You do realize the "Native Americans" are neither native to North America nor are they of such pure bloodline as to say just where they may fit in the mix with the latter residents you refer to as illegal.
Right here in Missouri they are working archaeology sites that predate the modern Indian tribes by thousands of years. So, what is true across the planet is true here to. NO ONE who currently lives in a spot on Earth is truly native to that spot ..with the possible (and probably not even there) exception of some African areas that date back the furthest.
I love the 'you're all illegal' threads tho..because it really does include the Indian Nations as well as the White Man who displaced them in turn.

There is this reasoning in the USA that illegal immigrants have no business being allowed to exist; that anyone who entered this country under the false pretenses should be deported and have all rights removed from them.
I have news for you, 65% of you are illegal. This land was stolen from the indigenous tribes of Indians from European settlers; by fruits of the "poisonous tree" any and all ancestry connected to the population that currently resides here are thereby "illegal aliens".
The only people that are in this country legally are the Indians and their ancestors family tree; black people were forced to be here (they are excluded), any immigrants that went through due process under the guidelines of a corrupt nation are still illegal, sorry to my Latin/Hispanic American brothers and sisters.
The good news for Latin/Hispanic ancestry is that you are closer to Indian ancestry and likely are indigenous within your family ancestry; more so than the rest of the World with regard to the right to be in the USA.
www.census.gov...
At the present time there are 316,237,200 people in the USA; which means with the Indian population being roughly 1% and allowing for 14% Blacks and 17% for Latin/Hispanic and allowing for 3% Polynesian/Alaskan indigenous people, that there are currently 205,554,180 illegal immigrants in the great USA today.
Better start packing White people, you are all here illegally according to the laws written by illegal immigrants.
I used quickfacts.census.gov... as a source.
Along with en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_American.
I will not bother including the actual numbers from these sites; it is not necessary.
Personally, I believe the whole planet belongs to all and we should have the right to decide where we want to live.
For the record I am white and illegal.

Actually I have never come across any Native American complaining that the "White Man" stole their country and they have a right to forcibly take it back.
I have though, heard that argument from Mexican Americans and Mexican Immigrants, but as I pointed out above the Apache occupied what is now the border areas and defended those lands from the incursion of people entering from the land we now call Mexico, even at times crossing over into their territory and warring with them.

As a Native American who has lived on a Indian reservation my whole life, i just gotta say.... Lets move on a bit... I honestly have nothing against white people, or any other race for that matter. Times have changed. None of us are directly responsible for what happened in the 1800's.(i know atrocities against natives have been commited more recently)
But this is America now. Time to fix the problems at hand. It's not a time for white people to feel self loathing over something they had no control over. It happened. It's still happening in a lesser degree. But there's far more important matters to deal with in this country before worrying about who has the right to be here.
No matter what, i am now a part of this country. I don't care what color my fellow countrymen are now. We are all in the same boat.
From my point of view we are all being exploited by the powers that be. Lets band together for the here and now. Not dwell on past differences.

Hmmmm... No, our forefathers came and took this land from the native peoples. They were settlers, not immigrants.
Immigrants come to established country's and live, settlers build towns, cities, roads, and country's.
There is this reasoning in the USA that illegal immigrants have no business being allowed to exist; that anyone who entered this country under the false pretenses should be deported and have all rights removed from them.
