illegals deported In the context of the on going discussion on immigration laws the stand of this country on the illegals deportation I encountered a discussion from few months ago on the issue. This is the wise response of a Native American on the legitimacy of immigration from Mexico.
“Laws, treaties, boundaries, borders, and promises meant nothing to you if you thought that, as a white man, you deserved to have it. Gold on our sovereign land, here comes the white man! Shortcut to the West, we don’t need to pay any damn Indians no damn toll fees. There is very little moral difference between your ancestors’ actions and some gang member who is helping himself to your grandma’s wallet. A squatter is a squatter. So I tell you squatters to get off your high horse.”
I wonder sometimes if we as American took the land by force why do we think we can demand others to do any different. If you were born in another state or in another political situation wouldn’t you do the same?

    We may have taken America by force, but i personally think its different because we legally own America therefore we have a right to say who does and does not come into the U.S.A
    My personal opinion.
