Thread: Should illegal immigrants receive amnesty? Yes

How dare Americans restrict, put out and put obstacles in the way of people who want a better life, especially since this land was never ours to begin with. The only natives in this country are Native Americans, and the U.S. government chased them off to reservations and terrible conditions. The name Trail of Tears says it all.

THE LAND IS OURS. AND ANYONE BORN IN THIS COUNTRY IS NATIVE AMERICAN. NATIVE AMERICAN DOES NOT ONLY APPLY TO THOSE OF AMERICAN INDIAN ANCESTRY. NONE OF THE SO CALLED AMERICAN INDIANS THAT WERE LIVING AT THE TIME THAT YOU DESCRIBE ARE ALIVE...THEY ARE ALL DEAD. THE PAST IS THE PAST. AMERICANS BORN HERE ARE THE NEW NATIVE AMERICANS. DONT TRY TO GUILT TRIP US...IT WONT WORK. THE LAND IS OURS.

So for those who are not of American Indian ancestry, you are in fact an immigrant. America gave you or your ancestors a fair chance to be here, to live, share goals, values and cultures. Technically we are all immigrants.

AGAIN YOU ARE MISTAKEN. AN IMMIGRANT IS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT BORN IN THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THEY RESIDE. ANYONE BORN HERE IS NATIVE AMERICAN....NOT AN IMMIGRANT. WE ARE NO LONGER A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. THIS IS 2008, CATCH UP.

OH I FORGOT:

NO AMNESTY!!!!
