I'm a little embarrassed it didn't occur to me earlier that they see their genocidal ancestors as immigrants and therefor think that's what immigration is.

Well that's partially it, but also they are likely descendants of circa 1900s immigrants and they just have a fuck you I got mine attitude combined with an anachronistic view that those immigrants are fine (because they view them as white, but they'd be anti-German or anti-Irish if they grew up then, so.)
