Well ... the pilgrims *were* illegal aliens from the native North American indians' point of view.

What law or laws did the Pilgrims violate by coming to North America in the 1600's?

I saw video of this “Diversity Training” session on “The Factor” earlier tonight and it was downright creepy.

It reminded me of Nazi Germany.

This wasn’t training, this was brainwashing.

If my company did this, I would be in HR with my Attorney the next day.

You propose the Native American indians were required to have a centralized government and a written work of law established before they had the right to view Europeans as unrequested, and in many cases, unwanted immigrants? I think they did a fine job making their point of view known without such. By simple example, the First and Second Cherokee Wars were engaged by the entire Cherokee nation in an attempt to defend their lands from colonial encroachment. Don't sugar coat it or pretend it didn't happen. This nation wasn't given to our ancestors; they won it, by force. And if we forget that simple fact, or worse, ignore it, we'll find that our land -- our inheritance from them - has been won by a contemporary invader and revised into a likeness that is not our own. I'd rather learn from their mistake and defend our borders with fervor now than to fall as they did.
