We are as guilty as descendants of these people we won't afford amnesty

I just never get how people think the way you do. For starters, the so called native people came here as well, they did not just spring up out of the dirt.
So unless you want to try and say by virtue of them arriving here first(having never purchased this land either), it does not make any sense. Even if they did arrive first, how does that give them claim?
Regardless of that, once we became a nation, we set immigration laws that have served us well, and should be followed today.
Lets not forget that other nations, including Mexico have their own immigration laws, and do not allow just anyone to become citizens because they enter illegally.
To those PC types who scream it is because of race, there is no racism against Hispanic immigrants. They are allowed to follow the procedure and legally immigrate, have done so over many years, and will continue to do it the right way.
Yet the bleeding hearts (who also have unsavory political motivations) want to reward those who broke our laws and allow them to jump in front of everyone doing it the right way.
It's both funny and sad how this fact is ignored or brushed aside when liberals advocate for illegal aliens to receive amnesty.
