Just how many of us are actually native Americans?
Answer:
I am.
Unfortunately, in this 'war of words' . . . those who control the semantics, in this case the illegal alien lobby, guarantees that the choice of words and phrases used will essentially control the debate. That is why the pro-illegals crowd will NEVER use the word "illegal" in conjunction with "immigrants," so that when they refer to our country as a "nation of immigrants," they are able to obfuscate and blur what should be a perfectly clear view of very contrary facts!
In a very subtle but complex way, the illegal alien lobby is getting most Americans to submissively place themselves on par with those illegal "immigrants" who are invading our 'nation of immigrants!' By controlling the dialogue the pro-crowd has taken the issue out of our control, and placed it in the hands of those countries who are exporting their citizens. It is a form of psychological warfare, using propaganda as a support for illegal aliens, primarily from Hispanic and Latino countries, who are demographically overwhelming our country. It is propaganda meant to disarm Americans so that we will not resist the "human tsunami" of some 23 million illegal aliens that have already invaded and balkanized America, and continue to arrive at a rate of 10,000 per day.(1-8) Unfortunately the pacification seems to be working, since most Americans, along with the media, have readily accepted the notion that 'we are a nation of immigrants' as being true and factual!
Believe it or not you ARE a native American.

heritage has nothing to do with illegal immigration by way the Native Americans came from somewhere else?
LONG BEFORE the white man set foot on American soil, the American Indians, or rather the Native Americans, had been living in America. When the Europeans came here, there were probably about 10 million Indians populating America north of present-day Mexico. And they had been living in America for quite some time. It is believed that the first Native Americans arrived during the last ice-age, approximately 20,000 - 30,000 years ago through a land-bridge across the Bering Sound, from northeastern Siberia into Alaska.

Most of America's illegal immigrants come from China.
The ones FOX news reports on are from South of our border, and some people only get their news from the most biased and unbalanced news agency on T.V. so they are very mis-informed.
I. by the way, am a native born American with Cherokee blood coursing through my veins.
I rarely hear of native americans raping,murdering,thieving,or drug dealing..here in arizona,to hear of a mexican doing those criminal acts is common..report me if it makes you feel better,but it's the truth & everybody knows it...
911 didn't make it more difficult for Mexicans. Truth of the matter, their own country does that for them.
ALL countries have minimum requirements. The less education or work skill you have, the lower on the list you go. Some countries will add additional points onto your application based on amount of wealth you bring.
I'm not "native" American. But, my forefathers were WHITE slaves, brought to this country. Something you'll never hear Jesse Jackson or the NAACP mention.
My mothers sire name (and history), under current immigration laws, would have allowed my forefathers to claim political asylum had they wished.
The "built on immigration" statements are true. But please keep in mind, when you take a bath, you run water until the tub is full (or about), then you turn it off!!! Otherwise you have a big mess....kinda like we do now.
i am pleased to say i am not. i am not a member of the land of the free. and until you president is black female or gay i will never show any intrest in your land.
There is no such thing as a real "native American" because even the "native americans" migrated here. We were just the first one to enforce laws. We win.
I was born here, I'm a native by many generations. It is legal presence in the United States that built the infrastructure and provides education and services that is the question, not where we got the land from hundreds of years ago. It is the United States that makes the land north of the Rio Grande more desirable than that south, to the people who come illegally.
All countries in the world got their land through conquest. Thereafter they build and protect their own worlds. A basic right of sovereignity is deciding who can come in.
We have limits on immigration of poor people who are too poor to pay for education and services with their taxes because we subsidize those services for our own people. Illegal immigration is ruining our schools and services. Their children are NOT more important than our own, and they have NO right to steal our children's education for their own children by entering the country illegally.
This Nation was built on the backs of slaves! The Stock market was based on slavery,sugar and rum. Slaves did not immigrate as you put it, were not considered human until the mid to late 1800's and could not vote. They were property. Former slaves were finally granted citizenship after the Civil War in 1865, but Jim Crow Laws exsisted until the 1960's and beyond. African American Slaves were still being held in the South according to a report done by the late Peter Jennings in parts of the south through the 1970's, illegally! You cannot compare or define the border jumping Illegal Alien to that experience or that of the Native Americans, as they erode our Rights as American Citizens. Like so many other Americans, I was born here and I am of Chocktaw, Native American and Irish decent!
Hispanola is the area in which their conquerors first landed and the reason they speak Spainish. They obilterated them to near extinction.
The Mexican government and others in South and Central America were being paid to allow people from the Middle East to get into the country of America Illegally for quite a few years. Did the 9/11 bunch get in here using them? Why are the Borders not being shut down?
Some Comanche and other Southwestern tribes inter-married with Mexicans who were Conquered by Spain. They no longer speak the language of the Tolmecs or Aztecs etc...they speak the language of their conquerors. The territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and others were signed over to the United States by Generalissimo Santa Ana.
Yes, you are so right! My great great grand parents on my father's side are from Spain and my great grand parent on my mother's mother's side are from Mexico, but great great great grand parents on my mother father's side are from France. So you see The United states is just a big melting pot, I don't care what race you think you are, if do the research you will find just about everyone living here is not full blooded anything. Big shocker for the KKK. I'm sure there are some full blooded something but not to many. If not for this melting pot most of us would not be here, but that cool cause in the near future there will be only one race, THE HUMAN RACE!
You are totally wrong. This nation wasn't "built on immigration." This nation was built on the rule of law. The rule of law is what separates the United States from everything to the south of us.
