The ONLY reason there are Indians now to complain is because "we" allowed the defeated tribes to live.
The only ones complaining are the whiney Mestizo Mexicans whose ancestral tribes weren't even indigenous to this country. Their tribes settled south of us. The descendants of the tribes who were indigenous to this country are full fledged U.S. citizen and I don't hear them whining about the past.

Hispanics aren't the "problem"! Illegal Immigration is. So you want to complain you have your Reps in Congress to complain too.

Ellis Island was the legal route then.
Ellis Island opened in 1891, decades after the largest waves of Irish and Germans came in (all of my ancestral lines came before that, even the Poles and Danes). Largely it was a reaction to Eastern and Southern Europeans starting to come, with their Catholic religions, being viewed as less-desirable immigrants that needed regulation. When it came down to citizenship (which was more sought after for land ownership abilities than voting), local German-ancestry judges were inclined to sign off on their countrymen before they reached the required amount of residency or conditions.

So what? Since this country was formed we have always had a majority white population. Is there something wrong with that? Do you also object to China having a majority Asian population? Me thinks not and I know why. Only dominantly white countries are demonized for being so by people like you.

Take it up with the other member who claimed it wasn't the case, I'm just pointing out the obvious or not so obvious.

It's also specifically discouraged in the ToS: "Do not post in your thread ("bumping" it) just to have it appear on the top of the forum."...

So how things were done in the past aren't done the same way today. Your point is?
