Native American shouts, "You’re all fucking illegal. We were here first.” Yeah, and we all came from Africa hundreds of thousands of years ago. So?
"It may be more accurate to think of Native Americans as US citizens who must pay federal taxes, obtain US birth certificates, register for a US Social Security number, and carry a US driver's license for identification. This is considered to be a separate issue from nationality per se, which means that someone living on tribal territory is always free to consider himself or herself a member of a recognized tribal nation. Native Americans were not officially granted US citizenship until 1924, and some states continued not to recognize their legal rights as full citizens until the late 1940s". Source: Wise Geek
We are ALL legal citizens who were born here or who have gone through a legal process to become one. It is those who have crossed our borders against our laws who are not, who are criminals and now our elected leaders, who can't solve the tremendous and costly problem, want to give them a path to citizenship the easy way.
The pen is sometimes mightier than the sword.
