Hello everyone, welcome to another installment of All American Carl's All American Logical. This question relates to the asnine arguement some people bring up about immigration that "white people in USA are immigrants, the only true Americans are the indians!". The problem with this theory, is that logic and cold hard evidence proves it wrong, yet people still attempt to use it. get up to date people, the "indians" IMMIGRATED to USA across the Beringia landbridge or ""Bering Land Bridge". If you want to get technical, pretty much everyone got the place they are because of immigration, but it's the ones who settle, conquer, and create a thriving nation without faultering who take claim to the land. This nation as we know it was born an american nation, a new founded nation, we fought the indian immigrants for this land, and WON, then we fought our overseas oppressors and WON. simple as that, our country, you lose too bad so sad..Why do people continue to gripe about the indians and etc?

Good point, I'm pro Amnesty and I do believe this land belongs here to America because they either fought for it or purchased it. The people claiming that is theirs is like comparing the Palestinians now days claiming that is their land regardless of how many legitimate wars Israel has fought. However, at some time in history maybe not recorded yes humans did migrated here from Africa. Now about the fact that the Native Indians walked thought the Bering Bridge , I'm not to convinced on that theory. These continents were connected differently hundreds of years ago. Anyways, this land in the Americas was not taken by anybody so therefore Native people now called Indians claim their land. So yes it was them who were here first and therefore making it their land for thousands of years. This whole immigration issue is a whole mess but we all have to agree that yes this land belongs to whomever purchased it of fought for it just like any other land in the world.

There is still a lot of controversy over the Bering Stait issue. The Native Americans have been here continually longer than any other people. There was no signs of any civilizations where it (the skull) was found, no ancient burial grounds, no evidence of any populations to speak of. The Native Americans have been here for 13,000 to 30,000 years, continuously.
The Native Americans, my people, were here before Europeans. Yes, my people were 'beat' by the Europeans of this land. Native Americans did not believe in land ownership. No one person 'owned' the land. It belonged to everyone. Europeans came and made war with my people, made and broke treaties. Pushed them out of their homelands, onto reservations in land that was harsh and very difficult to live on. That being said, it is not the Native Americans who are continually bringing up the issue of who was here first. It is the pro-illegals and their supporters.
They can not convince us, AMERICANS, that people who come into this country against todays USA laws have the right to stay here and demand rights they don't have. When they feel they have lost the arguement, they resort to trying to conquor us by dividing us on an issue that is past, history, done, finished. They will dredge up anything to try and prove their assinine belief that they 'own' part of the USA, that 'they' are 'Americans' by having been from the "Americas". None of that makes them a legal citizen of the USA, today, now, the 21st century, 2006.
They are illegal invaders to the USA, coming into this country unscreened, harboring dangerous, incurable diseases. They bring in drugs, pedophiles, rapists, murderers, thieves and that same border is a pathway for terrorists. American citizens are made up of people from many countries and Native Americans from all corners of this land. We are all AMERICANS and WE are the ones our constitution is suppose to protect. WE are the ones that reap the rights of that same constitution. ALL AMERICANS, not illegal immigrants!

First of all, I agree with your sentiment; no civilization or species of human evolved in what is present-day North America; rather the cradle of civilization is in the middle east and all of our ancestors, European and Native American, migrated to North America over the Bering Land Bridge as you mentioned (there are alternative theories and arguments against this theory however and it is not an unconditional fact).
Second of all though, I've never heard ANYONE ever say "white people in USA are immigrants, the only true Americans are the indians!" I've never heard this argument. Who says that? I mean, I have heard that the only "true Americans" are the Indians, however I've never heard it during an immigration argument.

You are very correct , the Indians crossed over from Russia and the Shoshone, Cherokee, black foot and Cheyenne were chased out of Canada by the Sue. They may have settled a great deal of the American lands but they did migrate . I watched a show on A& E where some boys found a skull in the a flooded river bank in washington , It was first treated as a crime scene , but carbon date showed it to be over five thousend years old . And when he we given a face by forensics...............He was caucasion , the Washington tribes claimed him as an ancestor ..........doesnt it make you wonder ?????

Simple, Carl, america has money and as-yet unpopulated land, and they'd like some, please, and if forwarding specious arguments seems like an effective sympathy-getter, they'll cry that story all day long. There's 50 states, there's 2 that kind of hang out there by themselves, and the 48 continguous states in the north american continent have this 'border' thing that you can see on the map, there. It's kind of like Sesame Street, 'inside' and 'outside', kind of like 'innies' and 'outies'. Approximately the same relationship exists today, with the outsiders trying any tactic they can think of to become insiders, other countries trying to make america their '*****' etc,try to live off of her, etc etc. What we need figuratively speaking, is an overprotective father figure with a double barreled shotgun loaded with rock salt that's insanely jealous of his 'daughter's virtue. This whole 'renting her out like a 10-dollar whore' business just isn't going to cut the mustard...but such is the mentality of our current horde of businessmen/representatives who don't bat an eye at the idea of watching one or more of our cities fall apart...

Very true. It makes you wonder who the "Indians" conquered and killed to make this land "theirs". The same is true about the Polynesians in Hawaii.
