That's a great point. Even the proudest white supremacist wouldn't fault the natives for defending their land. I mean... it's ours now. But good on them for trying.

A nation of White immigrants. You don't discover, conquer, colonise and develop a wild country into the greatest nation on Earth just to hand it over to whoever waltzes up to the border.

They are. It's when they mix with arab north africans and native americans that they become swarthy and uncivilised.

We are, after all, a nation of immigrants.

Congratulations, you can remember what you were taught by your cat-lady 4th grade teacher.

Technically there were no immigration laws at that time so there were no laws to break to do so illegally.

Technically the indigenous savages were migratory and had no valid claim to any given land.

Most had no system of ownership at all... land or items.

Technically they may not even have been indigenous, since they migrated here and have genetic origins that can be traced to a different landmass.

They always have to pick something out of history and tell themselves they're evening the score. A bunch of self appointed Gods.

The original Europeans who came to North America were not "immigrants". Immigrants are people who move from their country of birth to a new country. When the original Europeans arrived here, there was no "country". It was a nameless continent, sparsely inhabited by small tribes of stone-age, hunter gatherers.

The original Europeans built a nation in a wilderness. They were not immigrants. They were explorers. They were settlers. They were conquerors.
