No one else does ---why should just the Indians do this when the rest of the Americans also don't demand any payment for what we provide?
There's a lot of us that are pretty vocal around here. Please don't lump us in with the Democrats, RINOs and fork-tongued indians like that. ;^)
The reason for this uphill battle is the tribes have fought to gain special rights for themselves years. Special rights not afforded to the rest of the citizens include tribal Casinos, harvesting game out of season (allowed for personal consumption but some members of the tribes shoot deer and harvest salmon in gill nets and sell the products to resturants).In Alaska, only the native (not native born) eskimoos may harvest whales or raise reindeer.
Since the tribes insist upon their own police force and their own set of laws, it is only fair the tribes pay for any additional security to guard their borders.
They can easily do this with just a small portion of the profits raised from the tribal Casinos, and the latest scam of selling low priced cigarettes mail order shipped anywhere in America, a "right" forbidden to the rest of us "citizens".
In all fairness, the indians did a lot more than "trash the place" when they were the ones crossing the borders to raid Mexico.
