"Their country" seems to imply that it doesn't belong to people who immigrate legally. They're the majority of immigrants despite what people spreading hateful rhetoric try to tell you. https://www.pewhispanic.org/2019/06/03/facts-on-u-s-immigrants/ https://www.pewhispanic.org/2019/06/03/facts-on-u-s-immigran... It belongs to them just as much as it does to people whose ancestors planted flags a handful of centuries ago.

> "Their country" seems to imply... How else should the country they were born in, and are citizens of, be referred to? Without making it US specific, as my point is not limited to the US.

  The comment you replied to specified the US. Framing immigration as an invasion is nonsense no matter what country you're talking about.

    The comment did, but I am not in the US, nor is youtube limited to the US, so I don't see why the discussion should concern only the US. And please don't put words in my mouth - I did not 'frame' immigration as an invasion, or as anything else - my statement was as dry as possible. If you can offer a more neutral phrasing that captures the same meaning, I'd be grateful.
