- DNAS testing to confirm NAtive American heritage is contingent upon the bloodline of the mother being consistent. TO simply assume that someone isn''t part Native American because it cannot be confirmed by DNA is a misnomer.
Aside form that, spending enough time in North America will eventually make us all Native American. It comes from the land we live in. Heck, most of us are more native than we are European. Don''t believe it? Visit Europe, and note the drastic physical differences between us. We are a changing and evolving people. This kind of breeding has made us smarter and tougher than many.
BTW, nations refer to indigenouds peoples of the hill country, middle America. Native Americans were driven off of that land long ago by white settlers using deceitful tactics. But that is ancient history now. And we are learning what the aboriginal population knew.
As I said earlier, we are a changing and evolving people. - Reply to this comment
- The work illegal means just that. It means that they have NO LEGAL right to be here, and should have already been deported. I am quite aware that economic situations in other countries are very bad, but we already have people in this counry who were born here or are here LEGALLY and the jobs should go to them first. There is no interpretation here, they are either here legally or not.

- It all started on May 12, 2008, when hundreds of federal immigration authorities raided Agriprocessors and arrested 389 workers.
GOOD. I don''t feel sorry for any of them. Get out and stay out. You broke the law. "There are a lot of people in the U.S. who, frankly, wouldn''t have a lot of sympathy for you," Doane reminded Rucal. "They would say you shouldn''t haven''t been here you were working illegally and you shouldn''t be able to work here."
Right on. GET OUT. YOU DO NOT BELONG HERER. I hope you in up in JAIL. - Reply to this comment
- The Rule of Law was suspended under Bush, how can we expect Corporate profiteers to behave any better; isn''t free market capitalism an inaliable right too....
I have NO mercy for any citizen working with Agriprocessors who saw and said nothing this past decade....shame and poverty are due you all.... - Reply to this comment
- That is a presumption that cannot be substantiated. Any time anyone is schooled, all benefit, even ffoulkes, any time anyone is cured, all benefit, even ffoulkes and anytime anyone works in a productive enterprise, all benefit including ffoulkes. We have just seen thougtless bankers received nearly a trillion dollar bailout after their irresponsible actions and yet you look to poor and hard working people as the source of our economic problems.

Not THE source, but A source, definitely. Look. There are many reasons were are where we are. No one party, group, etc. is responsible.
However..as you state, yes healing an individual is better than not, however it should be his own government doing the healing...same with teaching.
Our government should not be forced to pay for people who don''t even have true social security numbers in order to pay taxes to have educations and medical benefits, let alone housing, food and monetary support.
These people should be in their own countries working toward fixing what is wrong there, or filing to LEGALLY come here if that is their choice. They are here ILLEGALLY, and there is simply no excuse. - Reply to this comment
- More blow hards trying their anonymous damndest to make their tiny little voices "heard".
facts are facts; they were raided for the illegals, they are being shut down because they didn''t hire legals to keep the plant going. No president, at all, did this to them.
end of story. - Reply to this comment
- Hey did you see that Carter was banned from returning to the scene of the crime Zimbabwe where he helped leave a Neo-Marxist thug into power. Helped turn a once prosperous country into starving millions.
I suppose now he will have one of his fire side chat%u2019s to tell them socialism is great. - Reply to this comment
- The state went to Osama (Obama) I hope it goes down in economic flames!

Again, you put words into my mouth. I never said they were savages, again you did. You need to stop taking your posting ques from schoollord, truthrocks and Professor99.
It does no good to lie like you have been doing. Clearly, you have read history that has been slanted to fit a political dogma.
Have a good day.... - Reply to this comment
- If poverty is so bad where ever these illegal aliens come from, where did they get the 14,000 bucks to pay for the ticket to come here? I sure don''t have that kind of money...

- Bush''s treasonous plan?
1 - Late night TV ran infomercials for years while the real estate market was raped; these guys biught mansions and yachts, drove the price of housing through the roof, which increased taxes, and then bailed on mortgages that no one, not even the tenants they used to pay for their outlandish lifestyles. All of this happened because of deregulation, which Bush was against. And very few people could afford to realize the dream of home ownership after the greedy got done flipping the market.
Top that off with the fact that everyone is thinking that the Government can bail us all out without us having to work and pay taxes. How in God''s name are we supposed to earn if we aren''t working. Let the banks fail, save industry. AT least we will have an income stream, and hopefully won''t starve. - Reply to this comment
- Actaully, the down-fall started long before the election. Wake up and learn how to think

You are right. It started when the liberals took over congress but greatly accelerated when Obama was elected president. - Reply to this comment
- I think some people claim this because it makes them feel like they are more American or something.

- And the Europeans, the English, the Spaniards and others could have gone to other points in Europe to build up that society but they didn''''t. They came to the shores of America to build their own society. The fact that others already lived here, had great civilizations, useful, meaningful and productive lives did not matter to them at all. Then you go on to say these people are a drag on our society. How does hard productive labor become a drag on our society.

How do I know this? Because I have read history, thats how. Sorry you feel the way you do, but I can''t do much for you, till you figure out if you''re an American or not.
Again, I only spoke of lwas in my 1st post. It was you that added the race to it.
Laws are not aimed at anyone in particular.
And your asertions that the indians were not known as Nations back then reinforces the notion that you may not know what you are talking about.
They were known as nations back then, and still are known as that now. - Reply to this comment
- You''re getting off the point. Native indians has nothing to do with this story. They came here illegally and should be returned. If they want to come to the USA... do it legally! Or fix their own country and stay there.
