Say for instance, a Native American who is not a U.S. citizen, and not from a reservation, does something that would make the government want to deport them? This is not just a hypothetical question. Think about it

That is a stupid question. Native Americans are, by DEFINITION... Americans and when you deport someone, you have to deport them to their COUNTRY OF ORIGIN..

Sorry... but you didn't find the loop hole you thought you had found

All Native people born in the US ARE American citizens, so there could be no deporting.

Now if you are talking about a Canadian born Native, the US cannot deport them. It's in the Jay Treaty. All Canadian born Natives can be in the US, have the right to work without a work permit, do NOT need a green card and canNOT be deported. It has to do with Native territories crossing the imaginary border lines set up by Canada and the United States.

So, even if the U.S. govt wanted to get rid of a Native person, they could NOT deport them.

The FBI wanted to get rid of Leonard Peltier so it made up charges against him and put him in jail. There was no deporting.

I think you are trying to falsely insinuate that every citizen of Mexico is a native American. It's the whole "this was once our land" argument. It's super simplistic and not very relevant.

The "land" is not the reason you want to be here. You want to be here because of the opportunity American citizens created (and then spend indiscriminately on non-citizens). Mexico has plenty of land and less people living in it -- they're not doing anything with it. That's the fault of the government and the people. Instead of fighting to create the conditions in your country that exist here, you leave and send money back . This makes that same government very happy, giving them no incentive to change. Is that what you call pride? Selling out the people of Mexico who remain behind and enriching the corrupt government who made it a toilet there?

Let's assume that all of the southwestern United States was retaken for the country of Mexico (or Aztlan perhaps?). Now all you have is more land for that toilet of a country. The opportunity goes away. That's parasitic behavior. You leave the host dead.

Of course, perhaps Guatemalens believe they're the true native Americans. That doesn't keep Mexico from militarizing their border does it you hypocrite! The Guatemalens are just in your country to do the work that Mexicans won't do right?

All Native Americans are US citizens by birth. They cannot be deported, both for that reason and because deportation requires that the US government send the person back to the place they last arrived from (usually not their country of origin, as someone else said). Deporting someone to Idaho wouldn't really work very well.

Native Americans ARE citizens of the U.S. and have been since around 1921. Impossible to deport them anywhere.

They crossed the frozen land bridge of the Bering at as quickly as from Asia to what's now commonly used as North united statesa.. i assume in case you relatively desire to deport them you will might desire to tension them off the land, do you think of you're as much because it? Assuming you have been in a position to tension each and one and all of those human beings off the land, might you besides might bulldoze each and all of the infrastructure that has been created, smash all homes created from something different than timber, branches, timber and airborne dirt and dust? might you accomplish that with the equipment of your human beings or might you utilize weapons? This replaced into your land, it is not anymore. settle for it and pass on because of the fact on the top of the day, your existence is so plenty extra powerful now than it may well be in case you have been nonetheless working around interior the woods/on the plains/interior the snow with out horses, electricity, drugs, metallurgy, etc. etc.

Back to Asia since that is where the American Indians came from before they wiped out the people that actually were native to America.

Native American reservations. They're considered sovereign lands.

*laughs*

It is impossible for a native to not have U.S. citizenship. Unless I am banished from my tribe's reservation, the only place I can be exiled (not deported because this land is MY land) to is prison.
