If I were running for president, my #1 campaign promise and the first thing I'd do upon election would be to shroud the Statue of Liberty, which is currently the greatest symbol of hypocrisy in the world. 99.999% of American citizens' ancestors came here from other countries, which is now regulatory hell, i.e., practically illegal.

May be better than where they came from. But anyway, what anybody thinks is not evidence for what's true.
I don't disagree with your point, but your hyperbole does you no credit. 99.999% implies there about 3000 American Indians in the US. There are closer to 3 million (depending on exactly what you count), or about 1%. The US census has the number at 1.2%.
> the greatest symbol of hypocrisy in the world
Really? The single greatest signal in the whole world? You can't think of anything that better exemplifies hypocrisy?
Your basic point, which I agree with, would carry a lot more weight if you cut down on the rhetoric.
