They were settlers and pioneers, here even before there was a US.

There's nothing wrong with immigration just as long as it's kept legal, and those who come illegally aren't rewarded.

I think it's time for you to lay off the pipe. You seem to have a thing about American Indians sooo... The invasion by europeans on america was bad for the indians, right? It pretty much destroyed their whole culture. Yet, the invasion by millions of illegals now is a great idea and good for citizens currently here? Your arguments make no sense. Do you WANT the USA to crumble?

After 237 post it's a bit late to suggest to you to shut up lest you make a fool of yourself in your endeavor to be a shill. You should go back to America 101 and do some fact checking! You are dumb as dirt when it comes to our history. Blackbird.

the pilgrims were immigrants. GW and TJ were not. The indians were destroyed by a wave of foreign invaders. They had no chance, being a stone-age culture confronted by a proto-industrial one. We, on the other hand, are not so powerless, and should look to the indian experience as an illustration of what happens to a people who let too many foreigners squat on their turf.
You just destroyed your own argument and any shred of credibility you might have had.
You have also clearly NOT looked into laeti.
Your pose of superiority (progressiveness and compassion) is threadbare.
