For anyone interested,
Many have wondered on why there has been such a fuss over the issue of illegal immigration - and yet what's fascinating is that many have never chosen to see the issue as connected to things which the U.S has been guilty of and yet never really acknowledging.
Specifically, you do not hear of the U.S actively choosing to kick others out of the country who are Native Americans....but how often do you hear of others from Mexico (which is often discriminated against in the talks of immigration regulation) as described as Native Americans?
Many have pointed out that the Illegal Immigration issue is directly connected to the issue of Native Americans since the reality of the matter is that those often deemed illegal (such as Mexicans, for example) are simply called Hispanic when the reality is that their descent is actually from Native American groups (i.e. Incans, Mayans, etc.) and other groups that were in the Americans before European Colonialization. - and thankful for the solidarity between Hispanics and Native Americans when realizing common connections and how much Spanish culture itself involved the Native American dynamic - as the mixture of cultures happened and was often something the Spanish were very upset about - but Western Powers often try to divide groups among themselves, in the same way others tried to pitch Illegal Immigration and Immigration in general as harmful to Blacks even while they forgot on those who were Afro-Latino
And when considering the extensive history of Native American territory conquered, it is interesting to see how much the mindset was advocated that you had to change the way that you saw people on the maps you had of them in order to justify dismissing them. For reference, one can go here in How the West was lost by Native Americans and the organization known as Mexica Movement: Indigenous Liberation Through Education to or here in the following:
