What, you and me? That's not a flaw in the argument at all -
"we" (meaning some people of our generation) seem to merely have
forgotten our roots and that if restrictions on immigration that are
being proposed were in place, *we* might not ever have existed (ie, our
ancestors might never have immigrated to the US, met, etc).