As to your blathering about Mexican immigration and the roots of US immigration, save it, I'm not interested.
It is the fact they have no respect for the law which is shown by crossing our borders illegally, stealing our ID's and stealing social services from middle-class Americans......the immigrants that settled our country were a completely different kind of immigrant......they did not come with their hand out yelling gimme, gimme, gimme or I demand my rights, you owe me.....
Every illegal in our country is a terrorist which do more harm that a middle-eastern terrorist could ever hope to do...Bin Laden only wishes he could inflict as much harm on our country as the illegals!
Well, my ancestors didn't come illegally. They paid for thier trip here, went through ellis island, registered like good future citizens. Before that was available they went through the channels they had to get here...then fought in the revolutionary war (got papers to prove it...kinda neat looking too by the way..). etc.
Now my best friend, her parents came here in the 30's at different times immagrating from Ireland and they followed the letter etc. Her father fought in WW2 for the US at Normandy. Made it back met her mom, married, and then had the kids (total in all 6) so they'd be "native" americans but of Irish decent....
If it was good enough for them I feel it's good enough for all immagrants wether they be from Mexico, Canada, Europe etc.
If my Step father and family all born in Scotland followed the law to get here so can everyone else. It may be a hard and long road but wouldn't that make it even more precious?
My great-grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee and the rest of my family has been in this country since 1657 so does that qualify me to be here?
The first thing these people do upon entering our country is break the law. There are immigration numbers to be kept and once that number is met no more are let in for a reason. Back in the 20's and 30's when people were coming mainly from Ireland they managed to do it legally. They also didn't go into someone else's country and start demanding things like people today are.
You asking me? or all the members of my tribe? or all the tribal members of all the Native American tribes within the United States?
Let me ask you something, if I may. What exactly does being a Native American, AKA, Indigenous to the north American continent have to do with the continued and criminal act of illegally trespassing upon a sovereign nations lands, demanding rights, and raping at will, the social systems which have been set up by a legal government for the legal citizens of the nation?
Tell me these things and I may give you an answer to your question.
The Indians also migrated from another Continent.There were well over a hundred different tribes.They all spoke different languages,had different customs.They were not peaceful before the arrival of the settlers .Since the Indians did not believe that one could own the land,they professed no claim to it.There was no central government so there were no central laws against immigration.then.A war between the two factions ensued and the settlers/immigrants won. The Indians and settlers alike lost many
lives in the battle.
My ancestors came to this nation in 1702.They were merchants from Germany.They all came at one time on one ship.Since that day my family have all been native born Americans just as all native born legal Americans of all colors are.
There were no laws against immigration in 1702 so my ancestors were not illegal.The laws were first made in 1800s and were simply a few exclusionary ones for certain people from certain country's.Not until 1924 were laws passed that curtailed mass immigration. So what you are saying has no basis in fact or in truth.Many white men married Indian women and intermingled with others As the white women have married Indian men..Many of us have some small trace of Indian blood in our family's.Its said with pride and respect that we are part Indian not shame.I was born in Oklahoma the center for the Cherokee Nation.
This is an untrue statement: below:::
Most of America's illegal immigrants come from China.
Most of the illegal aliens are from south of the Mexican /US border Laitin America.You are misinformed.I dont get my numbers from Fox.I live in Arizona and across our border the Border Patrol Records/numbers prove that 99% of the illegal aliens caught and jailed or deported are Hispanic.the remaining 1% are classed as OTM.
Actually, Americans built this country. Immigration averaged only 235,000 persons per year prior to the disastrous 1965 Immigration Act. That's only 47 million immigrants over the course of our nation's history.
Compared to our current population 300 million, that's not much. And then, if we add all the people who have lived before in the United States, we are approaching a billion total Americans who live now or who have lived in this country—all of them, or at least most of them, busy "building" it.
Great links Bob
Don't know do not divide people by race
Mexico has the best immigration deal of all the countries
more from Mexico than any other place on the planet isn't so hard to do it legally
The MS13 gang would qualify as terrorist and there are thousands of the gang members here
By the way native Americans immergrated from China and Russia across Ice bridge
They didn't just spring from the ground. Everyone is from somewhere else be an American
Apparently Indians lived where ever they wanted before the white man came along.There is evidence the Aztecas were living in Illinois at one time.
Some of you are saying the Indians came from Russia and China. I have never seen a Russian or Chinese as dark as the Chiapas Indians living near Cancun. I know there other tribes just as dark.
I would bet big money that everyone of us true Americans have Indian bloodI'am an American born and raised in the United States of America.I have Cherokee blod in my vains and I'am damn proud.My gggreat grand fathers fought and died to help make america what it is today.and I bet yours did too.
I was born in the United States, therefore I am a Native American. What matters is who YOU are, not who your ancestors were.
I have fought for this country. I will fight for it again. Soon!
An excerpt from your answer(the only part i will address):
"This nation was built on immigration."
This is true. What people do not realize is that the indigenous people were here for thousands of years before europeans settled. The most well-known theory is that my ancestors traveled across the bering, to this America...
...so after the indigenous peoples were here for thousands of years, growing in population...having children which were in no doubt to be known as "NATIVE" to this land...the euro invasion occurred. SO...the indigenous people that were invaded upon, were in fact Native to this land, since they were born here...they did not come from anywhere else...they were born onto this land that is now known as america...
Those who sailed here from other lands...were alien, immigrants, not of this soil.
...immigrants...they were...among many other things, of a much more distasteful nature...
