Native Americans didn't form the land of the free. I'm sure alot of you would really want to go back to the way they ran things? They would have your scalp in a heartbeat!

This Native American is not an "anti" How can someone say we are all ANTI because it is not true, some are and some are not. The thing about scalping is just dumb. The white settlers taught the Natives to scalp. Like someone said, the white's paraded the Natives body parts as a trophy. My family got the skull of my great great grandfather returned about a year and a half ago from the Smithsonian so we could do a proper burial so don't tell me about scalping because I saw first hand what was done to my great great grandfather while he was trying to help other of my tribe to survive the Big Hole massacre of 1877.

Because they can't address facts.
1. There was more than one migration over the Bering Land Bridge meaning there were people here living before the "current" Native Americans arrived. So who did the current Native Americans take the land from ?
2. There was no centralized government with defined responsibilities such as controlling immigration when Europeans came over here ERGO Europeans were not illegal immigrants
3. The Native American / Illegal Immigrant issue is an Apples to Oranges comparison and no one with an IQ over 98 take it's seriously

Try being a mountain man, while hanging on to your scalp! The pictures that are drawn about life in the old west is pure nonsense. Its always so romantic to rewrite history and construe fantasies on how people lived!

Native Americans "didn't form the land of the free" because it was taken from them, smart guy.
Are you trying to ignore the fact most of us US citizens descend from immigrants?

They like to shape the argument in their favor. Unfortunately they neglect the facts.
Indians never understood land ownership. Land was not something that a person could own. When the pilgrims offered to buy the land, the indian thought they were taking money from idiots, and the pilgrims would get nothing in return. They basically thought they were screwing the settlers out of their goods. It backfired. We own the land.

Native Americans are anti illegal immigration, especially the reservations on the border. Reservations are the strictest in enforcing immigration laws. They also accuse la raza of trying to steal there culture

People bring up the Native Americans because they believe American can learn from their past experiences. Pushing the native Americans out is just like us pushing immigrants out. Our actions in the past can help us learn from the present

Because they like to claim that we are all immigrants. Notice they do not use the term illegal immigrants. Our ancestors made this country what it is today. And they want to reap the rewards. They can't even control the politics in their own country. Now they think they can come in here and control ours. The people of the United States have had enough. Illegal immigration has just topped the Iraqi war as the biggest issue here.

The reference to "native" people is just utter nonsense, used by people who lack intelligence. What general, irrevocable principles apply to the evolution of mankind, formation of communities and commonwealths?
