WHICH tribe of Indians? They had their share of nasty wars with out and out murder, theft and so on before 1492. Why give them a pass in 2013 yet a "white" person did something bad in 1550 people are still up on arms over it. 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.
Good Lord..you have to go back that far to argue your point ?
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.
Whites are at the top of the pecking order in the US.
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.
I personally know of hispanic women who had 16 kids living in a 2 bedroom house. They aint the duggars considering 1/2 these kids are dropouts or have been expelled and few of them are in jail. Disgusting is what it is. The hispanic population is exploding thanks to ***** like this and illegal immigration and its tearing our country down.

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