Pop star Billie Eilish has been hit with calls to either return her $3 million Los Angeles mansion to a Native American tribe or welcome migrants inside following her controversial Grammys declaration.

The 24-year-old singer won a Grammy for her hit song Wildflower on Sunday, but it was her acceptance speech that got the country talking.

'As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land,' Eilish said, referencing the colonization of the Americas by Europeans.

If you take this line of thinking to its natural conclusion, that would mean there shouldn't be any nations or any borders anywhere, since most land currently occupied belonged to someone else at some point or other. There is a large "no borders" contingent among left wing thinkers. This would work once Jesus returns, but I don't see it working very well under human rule.

Agreed. In reality, borders are human constructs. They don’t really “exist” except on maps.

If no one is legal on stolen land (as she said, although I've heard that statement before, she didn't make it up), then it stands to reason that no one is legal on stolen land either. Which is why they asked her to return her land to the Native Americans. In other words, put your money where your mouth is.

If it’s on stolen land as she claims then the house is not legally hers. ;)

Technically, isn’t the whole nation “stolen land” because it once belonged to Native American tribes? So should everyone give up their houses? That’s a rather murky idea ;)

That was the point. But she's the one saying it and being critical, so let her do something about it, aside from virtue signaling at the Grammy Awards.

But then anyone found on stolen land is illegally there therefore they are illegals.
