Gillibrand To Activist: You’re Right, Border Wall Would Cut Off “Indigenous” People From The U.S.

By “indigenous,” do they mean Native Americans whose land straddles the U.S.-Mexico border? Because those groups do exist.
Or are they using “indigenous” to describe people who used to be Americans before the border cruelly shifted north to exclude them and who should, perhaps, be allowed to reclaim their American heritage for legal purposes? Because there are Democratic politicians with considerable and still-growing influence who seem to favor that definition.
Let me put this another way: Is the 2020 Democratic platform going to reference “Aztlan”?
Either way, one thing you can’t take away from Kirsten Gillibrand is that she’s a bold truth-telling avatar of truthy boldness. Always taking risks:
If there’s any political identity bound to cause controversy in modern America, it’s … mom. Or, as Gillibrand calls it, “carer-feeder.” Follow that link and try to imagine how much bravery it took to let the Associated Press take multiple photos of her performing “carer-feeder” duties given how allegedly risky that is to her political chances.
Here’s your daily reminder that Gillibrand circa 2009 not only would have demanded that we build a wall across the tribes’ land, she would have added extra money for a moat. Two clips below, one of the “indigenous people” exchange and another of her generating excitement on the trail.

They’re indigenous to somewhere else. We are perfectly happy to let them stay that way.

If the Spaniards are the “Indigenous”, what’s Gillibrand doing here?

Right, send them back to their ‘home’ and give their ‘home’ back to Spain. :)

If, by virtue of being Native American, are you entitled to emigrate to ANY country in South or North America? I am not sure that other countries in this hemisphere see it that way.

Fine, there heathen savages from central and south America. Send them home. They were never resident here. I don’t see any American Indian community welcoming them as members, do you?

Gillibrand is either totally nutso or totally cynical.
“Indigenous” means one thing: “New Democrat Voters”.
Civil War II has already begun.

I’m a Native Earthling, and thus by that logic can emigrate to anywhere on the planet without passport or permission.
Also, being an American alive during the Apollo era, I claim native status to the Moon, as well. We are its First People, so it’s by rights ours and no one else’s. Any references to the Moon by other societies would be cultural appropriation, and I am offended in advance, and demand reparations. Don’t get me started on the word “lunatic”.

By indigenous, do they mean Europeans?
It's a growing theory (though one clearly going against the PC winds), that "Europeans" migrated to the America's thousands of years before the "East Asians" did...and were either killed off by the larger migrating groups from east asia, or were "integrated" into their groups from east asia, occurring either in the America's and/or in Siberia.
European style stone tools suggest Stone Age people actually discovered America
By Bob Yirka | February 29, 2012
"...Stone tools found recently in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia in the eastern United States, all appear to bear a striking resemblance to tools used by Stone Age peoples in early Europe, and have been dated to a time between 19,000 and 26,000 years ago, a period during which Stone Age people were making such tools, and long before the early Asians arrived.
...The evidence is further bolstered by the recent discovery that an ancient knife found in Virginia in 1971 was made of flint that originated from France.
...Stanford and Bradley also point out the lack of evidence of any human activity in the north-east part of Siberia or in Alaska any earlier than 15,500 years ago. And the reason early Asians won out, evolving into the people now called Native Americans, was because their window of opportunity was much wider, 15,000 years versus just 4500 for the early Europeans. Thus the original Native Americans were either assimilated or killed by the large numbers of migrating Asians. Evidence that it was likely the former has been found in the DNA of skeletons of North American Native American people. Also, the language of several Native American tribes doesnt seem to have originated from Asia."

Scientists have unearthed ancient artifacts that are upending the history of mankind

Out of Europe
By Dan McLerran | Jun 1, 2013
"...New excavations in the southeastern U.S. and the mid-Atlantic were yielding artifacts dated to pre-Clovis times. Sites like Meadowcroft Rock Shelter in Pennsylvania, Cactus Hill in Virginia, Miles Point and Oyster Cove on the Chesapeake Bay, as well as the offshore Cinmar site, to name but a few, all revealed lithic artifacts arguably dated thousands of years before the oldest Clovis points found across North America. And like the Cinmar point and other points uncovered throughout the eastern U.S. and at underwater locations off the eastern seaboard, the Solutrean assemblages found in Europe, and more specifically southwestern France and northeastern Spain, shared remarkably similar characteristics.
The majority of the oldest dated sites in the Americas with undisputed artifacts are in the Chesapeake Bay region, maintains Stanford. The artifacts from these LGM (the Last Glacial Maximum, between 26,000 and 20,000 years ago) sites are technological and functional equivalents of artifacts from the same period found in southwestern Europe and are not technologically or morphologically related to any east Asian technology."

If I understand US border law correctly, any community that is split between borders can request a border guard of their own. They can become a port of entry.
If so, that’s all they’d have to do.

When I think of peoples indigenous to the Americas, I think of people who are 100% indio, such as the ones who live in the mountains of Bolivia and wear colorful native costume and grow potatoes. They account for 20% of Bolivians. Anyone of mixed ancestry cannot be considered indigenous because without their white or African or Asian ancestors, they wouldn’t even exist.
The Senator’s position that the land belongs to the indegenous people could also be applied in a place such as Hungary, which is over 90% Magyar, if it wants to refuse to admit immigrants and refugees from the Middle East or Somalia.

They’re only indigenous if they’re where they’re supposed to be, i.e., not here.
