Multigenerational American citizens literally invented almost all of modern technology.

From the wright brothers to henry ford to bell labs to darpanet to the transistor.

Id challenge you to find any other country with that legacy of ingenuity and smarts and talent.

America put a man on the moon before the Hart-Cellar act even allowed non Europeans to immigrate.

If you have resources and energy, anything is possible if you have a system to exploit them. The downside is of course draining the resources and destroying the ecology which also happened. There is nothing special in American blood vs anywhere else.

Part of Western heritage.

America was built on immigrants from Europe indeed founded it upon it.

Non Europeans weren't allowed to immigrate (en masse) to America until 1970 Hart Cellar act.

Not saying that's right or wrong it's just a fact.

America is cultural and genetic sibling to Europe.
