The country is still being built. It will always be in a constant state of flux. History is always being made.
Who are you to say "we're built now. Sorry, you can't take your shot at the American Dream?"
The U.S. is not an impoverished nation so I'm no sure what you're "immigrate to Canada" argument is about. Do a lot of poor Americans try to immigrate to Canada to work and better their lives and get refused? Is this a phenomenon I'm not aware of?
