Why do people keep bringing up Native Indians in defense of illegal immigration?

Ok, this argument comes up again, and again... and again.
Why do people always bring up the Native Indians argument to say that everyone who has come to this continent since then is no different than illegal immigrants and has no more rights to be here?
The Indians migrated to this continent, just as did everyone else, before there were such things as LAWS and BORDERS. According to this logic, since all humans originated in Africa, we should all go back to Africa? Should we also go back to the primitive state of life where there are no laws, everyone comes and goes as they please, and possession gives you the right of ownership? Additional Details huntjames32 - Thanks for your correction. I agree that Native Americans is a better term than Indians, so thanks for pointing that out.

as a native american i agree with you 100%. and just to let you know we don't like the term indian because we are not from india or the east indies like columbus thought we where. not an attack on you but just to let you know. |

I agree. It is a tired argument. Every person on every continent has no right to be in the country they were born in (if we are to take this Native American argument seriously). All humans have immigrated and emigrated throughout history. That's how we populated the earth. Sheesh! |

I AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY, AND I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST IGNORANT, AND HAVEN'T FULLY GRASPED THE CONCEPT THAT NATIVE INDIANS ARE NOT "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS", AND THEY HAVE JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE HERE AS ANYONE ELESE, AND CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEFS IF THE TIME WAS TO EVER COME WHEN EVERY "RACE" HAD TO RETURN BACK TO THEIR "OWN COUNTRY" THEN I KNOW FOR SURE THAT NATIVE INDIANS WOULD STAY RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, THE AFRICAN AMERICANS WOULD GO BACK TO AFRICA, AND THE CAUCASIAN PEOPLE WOULD GO BACK TO WHEREEVER THEY CAME FROM BEFORE THEY CAME AND STOLE EVERYTHING FROM THE NATIVE AMERICANS. THSI IS HOW IT REALLY IS FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO THINK THAT THE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!. |

your theory stinks read manifest destiny there is always someone living there when the new tribe moves in the aztecs and the maya and the indeh and the hopi and are all immigrants and they fought each other for land my mothers people fought for and controlled parts of 5 states and soo the white men and their friends the spainish and french and the norse and the chinese and all yall are immigrants and every clan tribe and race is guilty of genocide to steal land and soooo what theres blood on your hands and if the people walk on up here and take your country its just there turn to opress the others and maybe we can hire them to wash some of the blood off our hands |

actually we (as native americans) believe that we were put here by the creator/god. then the english, spanish, french came to our world/land/country and colonized it to their satisfaction. stealing & killing to get what they wanted for themselves. so others seen what was happening and then all were coming into our land. as history has it...we were reduced in population due to disease, mobs, bounty hunters, etc...basically treated like animals hunted for sport/trophies/rewards. so in my opinion everyone else should be illeagal aliens except native americans. |

Because they are trying to get around the word "ILLEGAL". Native Americans used to be incharge of the U.S. Who cares! This is now and that was then. Hell, even the natives themselves were divided so you wouldn't even be able to give back the entire U.S. to all of the Native Americans but only a certain portion to specific tribes. And those tribes themselves killed each other and took over each others land. So who is to decide? This is the present so people need to stop BSing. And whoever said the Spaniards assimilated with the Aztecs, who cares. The Aztecs where in Mexico so maybe all of the illegal Mexicans should stay there if you keep trying to use that stupid argument. You say the "rednecks" took over the U.S. so what the hell makes you think it would be okay for you to try and do the same. Half of the people posting here must be little fifth graders from what I'm reading, geez. I usually try to be civil but people are starting to get annoying. |

Yeah, that drives me crazy. It's not as though I don't want people immigrating here, but the fact is that illegal is illegal. My great grandmother jumped through the hoops to become a citizen, so why can't these people? |

If we were to use their logic, then the Aztecs and the Mayans have the right to boot the Mexicans out of Mexico... |

It's about making the less informed citizens of the USA belive that we should set aside our laws if favor of their illegal Rights.
Is there such a thing as ILLEGAL RIGHTS?
I Think not! |

They were the first known peoples to set foot on what is now US soil. Everyone since has been an immigrant. Period. No matter how you racists slice it, you all came from somewhere else. |

Man I don't even know, all I know is that the immigrants bring all the good drugs with them. I have never gotten any good stuff off of a native american. As long as they keep the good drugs in the hands of the good people, or whomever ends up staying here. |

It's just a diversionary tactic used to put those who are in the right in the defensive. |

Immigration should be done legally, it will be safer for the immigrants and screen out life-long criminals and make more room for honest, hard working people. |

Because rednecks take immigration as a form of invasion.... but english people actually invaded native americans, killing them and claiming THEIR lands, that's why.
By the way... for the guy that feels proud of knowing how to spell Aztec, yes, Spain actually invaded Mexico and that was wrong, but they did blend with the native mexicans, therefore, we are descendants of them, and there is no reason to kick us from Mexico, and we don't need the "Thanksgiving" thing to clean our consciences.... read a book before writing |
