The Native American National Council will offer amnesty to the estimated 240 million illegal white immigrants living in the United States. At a meeting on Friday in Taos, New Mexico, Native American leaders weighed a handful of proposals about the future of the United State’s large, illegal European population. After a long debate, NANC decided to extend a road to citizenship for those without criminal records or contagious diseases.
“We will give Europeans the option to apply for Native Citizenship,” explained Chief Sauti of the Nez Perce tribe. “To obtain legal status, each applicant must write a heartfelt apology for their ancestors’ crimes, pay an application fee of $5,000, and, if currently on any ancestral Native land, they must relinquish that land to NANC or pay the market price, which we decide.
“Any illegal European who has a criminal record of any sort, minus traffic and parking tickets, will be deported back to their native land. Anybody with contagious diseases like HIV, smallpox, herpes, etc, will not qualify and will also be deported.”
European colonization of North America began in the 16th and 17th centuries, when arrivals from France, Spain and England first established settlements on land that had been occupied by native peoples. Explorers Lewis & Clark further opened up western lands to settlement, which ultimately led to the creation of the Indian reservation system.
Despite the large number of Europeans residing in the United States, historical scholars mostly agree that indigenous lands were taken illegally through war, genocide and forced displacement.
Despite the council’s decision, a native group called True Americans lambasted the move, claiming amnesty will only serve to reward lawbreakers.
“They all need to be deported back to Europe,” John Dakota from True Americans said. “They came here illegally and took a giant crap on our land. They brought disease and alcoholism, stole everything we have because they were too lazy to improve and develop their own countries.”
Is there anyone more stinking racist than people who think they aren't racist because they come up with such simple-minded ideas?
I'm an American, but I can never be President of the United States. I wasn't born in the United States. I was born in the District of Columbia, blessed by a paternal surname of obscure German origin, traced back to a ship that brought that particular set of ancestors to these shores in 1732.
Does that make me a German? Certainly not a British subject, however, even if that was before Independence, but certainly English since the set of surnames two flights behind me are all from that neck of the woods.
And since my grandfather, one of those handing me one of those English surnames, was half Creek, which almost certainly makes me part Indian and at least in part "descendant of slavery," one might say (though most of my ancestors had a more colorful description, something about a "woodshed.").
Only an Indian or an Anglo saddled with the weakest since of their own history could come up with this Junior High kind of nonsense.
Being an American in the 21st Century, I think I'll be very realistic and just pardon my own self, thank you very much.
Why?
Who did the Nez Pierce tribe STEAL the land from?...
let them apologize first..
Why not?
We came to Pennsylvania in 1652 in the ship Samuel of London, England. Don’t expect a check in the mail.
The Chiefs were dictators.. i.e. Mob Rule by mobsters and shamans..
You know... democracy..
I know. However, they have little cultural affinity with the American Indian tribes. Let me put it to you this way, when it comes to getting bennies from Uncle Sugar, the “Americans in Waiting” will simply see the American Indians as competition for the goodies.
Never mind that the various American Indian tribes took territory from one another for centuries.
How I love anesthesia... and nerve blocks...
Hey, you are the one that said it, was it just random words that came out of you for no reason?
“They brought disease and alcoholism, stole everything we have because they were too lazy to improve and develop their own countries.”
Yup. Those Irish drunks...
I know I do.
1. I am as much of a native of America as the Chief is. I was born here, and even if I returned to my ancestral lands, I would be considered an American.
2. I have traced my family back over a thousand years, and will share the data on my American ancestors so he can investigate their crimes. When he comes up with something, we’ll talk.
3. I was not aware that aboriginal peoples here had laws regarding immigration and the ownership of property. When the Chief provides me copies of the laws in question and any property deeds my ancestors violated, we’ll talk about that too.
No, of course not...In my opinion, it would be interesting to know...I was referencing my own curiosity. Evidently, you are also interested or you would not have asked me why...You’ll just have to satisfy yourself, for I can’t do that for you...
So do I...I am Scots/Irish and Ani-Yun-Wiya...
errata: wither = either
Personally, I think the whole thing from the NANC is ridiculous, but it did strike me as humorous.
Some of the comments being made were also ridiculous though...
Will the Chief also return any land that his tribe appropriated from another tribe?
Should the Comanche engage in Comanche Guilt and make compensation to the various tribes that they swept from the Great Plains?
