No. The Indians did not get together and decide to 'give' the land to the Europeans - like the US Government is contemplating. Just like the indigenous populations of what is now Mexico did not 'give' their land to the Spaniards (Mexicans). The invaders, among other things, committed Genocide.

What makes me mad is that these illegal aliens , are marching in the streets saying Give Immigrants Full Rights.
But the thing that is ludicrous is that THEY ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS they are illegally crossing are borders.
I have no problem with people who want to come to this country. Just legally cross the border and become an American Citizen
And when they march they shout in spanish not english?
Ludicrous. . . . . .

Most Americans don't like to remember that their nation was founded by slave owners whose sole interest in freedom was to avoid paying English taxes on all those slaves they owned. (even mexicans whose ancestors where indians)Likewise, Americans generally either don't know or don't want to know that they live such fat, comfortable lives because their government insinuates itself into poorer countries all around the world, overthrowing democracies and replacing them with dictatorships propped up by death squads, just so that the poor of those nations can be exploited and the natural resources stolen... and, all of it, just so Americans can have all the cheap, easily disposable crap that they just love to waste their sheer wealth on. The US was built upon slavery and is maintained today by de facto slavery all around the world. Worst of all, despite glaring examples of institutional racism in the US every single day, most white Americans want to pretend that racism no longer exists and will not even begin to deal honestly over the racism that is still there in their government, their society, and in themselves.
Americans, if you want to use the generalisation, don't travel, and when they do travel they don't like to travel outside their confort zone. They grow up in a large country that is not particularly diverse for any given segment of the population. All that contributes to a very insular country and worldview. The only bit that surprises me is how proud of that ignorance and insularity so many of them are.
Probably more so than any other country, Americans tend to be 'Ameri-centric'.
They never leave the country. They think the US is the absolute best place on Earth (without anything to compare it to mind you).
And they really expect everyone to speak English or they consider them a 2nd class citizen.

NOT if enough Americans join forces and march this coming june 14-16 in the march AGAINST illegal immigrants. We are all joining forces to ask that all immigrants follow our constitution and be lega, which also requires that they learn our language and laws. March for America can be found by typing it in your search engine. Everytime I post the link I get written for a violation notice, probebly by illegal immigrants. It is being sponsered by the "let freedom ring" organization. type in "MARCH FOR AMERICA" and you can find it. hope you read this before I'm ousted for being proud to be an American. good luck.

I don't know how "immigrants" as you call it think they will take this country. They can't even "take" their own!!!! What makes you think they can sneak into another and "take" that one.
Immigrants move to a country, assimilate into the culture, and make a new life......
Illegal aliens will NEVER "take" a country.
