I am American Indian and White mixed...
my grandmother was 100% full-blooded American Indian passing herself off as white because she was ashamed of being Indian, and terrified that someone would find out. She always denied being Indian. My half-breed mother told me about it. I saw my 1/4 Cherokee father ashamed of being part-Indian and deathly AFRAID that someone would find out.
Also my great-grandmother on the other side, died because a white doctor in Kentucky refused to treat her. My half-breed grandfather did not even know what year or month he was born. My family for generations has been ashamed of being Indian and never wanted to talk about it or let anyone know about it. They wanted everyone to think they were white people.
I am AT LEAST 37.5% or more American Indian, 2 kinds mixed...Cherokee and Blackfoot.
This is my ancestors land and I want ALL illegal aliens to leave my land and wait their turn in line and return legally. As an American citizen whose ancestors came from England in 1621, and who helped found this country and fought in the Revolutionary War against England in the 1770's and were Revolutionary War heroes I want the illegal aliens to leave my country and go back to their country and WAIT THEIR TURN IN LINE and apply to come here LEGALLY. I am also related to George Washington, the 1st President of the U.S. under the U.S. Constitution, and also related to Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
Alien means foreigner. Immigrant means LEGAL alien, a LEGAL foreigner. Illegal alien means illegal foreigner, whose very presence is ILLEGAL and who has absolutely NO right to be here in the U.S.
I want ALL illegal aliens to LEAVE my country and return to their home country and apply to come to my country LEGALLY and wait their turn in line just like the immigrants.
An illegal alien is NOT an immigrant and an immigrant is NOT an illegal alien.
An immigrant applies to come to the U.S. LEGALLY and waits their turn in line and comes here legally and has a RIGHT to be here and I welcome them gladly.
An illegal alien enters this country ILLEGALLY, which is a CRIME, and which makes them a CRIMINAL, or else enters here legally, but they VIOLATE the law by violating the terms of their stay, and then they become an ILLEGAL alien, and then they become a CRIMINAL.
The law MUST be obeyed. NOBODY has the right to be exempt from obeying the law.
I used to be married to a former-illegal alien from Mexico. I was getting his papers in 1987 when the 1986 IRCA amnesty came to town and I told him to get his sorry butt down there and apply as it was easier and cheaper. We have an 18-year-old daughter and I divorced him for alcoholism. He always wanted to learn English but never had the opportunity. Now he speaks English almost as good as I do, because I taught him well. You would think he was born in this country if you talked to him. He is almost 100% Americanized. He is almost as American as I am. He drives the American way and he is appalled at the way they drive in Mexico. He dreads IRS just like any other American and he makes darn sure that his taxes are paid and his tax return is filed on time. When he can afford the money he will apply for U.S. citizenship. The lawyer wants $1,500+. He has had his green card since 1992, more than 14 years.
I have also seen the welfare and food stamp fraud by illegal aliens and by former illegal aliens who got the 1986 IRCA amnesty and we both have seen the CRIME, RACISM, LAWLESSNESS, VIOLENCE, extreme ARROGANCE, etc. by illegal aliens, especially those scum from Mexico and Central America. I could tell you some stories...
Hopes this helps.

Actually, these lands were BOUGHT from the natives originally. Unfortunately for the natives, they did not have the discipline to abide by the land sales of their leaders, or else one tribe tried to make claims on land sold by another, meaning that the Indians had not dealt in good faith because they took payment for something they did not own. The Indians began attacking the settlers who thought they had lawfully purchased the lands, and so the wars between the settlers and the "natives" began.
So you can leave off with that nonsense about land being stolen from the natives, because such a claim is as patently false as the claim that we "stole" the lands from Mexico which we in fact paid handsomely for in a couple of treaties. Heck, the Indians fought endlessly amongst themselves before they decided to fight against the Europeans. They just failed to realize when discretion was the better part of valor when they attacked a superior enemy.
