Race card fail.

I want ALL illegal aliens GONE, not just Spanish speaking Indians.

You're pulling the race card card.

Based upon the definition of the word "immigrant", how did either of these groups "Immigrate" to the United States? And why do people continue to make the false canned statement that "Every American is an immigrant"?
The "Native Americans" including all Central and South Americans came over from Siberia during the Ice Age.

3 things wrong here:

1: ALL people here; their ancestors came here at different times.

2: Before about 1800, what's now called "Mexico" was part of Spain.

3: I was born and raised here in the US, both my parents were US citizens. I'm NO alien, legal or illegal. The end.

Uh, yeah but not for all of human history. Spain conquered what's now Mexico like England conquered most of the colonial US, but it had been occupied by native tribes. The Aztecs and Mayans were brilliant people.

Regardless of what you feel our immigration policy should be, I don't think it's necessary to have a knee jerk reaction to illegal immigrants, or to denigrate these people who are just seeking a better life.
Knee jerk reaction? What are you referring to?

The attitude of extreme anger many conservatives seem to have when discussing illegal immigration. See, Breitbart or the Illegal Immigration forum for example.

Everyone here is an immigrant, a descendent of immigrants, a visitor/guest, legal alien or a criminal alien. So-called "native Americans" are no more "native" than any other group, though their descendents immigrated a little earlier from Asia.

Well, Native Americans are indigenous to this land, while everyone else is not. They've been here for 10s of thousands of years, it's not like they came 10 years before the Europeans.

That's not a knee jerk reaction.
