The topic seems to bring out Republican hysteria, but I'm wondering what normal people think. I personally do not lose any sleep over illegals in this country.

Here's a good quote:

Quote:
"Few of us can trace our ancestry to the Mayflower. But it’s worth noting that, from a Native American perspective, those Massachusetts Bay pilgrims were illegals".....- Timothy Egan, in the New York Times

Can anyone say they or their ancestors were not at some point in time immigrants?

The First Nation people were not immigrants.

They were first.

Those who came later were the immigrants.

I don't know why this is so hard to understand. Possibly the bigots who want to justify the genocide perpetrated against the Native Americans simply and willfully refuse to understand it.

Pax!

I'm more concerned with the illegal drug traffic that politicians for some reason have no interest in. Which fosters the illegal arms trading and the illegal sales of adults and children to the really "black" market of the sex trade. All these things seems to be connected and with billions of dollars being laundered all around the world.

Perhaps, but from a perspective of wooly mammoths the First Nation people were immigrants.
