Sovereign indian territory is unconstitutional? Where do you come up with such nonsense?

My personal opinion on Indian reservations is they either should become 100% sovereign nations, with their residents being citizens of those nations and not Americans. And they should operate as actual sovereign nations with all that intails. Visas, border check points, customs, etc...

And if they are unwilling to do that, reservations and all aspects of indian nations and indians privileges should be eliminated in total.

The Feds signed treaties with the Indians and broke most of them. Governments aren’t supposed to break treaties that have been signed in good faith and most of these treaties were via unilateral action.

If anything, Indian nations should be given greater autonomy in running their affairs.
