Do the Pretindians realize most White Americans have Indian ancestry? (born, illegal immigration)

[censusdata]

To all the 70% Spanish "Pretend Indian" (Pretindian) Mexicans saying they have a right to live anywhere in North or South America because they are part Indian... do all "White" Americans with Indian blood in their vains get to be part of Nican Tlaca and avoid being forced back to Europe?? Last time I checked (at least where I live) nearly all Whites have at least one Indian ancestor.

One of mine (Cheif Big Feathers, a Cherokee) went on the trail of tears and died in Oklahoma. Does this give me a right to deport any Hispanic living in Kentucky who has Spanish ancestry?

I'm not pretending a thing, i have no indian blood in the veins at all. I am Italain and Spanish, and don't claim anything else because born in this Country, i am American, don't care where my Ancestors came from, i am an American, born in this Country. I don't understand you why do you want to deport Spanish people who were born in Spain, who live in kentucky, what have they done to you, i am not saying my ancestors have Indian blood, you are.

Where are the rest of the options? May as well add:

Stupid misleading heading that has ZERO to do with the actual "poll" options

Wait until your long lost tribal members - those mestizos from way down near Mexico City get a glimpse of the Indian casinos in the USA. They're going to demand their rights to either some of the US Indian money or insist they have rights to build casinos - and have fishing rights of US Indians and that government tribal money.

The whole idea that the Aztecs ruled over the entire North American continent is absurd. The Aztecs ruled over about a 35 mile radius near current day Mexico City and would have never come in contact with Indians in current day USA. For one they would have had to walk the whole way but another, they could not have survived invading other territory on their own.

I know many White Americans have Native American blood in them, but I don't think most do. I have Cherokee blood running thru my veins also, but I don't think I should be deported because of it. My mother went to see the trail of tears in PA she said it was one of the most saddest things she has ever seen. She told me the story and it brought tears to my eyes. Anybody with negative comments about Native Americans should do some research and read what they went thru trying to protect THEIR LAND from the white man who was stealing it from right under their feet. If they want to build casinos on their land so be it, it's their right to do so, look at what the white man have built on their land!!!! I also don't agree with anyone being deported over this, to much time has passed for any action like this to take place!!!!

We have treaties with the native indian tribes that were indigenous to this country called the USA. They have all the rights and priviledges of any other American citizen. The subject of this forum is illegal immigration. There are Mexicans who are coming here illegally claiming indigenous rights to this country and there lays the problem. Their ancestoral tribes were not indigenous to this country. Not only that but there are American citizens of Mexican ancestry who are of the same mindset.

I crack up at posters that put all Indians in one big lump. It is as diverse as those from Panama, Cuba and other Countries with Latino populations. It's also comical to see people post up like they think Indian tribes all got along. Anyway, back to illegal immigration. If they are coming here illegally to the current US they need to be removed even if by force.

Pretindians... loves it.

The people of Mexico are obviously mixed European and Native decent at varying degrees. Some consider themselves pure European Spanish, others are pure Native. There are even Natives in remote parts of Mexico that don't know Spanish.
