The American Indian and Immigration...?

Question

Are you tired of hearing that the only legal citizens are the American Indian? Isn't this just a way to avoid the real issue?

I have indian blood in me and I donot resent what happened, because I understand what happened and it is a dog eat dog world. People seem to think that the only ones that were ever screwed over were the Indian..

What's the deal here?

The white man, black man, green man, red man, whatever, understood it was a dog eat dog world, that only the strong survive. So technically we did not steal this land that we now live on today. There were wars fought for this land and it just so happens that what was the majority, the white man, won those wars..

I know about the Trail of Tears. I am part Cherokee. and even though there are still terrible places to live on reservations, the indians choosing to live in those places are doing just that, choosing to live there by their own free will.............

Answer 1

My grandfather was orphaned with no living relatives as an infant in the Indian Territory, now Oklahoma.

When I first start to tell this story, I get a lot of help from Anglo hating racists who think they know how it went down.

They usually don't like the rest of the story.

Comanche raiders were most likely the ones who murdered his relatives. They were raiding and murdering a lot of the reservation Indians, who refused to join them, at the time this happened.

The fact is, most of the Indians who were ever killed, were killed by other Indians. Genocide and complete assimilation of remnant survivors was a very routine occurrence for them.

They just weren't morbid enough to keep statistics of every confirmed kill. Those are kept by archaeologists now.

Answer 2

The deal here is that the US Government has violated more the 143 treaties with us, that's the deal. We got screwed over more than any other "group" including the African-Americans. President Andrew Jackson signed a national proclamation to commit genocide against the native American - that means to kill all of us, so that the government would be uninhibited in the move westward - and you don't resent that? It wasn't that we were the only ones ever screwed over, it was that we were the first to be screwed over the most. As far as US history goes, the African Americans can wait in a very long line behind us if "who deserves to get something" becomes an issue. There are still 'reservations' in this country that have no water, no heat and no schools among other things - and you think that is okay and you don't resent that? Well you may have the blood, but you are not a Native.

Answer 3

Yes, it's all a ruse, and one that the pro-illegals desparately need to survive. Not even the fact that all the American tribes have reservations and land on American soil already, and that they are not connected in any way with the Mexican tribes, makes any difference to them. They must not let their precious lie fall down into the toilet.

There's even ample evidence to the contrary that the "Native Americans" were the first ones here. It's not conclusive by a long shot, but enough to at least credit the theory that Native Americans weren't here first as a viable competing one.

But the Government doesn't want to lose all its cheap labor by allowing competition, does it?

Answer 4

Unfortunate, the native Americans were heavily maltreated by the earlier governments. It is an undeniable fact that can't be ignored, but the ideology of that time period was imperialism and conquest. It makes it acceptable, but doesn't make it right though.

Answer 5

Just a way to make some silly argument that we are all illegal. If we all were illegal, then I would not be paying my property taxes or filing Federal income taxes this year.. and to heck with my State taxes.. Whatever, lame arguments come from those who know they are wrong in supporting criminal behavior. I tire of these one world order and no border supporters.. really, one nation unto their people...You would be a loon to support an illegal alien, they are not needed and can surly afford the 5 grand to do it legally.

Answer 6

It's just anther version of the race card (but is, actually, itself, a racist attack), and it is complete BS. Just read the 14th Amendment. If you're born here, your rights of citizenship cannot be denied. Period.

The whole 'nation of immigrants' thing is taken too litterally, also. If you're born here, you are not - cannot possibly be in any sense of the word - an 'immigrant.' You are a native.

Answer 7

They were! Native Americans were here first. Living in unison with the earth. It is the white man who thinks they own land and if you have and they want they take. Name other races that an attempt was made on them in the US towards annihilation. the natives were put on reservations- land that others did not want and decided to take anyway.

Answer 8
