I think we’ve totally overstayed our welcome!

I think the Native Americans would totally disagree with you. The land first belonged to them, NOT the Indians.
Indians come from India.
Don't believe me? Ask any Native American.

interesting theory... but which countries of origin? many of us have origins so muddied, there are multiple nations (or even continents) to go "back" to.
Also... imagine if all 40+ million Irish-Americans went back to Ireland? Wouldn't the current Irish suddenly be the new "indians," overcome by foreign invaders? Not to mention many, many other nations.
For better or worse, this is our country of origin now.

Who did the Native Americans take the land from? Someone must have been here before them.Didn't they just swarm in and overrun the indigenous people?

The USA is my contry of origin. I was born and raised here. That makes me a native American.
But you're welcome to leave if you wish.
Love the country you live in or live in the country you love.

When we go back to our land of origin, will we kick out the people who immigrated there too?

Where would that put me?
I am Irish, English, Scottish, Ojibwe, French, and German. And those are just the ones I know of! My great-grandpa was a carni and no one knows where he was from.

by the way, they don't really appreciate columbus day. my native american friend burns an american flag every columbus day. a little extreme, i know, but i have to agree. so...my family doesn't celebrate it anymore.
