The word "steal" wasn't being used in a literal sense.

I really don't think most Americans really care about what happened several hundreds of years ago in regard to how certain peoples ended up in North America before the United States of America even existed. Besides, it has no relevancy to today's illegal immigration problem in the U.S.

Do you really want us to regress 200 years? Thats what your logic is calling for.
200 years ago we did it this way, so we need to do it the same way now?

Don't ya just love it when they have to resort to the past to justify today's illegal immigration when most of our ancestors either came here when there were no immigration laws or came through Ellis Island when there was? These same people are big advocates for immigration south of our border both legal and illegal so just what does that say about them then? Pot, kettle, black.
I have got to rep. that. Great post. Bravo Bravo

The USA takes in MANY more legal immigrants every year than any other nation on earth. Far far more than the nations to the south take in.

And the USA has never been an all-white nation. Never. From the very beginning the USA was more racially diverse than any other nation. And if racial diversity is your goal, what are you going to do about Japan and Korea? Why aren't you hammering them about their immigration laws and lack of illegal aliens?

It's very very foolish to claim that the USA ever was an all-white nation. Or do you just fail to realize that there are black-Americans?

Oh, Chicagonut has openly supported efforts to "maintain a white majority culture" in the US.

Right, I'm pointing out that even as an analogy it fails.

Funny that you say that when you complain about having to compete with people in other countries.

But I think you also said you own a candy shop so none if it follows.

Just more rhymes.

It sure seems like they are racists, they only care about hispanics, mainly Mexicans.

You pose some excellent questions but they won't be answered. We have always been the most racially diverse country than any other one, always.

That is totally false. Do you have brown tears?

Yes, and this same one continues to ignore the fact that I said no country should lose its national identity, culture and langauge via ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. How can someone who takes one's words out of context having any credibility at all?
