This isn’t the first time the indigenous people of this country have been replaced because of some group of elites political desires. Just remember, we ARE the current indigenous tribe...but not for long. History does indeed repeat itself.

I don't follow your example. While there is a similarity of change, it's not history repeating itself, except maybe as parody.

The Cherokee leaders didn't decide submission to the USA was a good idea and force it on their people. They didn't have the wherewithal to prevent it.

With any smidgen of backbone, the border could be closed. This is national suicide.

“They didn’t have the wherewithal to prevent it.”

And neither do we.

“The Cherokee leaders didn’t decide submission to the USA was a good idea and force it on their people.”

BTW, the Cherokee leaders submitted to ‘American civilization’ fully 30 years before the Trail of Tears. They were better educated and more eloquent than you or I ever will be. Many were rich. They won supreme court decisions in their favor, but it didn’t matter. Just like it doesn’t matter now. Do you own your property? No. The state does. And I’ve had to uproot and leave my home because of a barrio moving in. Millions of US citizens are having to leave their home for work, yet the aliens and visa holders work in our home towns.

All our protests are as hollow and ineffective as they were 200 years ago and we have no more rights than those folks did. We can’t get the government’s support or protection against invasion any more than they could. And if another amnesty is given, that’s exactly what it’s going to be.
