we're all illegal, saying that we stole land from Native Americans, maybe we should go back to where our ancestors came from, why didn't our ancestors stay in England and fight instead of running here, that we are racist and we don’t like Hispanics because we do not want illegals here, most of which are from Mexico-which would be Hispanic. This is what I learned in school, are they not teaching our kids this anymore? The Pilgrims did try to fight in England, but England at the time was not a FREE country, it was ruled by religion- you could go to jail for not attending Church, so they came here to form a new country, one where people had freedom. We did not forget that, and our country has many laws and programs set up to help people coming from countries that are NOT a FREE country. We did not forget our roots, we still help people. We did fight for our land here, we are not the only country to fight for land-all countries started from somewhere. We know what we did to the Native Americans was bad, and we have done a lot to compensate for it. It may not ever be enough, but at least we do make the effort. Native Americans have their own Government on their Reservation, They do not have to pay taxes on their land, regardless of what is on their land, such as the Casinos. We have made an effort to compensate for it. As far as going back to where our ancestors came from, where should the majority of Americans go back too. Even though if someone asks me what my heritage is, I say American- most will say German, Irish, French, Australian, etc… With all these people with mixed heritages, where would they go back too. They don’t need to go back anywhere, they are American. As far as racist, that is just reaching for something. Illegal immigrants is not a race- you cannot consider us racist against Hispanics when people try to defend Mexican illegal immigrants. Last I checked Hispanic was Hispanic- Puerto Ricans (which are ALL American Citizens) are Hispanic, Cubans who get political asylum are Hispanic. So how does not wanting illegal immigrants in this country make us racist against Hispanic, Latinos, or anything else you want to call it, when we have many citizens, and legal immigrants that are Hispanic. Is our education system really that far gone, or are they only teaching bits and pieces of history, government, and definitions?
