Can you post up the immigration law that was violated?
I keep asking native Americans to present the law that was broken all those years ago and none of them ever seem to want to.
Curious, that.

Nice rant. I hope you're wearing an asbestos suit because you're going to get flamed.

And native Americans took land from other native Americans "illegally" every time they went to war over....
Wait for it....
RESOURCES.
And don't give me that crap about how native Americans didn't wipe anybody out. Many tribes thought NOTHING of killing the entire "other" tribe in war. That, or making them slaves.
Don't try and put native Americans up on some ivory tower and claim they all got along great and held hands and made love not war. They were going to war with each other long before any Europeans showed up. Difference is, Europeans made war with guns, not clubs.
Is what happened in the pursuit of manifest destiny a tragedy? Yea, it is. No argument here. But to sit there and try and pretend that the natives were "legally" holding land is absurd. "That mountain and river belong to us" said the native. "Nope" said the European. "Well we say it does" says the native. "I say it belongs to me" says the European. That's not how "illegal immigration" works.

The OP is about how the whitemen cry over illegal immigrants being in their great country and they are hypocrites.

How are we hypocrites when we have had laws for as long as we have been alive? My ancestors came here legally except for the ones who were already here. You can carry around the guilt of your dead ancestors all you want, just leave the rest of us out of it.

Your people? And you are? I do not write this for stars and flags, so how dare you trivialize what I wrote. It was heart felt and had a purpose, to point out those that cry about illegal immigrants are hypocrites. You may go elsewhere, I didn't force you to be here and this is my OP!
You don't find it the least bit hypocritical to cry about illegal immigrants when this land was stolen from the indigenous people? You don't think white people have any culpability in the way this country came to be? I think it is very hypocritical. Why shouldn't we embrace all people and allow anyone that wants to be here the same opportunity that was afforded us, by illegal means.
