Yes. The Pilgrims were illegal immigrants. They landed in America without the permission of the American Indians, who owned the land by virtue of residence for thousands of years. No one except the Indians had the legal right to give them permission. And the Spaniards and the Dutch and the French and the British before the Pilgrims were all also illegal immigrants. And after the Louisiana Purchase and the 1862 Homestead Act, all the whites who went West were illegal immigrants again on Indian land — in some cases after treaties were signed with the Indians setting aside the land for them. And of the hacks and foul-mouthed Conservatives now wagging their tongues about undocumented immigrants, how many of them are recent descendants of immigrants themselves? — and illegal themselves, because ALL the Europeans in this country are here without the approval of the American Indians whose land they usurped and continue usurping? There is so much hypocrisy in this country now, too many of us choke on it. The author Jodi Picault had it right recently when she said: “It’s really hard to love America sometimes.”

Illegal immigrants to which nation exactly? And please link a map of this particular nation which shows its borders at the pilgrims time of arrival. You know... Just so we can all be on the same page...
 
No they weren't. Not even the Natives thought they owned the land. This is a bit of fol de rol pedaled to the ignorant. It is a lesson on where the failure of education leads.
Native Americans didn't have the concept of personal ownership of land, but they certainly had the concept of territory! Why do you think we had so many treaties that we broke?
Why were the “peaceful” Native Americans murdering each other?
For territory.
 
how could it be illegal?
When the cherokee defeated the creek over territory disputes, was the cherokee illegal immigrants?
What if there were people here before the NA?
Your entire premise just screams mental retardation
and the NAs displaced and decimated other tribes long before the whites came
Yes. Thousands of years longer
Did you see this? Her face is in the last ten seconds of the video. They're not releasing it anywhere separately.
She looked very Asian with an African nose.

Don't forget the Templars!
And the Vikings.

According to what law?

The scraelings didn't have a written language let alone laws.

Imbecile.

and??
 
The best way to start to understand other cultures is to be grateful for that culture's contributions to all humanity. When we drink water or farm in the Americas that water and soil was enriched by many centuries of Native American occupancy, agriculture, and burial grounds. When we eat corn- be thankful.

I saw it a couple weeks ago. Its awesome we found someone that old. Next up, even older!
 
Often it is WAR that displaces one group when another group challenges them for occupancy and use of land. Many tribes, cultures and nations have been engaged in this kind of struggle. The term "legal" is European. Native Americans are still here as are the immigrants. Modern USA is evolved from an intermingling of many peoples. Racism is so prevalent in America because many Americans deny that we are in a different era now. The world is multicultural now- face it.
---------------------------------------- time to clean up the USA as best we can AZg .
