He has no point at all. Just another reconquista living in the past. I'd like to know what tribe this guy's ancestors were from from since the ancestoral tribes of the Mexicans weren't even indigenous to this country. Those who were are citizens of the U.S.
2. the Indians had no means of "naturalizing" immigrants
3. the Indians were a hostile military force, which was defeated. Thier "laws", if they had any, were no longer relevant on those lands. Are the laws of Nazi Germany still enforced in Germany?
If the Indians wanted to maintain thier lands, they should have had a better military, fences, and immigration laws which were enforced. We should learn from the Indians.
How many centuries must pass before U.S. citizens are considered legitimate occupants of this land? How long must this "stolen land" nonsense continue?

I guess until all of Mexico's citizens are living here.

1. Indians had tribal laws about who was allowed on their lands.
2. That actually proves his point, many tribes did not accept outsiders at all.
3.The indians were the native military force, not a hostel one, you compare them to Germany when you should be comparing them to France since it was the Europeans that invaded their lands, not the other way around
wow, your argument is that because the indians were not as advanced as Europeans, they were justified in taking their lands, smdh
How does them fighting was against each other make his argument untrue ?
.
Any nation can go to war & try to take land away.
The land was never the Indians. It was never a country.
Anyway Indians helped in the Revolutionary war to defeat the British colonial rule.

by your own logic, that means we gave up rights to US land during the civil war and any nation who wanted it could rightfully take it
Technically the south seceded.
