Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Well... most tribes didn't have a concept of land ownership. Some paid, others stole. Without Europeans, they would not have firearms, "firewater", We still pay reperations to them. We allow them to have casinos. We give them free housing.

Indeed, a country taken by white people murdering the natives on the backs of slaves. the UK and quite a few other countries aren't far behind.

you can't load a musket as quick as an arrow but you can kill the native's food source from the comfort of your railway carriage.
@LeighShelton They infected sheets & blankets with Smallpox & gave them to the tribes.Buffalo onced roamed the plains in herds of up to one million,but were nearly hunted into extinction.Mainly for the fur trade in the east.
@Coldo 60,000,000 down to a few hundred and disease was the only way to beat the natives
@LeighShelton Near Genocide of both.It is estimated that since first contact with the white man,till the total defeat of the Indian Nation 100,000,000 Native Americans were killed. Most by Smallpox.
@Coldo and many other peoples too like South Africa, Australia.
@LeighShelton True bro?This was the case in America, Africa,Australia,& Other Parts of the "British Empire" The rest was just outright invasion!
So because we did it it is alright? Actually, there were no laws about immigration when the Europeans came. Maybe the way we took land away from the natives was the reason this nation (and all nations) developed laws. To me the #1 priority of a nation is to secure it's borders and control who and under what circumstances people can enter. It is and should not be about people but about policies under which all (immigrants included) must live!!
