Are americans squatters?

Dirty Martini

(ding dong, ding dong)

2008 calling. Wake up, smell the coffee. Join us.

The only squatting I do is when I'm planting flowers in my front yard.

I've got the deed to my property and that deed is recognized by every court in the land.

As much as the present Native Americans where when they first got here and wiped out the Anistzi people and anyone that was here before them.

Stuntman

Very very true.

BillyBob

You do know it's 2008, don't you.
NO laws back then, NO illegal immigration. Sorry dude, I learned that in school, you should try it. Seriously, this is 3rd grade stuff here.

John

I know, it is in fact a little amusing to watch all of it!

You mean like Mexicans squatting down crapping on our lettuce? The colonists who landed in America in the 1600s and predominately anglos i might add built this wonderful country that your countryman are tunneling, climbing fences, swimming the Rio Grande, walking the desert to gain entry. You are just another jealous Mexican, so live with it.

If I was born here...then I'm not illegal.

I'd be an "illegal squatter" in any other country too since I wasn't born their either. Tell me, where should I go? Outer space?

Ooooh. Tear in my eye.
It's safe to say most injuns were more barbaric than islamofascists. Not that you'll see that in any hollywood masterpiece.

Justin Case

Yeah, why don't all six billion people on the planet just move back to Africa from whence we supposedly all originally came.

Then we could give the continent back to the dinosaurs. Oh right, they're all dead.

Okay, we could give the continent back to the bears, and the raccoons, and the buffalo. That is, if there are any buffalo left.

Diablo

Lay off some of that beer in your avatar, delete this stupid question, sober up and come up with a question that doesn't make you look like a moron, because this one does.

G.H.CURTISS

interesting thought! only problem is it ignores history and uses a warp sense of truth! First native Americans are citizens of the USA also! Second,American Indians never had or needed a claim to the land. Third they were the weaker force. They lost to a stronger force. This was the law and way of the time. Stop trying to put today's standards into history!
last, you are trying to make modern point about illegal immigration by using twisted history. This is like saying Italy owes me because the Romans invaded my ancestors village and took their land.

angryamerican2008

are you one of those americans? if so, why create more dissension? if not, and you're just jealous.... come get some. communist...

mike4400

I don't know about the rest of you people but, My Family came here as Settlers. And if the Indians want what they say is theirs....let the rise up and take it back if not Go to the Reservation and Gamble and have a Drink on Me...

!truth!

Have another bottle of whatever you are drinking. If what you say is a fact then the whole country must be in denial. Migrating to an undeveloped country is not the same as migrating to a sovereign country. In case you don't know, a sovereign countries are countries with established laws.

Molly Pitcher

Don't forget to read the chapter that explains how the Native Americans traded some of the land (they thought they were getting the bargain since they didn't believe in land ownership) for guns and ammo. They wanted the arms badly, to defeat other tribes. Plenty of settler recorded treaties verify this, as well as oral Native American tradition. Its not really squating when material goods are exchanged for the land.

Joel W

And if you had ever had any history instruction in your life, you would have discovered your presentation is flatly wrong.... except on the streets. Until the Reservations were established, the American Indians did not have any land at all. Some had traditional hunting grounds, but those hunting grounds were up for grab by anyone who was bigger and stronger and could take it. And 'traditional' hunting lands must have changed hands a 100, 100 times in the course of the history of the American Indians.

Prof. Cort

This argument was old 50 years ago. The answer is no and your argument is without merit. It is interesting that the Spanish descendants try to claim this argument when it is equally true about the Spanish takeover of central America.

chuck_junior

If you think that's true, come get it back. I'm on land BOUGHT by treaty, and part of the USA.

Please feel free to come get them back.

HEH

If you can.

No.....

Really.

You think you own it.

I'm TIRED of the innuendo.
Either come get it or STFU.

Come GET it.

Good luck with that btw.

Lisa

I think Native Americans have a much higher standard of living NOW then before our European ancestors came here. You should be thanking us!

pinkreb004

last time i checked i paid my mortgage which included property and all those other taxes. i have the deed. my property, my domain. i win.

Dave M

I'm just thankful you Indians never had the Holey Bible - if you had we whites who moved on to your land would be in for a fearful situation - simular to Israel.

Jared

Anyone who has done their homework knows that the whites didn't take or steal anything from anyone including land. Native Americans simply inhabited the land and were immigrants too at one point. Although nothing can be done about, it is true.

Iceman

dodgy question, be careful

Karen

except the native americans didn't give us free medical care, jobs, food stamps and subsidize our housing. .... just the occasional hair cut.

Micky

No,sorry,no squatters here,nice try though. I suppose I should remind you that native Americans also immigrated from elsewhere. Are they squatters as well? According to the very European kennewick man,they just might be!

cheyenne

Funny how that works isn't it? The white eye mostly. If I'm not to far off here I'd have to guess they were the first to start that trend.

Anyone who has done their homework know there was nothing given for the land or to the people as promised. Although nothing can be done about, it is true.

After reading some of these, I'll say the propaganda is still stuck in a lot of peoples heads. Amazing how people are reacting to this. Well, not a shock but a disappointment.
