And certainly it doesn't include Texas...
You're correct: it was Spain that treated the native Indians bad back in the day.

Texas ran Mexico off just like Guatemala.

Uh, huh and does this reflect the sentiments of the majority of Americans? You know damned well it doesn't. However the polls show that a majority of Mexicans do think they should be able to come to the U.S. without permission and that the southwest still belongs to them.

Mexicans: SouthwestU.S. is ours

Natives did have extremely tough immigration laws... in fact in the 17th century they were pretty close to ridding the whole continent of the European illegal immigrants.

You are implying that European illegal immigrants broke no native laws... (I think you mean no European laws).

April 26,1607, three British ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery made landfall in the New World. The settlers aboard those three ships eventually established a settlement at what is now known as Jamestown.

Those original settlers were 104 brave men and boys (there were no women), all of whom were Caucasian Europeans who later became notorious for being angry white males.

These white males came to the New World only to pursue a better life for themselves and their families. In fact, however, these men and boys were America's first illegal aliens.

Native American Indians living in the Jamestown area in 1607 included the Pembroke, Paspahegh, Nansemonds, and Powhatan tribes, among others and tried to eliminate these white illegal settlers...via this declaration and precedent they imply the law.

What exactly were the borders in 1607 recognized by these tribes?

I'm still waiting for THE IMMIGRATION LAW. Not an "implied" law, but an actual written document. Where is it?

A law must first exist to be broken. Now, for the umpteenth time, stop the BS and post the law.
