Sounds great to me.

It's mostly because (in the current political climate) "immigrant" has a negative connotation. How can you blame some First Nations people for being upset? The comment is being excused by people saying "we're all immigrants, it's ok!" when some of the same people dishing out that excuse experience an extreme tone change when dealing with actual immigration issues.
