Well, maybe I'm living behind the times but to me the phrase "Native American" means someone who belongs to or is descended from someone who belonged to one of the many tribes of what we used to call (before Political Correctness descended upon us) "Indians".

I consider myself an American of British and French-Canadian descent, with a dash of Austrian thrown in from my maternal great-great-grandfather's side after he ran off with an 16-year-old hottie from Vienna. All of my ancestors were originally immigrants and all pre-dated any kind of legal requirement for entering the USA. So I'm an American who is descended from immigrants (for which I sincerely thank them all -- nothing against Britain, Quebec, or Austria but I like it much better here )

But you are a native American and not an immigrant. Your native country is the United States.

Native-Americans is the politically correct term for what were once Indians, but the most accurate term would be indigeneous or better yet to call such peoples by their own names: Sioux, Cherokee, Dakota, Apache, etc...

Hear, hear. Second.

You don't, nor are you likely in the future to, see their kids OD'ing on coke and heroin.

They are also entrepreneurially oriented. I worked for one in California who ran a family owned business. I was the only Anglo who worked there. And, I had a harder time working for most Americans.

Oh no this group are drinkers and women beaters. Most become felons by age 16 doing sex crimes, DWI, gangs,
Check the California prison population, they make up over 80%.
Ask ANY police or corrections officer.

The California wildfires were likley started by "south of the border" squatters the woods.

I'm pretty sure he is. Aside from Joe L having a ridiculous attitude similar to what I'd imagine people thought of reefer crazed negroes in the 20s, I bet a lot of those homes that are burning had pretty big lawns. Why would illegals want to take money out of their own pockets?
