Hello! I see you are from the United States. If you are not 'native American' then your forebears were immigrants at one time or another. God Bless
There is no problem with immigration. All countries depend on it greatly.
The problem is when you start saying that anyone, any time should be able to immigrate and just come live in your country.
Cells in our bodies have membranes, cell walls, that descern what comes into it. They allow certain things in and certain things must be removed from inside the cell.
When bad things sneak by, we get sick and can even die.
This is what the boarders of a country do. They allow people in, when we need them and they will benefit the country... We keep them out if they are a threat to the safety of the population.
In relation to the native americans and how they were treated and how all that went down...
I must remind myself of how things were carried out in the lands of Europe for centuries... You simply invaded the land, killed all the men, raped the women and took it over.... In the end, that ethnic or group of people ceased to exist... all of them.. Then you started a new nation.. only to have the same thing done to you in a century or two.
That was the way..
Do you... Do we actually think that if the British and Spanish and Dutch had of just respected the great people who were in this land, back then.... and left them alone... That later, the Germans, Asian or some other power would not have come and wiped them out later?
Do you actually think that they would still be here today?
Sadly, that is not the way of this wretched world.
I think that they were a great people... just that the ways of this world found them and did what they did to every other people of any land that got conquered.
Was it right, was it Christian... nope.... But, that was the way things unfolded for centuries.
