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.
We're still waiting. Which laws did they break?
In fact if you read accounts they were careful to obey the laws of the day and the laws of the tribes they encountered. In some ways they were creeps -- they were religious fanatic sexists who were here because they wanted to have a country of Puritans. But that's a different thread.
In any case most illegals are hispanic therefore most carry some blood from Spanish conquorers. The Spanish conquistadors were not exactly known for their humanity or love of the natives let alone their respect for local customs which often consisted of war with neighboring tribes. So it's a bit rich to have their whiny, arrogant descendants break into our country without permission and call us all kinds of names when we ask them to leave.
It's also ridiculous for them to claim not only the right to come here without consent but to the right to demand American tax dollars for having done so.
Illegal Immigrants. Ask the Native Americans. You are all hypocrites and are the descendants of illegal immigrants. Of course back then they where called Pioneers and Explorers but it's the same difference.
^This.
Though I will say my people didn't come here on their own. We had nothing to do with the stealing of what's now America (except for the Buffalo Soldiers).
A law must first exist to be broken. Now, for the umpteenth time, stop the BS and post the law.
Problem is, you're using European cultural standards. Just because Europeans didn't respect the law of the Natives doesn't mean they didn't have law and that the invaders from Europe didn't break it.
I offered the law of the land implied by the Indian aggression towards white settlers in Jamestown, which SQUATED on their tribal land.
If I provided a letter from the Powhatan tribe, the next thing you would ask for is "was it notarized?"...
You are inferring that Jamestown was legal. Do you actually believe this?
Sorry, but YOU are the only one discussing Jamestown. Again, without a law, there is no violation of said law. They clearly did not have an immigration law during that period. Otherwise, you would be able to quote from their law. But, of course, you can't.
