NONE of those were immigrants. Not one.
Maybe my math is off but where I come from "none" means "zero".

This is the point you should've taken:
"I see as you do, and with the deepest affliction, the rapid strides which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States."
"When all government, domestic and foreign, in little things as well as great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will...become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we declared our independence."
THOMAS JEFFERSON
