There were no immigration laws back then. Not our fault there wasn't. And I'm sick of hearing this BS from liberals "ask the natives how they felt about illegal immigration" when no organized nation existed back then!

Words don't mean anything. Documents do. Each tribe settled in their own areas. None had claims on this entire country.

I posted on a different thread about this.

Many Indian tribes did very bad things BEFORE Columbus. Genocide Wiped Out Native American Population : Discovery News

So please DONT cuss out just the white man. They were no worse than what my mothers people, the Aztecs, did to others. And Im part Spanish.

Outright bull. It's just the way some people justify theft.

The point is that there were laws here before the Europeans. It's pompous, ignorant, and erroneous to believe there were no laws before the Europeans.

I AM Indian, so I have no reason to romanticize history. I live it. Romanticizing the Native American is not an NDN thing.

I definitely don't hate Whites. If I did then I'd have to hate 1/2 of myself. I do like truth in history and will call someone out when they twist it for their own benefit.

My dad and his siblings ( minus one of my aunts ) didn't want the same future for themselves.

So they immigrated LEGALLY to the US and Canada.

Now please enlighten me on why those who choose to come here illegally are being defended so fervently?

Are you trying to say they are better than my family who chose to abide by the law?!

The above highlighted is a question to ask every Congress critter who voted in favor of the DREAM Act. I'd say you deserve an answer from them too.

How about you post some factual proof that shows different?

I'm not pro-illegal immigration, but I am against the demonization of people just seeking a better life. To tackle the problem I believe in a low-key approach: going after the people who employ someone who isn't permitted to work in this country, increased border patrols, checking citizenship/immigration status when a person is arrested, etc. I'm against ideas like having some type of massive Gestapo style crackdown. That's not what America is about imo.
