I am a Native American...(Mohawk Indian, and Cherokee)...and it seems so funny to me how white people are complaining about how the illegal immigrants are coming here without permission, but which Cheif gave white people the permission to come over here to steal our land, kill our people, and take over? You white people cant get mad because you did it to us! So how does it feel to have people come into your land without permission? What goes around comes around doesn't it? LOL!

First of all, don't listen to the name-calling losers answering this question.
2nd, the people that are complaining are doing it because it's their right, because half of them have just jumped on the band wagon. They see the mob, and run with it, instead of researching and making an educated decision as to WHY they feel the way they do. They think everything should be served to them on a silver platter, simply because they were born here. They feel they are becoming a minority, yet refuse to admit that they did it to somebody first!

I think overall David Cameron is a good prime-minister with good intentions. I agree that we need good relations with the USA. But I also agree that this is an area Cameron needs to work on. He needs to be co-operative without bending over and taking Obama package. I was really disappointed when he said that we were the "junior partner" of world war two when we did as much, if not more than the US. You can take somebody else's advice on certain issues without it being considered a weakness. Being able to compromise for the national interest over political ideals is a strength.

Why does all the immigration talk focuss on "white people this" and " white people that", I find it fascinating how whites are the only ones NOT allowed to be racist. It is a LEGAL issue. If the "natives" had a unified sovereign government, or even a written language for that matter, I'm sure that the SPANISH invaders of North America would have drawn up an official request for occupancy of the land..

We saw what happened to the Indians and we should learn from that history to KNOW what happens when you're country is invaded.
As for it being Karma, nope. The white people did it to my ancestors and now the Mexicans are doing it to me again.
In addition, I'm not sure that the whites expected us (the Native Americans) to support them and their children.

Not all white people stole the land from the Indians. The Indians believed the land didn't belong to anyone, and when the whites started to settle the land that's when some Indians started saying it was theirs. There were bad whites that did bad things, but for the most part the land was traded, so get over it. TODAY we have laws to abide by when becoming a citizen of the U.S. and if the illegal criminals can't abide by it we don't want them here.

And my French ancestors had to flee to Germany because of religious persecution ...what's your point?
But, I do agree, to a point, with your point of view on this. After all, it does seem like we Americans (not just the "white people") are being a bit hypocritical in this thinking in light of our history's actions toward the Native American. HOWEVER, now that we do have a nation, we feel the obligation to save it from invasion.

Whites bought a lot of the land. I am not condoning their actions at all. But what is done is done. This is still your country too. They cost your country 30 to 60 Billion every year. They kill thousands of Americans every year. They do not care about any laws. They drive with no insurance . If they hit you you have to pay for it. They smuggle in drugs when they enter . They have not been vaccinated for diseases we have in the US so TB and other diseases are on the rise here. They depress the job market with cheaper labor that lowers the wages of all Americans. Their government sends them here to make money to support the 10% who own everything in Mexico while the other 90 % are poor. If you don't see anything wrong with this list . Let me know i am sure with a little bit of digging i can come up with 50 more reasons they are bad for your country.

Hmm... I'm "white" and I dont remember stealing any land from you personally. Are you the holder of the mortgage I am paying on? Sorry about those late payments, I am struggling to make ends meet with all these "entitled" do-nothingers I am helping to support.
Dude, you need to stop being such a racist and painting everybody with such a wide brush. I havent stolen anything from anybody, unless you count that pen I found in my pocket just now and that was accidental. I will put it back when I go back to work.
p.s. I am also "Native American". I was born and raised here, as were a few generations of my family. I aint from anywhere else.

Lakhota here and I totally agree with you. I think it's funny, but I don't side with the Mexicans. You know that if this land had no whites on it, your people, especially mine would not tolerate a Mexican invasion either. Tens of millions of Mexicans should not be allowed break the law, invade our land and drain our resources.
We can't live in the past, the white people know and will always be reminded of the atrocities of their ancestors. We should think about the damage that is being done today, and be concerned for our future.

You remember the holiday thanksgiving??? the one where native americans gave thanks for the white people that were there?
At that time they welcomed them.
Yes the white man took over their lands. And yes that is in part why reservations were established , the is a secretary of native american affairs and why there are tribal grant funds that native americas receive.
I am not saying that all those things make up for it. But im saying the picture you are painting isnt the whole picture.
And regardless of all that, we are where we are today.

Karma? Being tribal affiliated have you seen what the T'ohono O'odham tribe is doing to curtail this illegal alien karma you speak of? They are true Americans and are not so happy of this permission you speak of. In fact, they are some of the best border protectors around. You see, the illegal alien trouble is cutting into their funds for health care and it is having a dire effect on their people.
