People here not actually are ILLEGAL immigrants seeing as this is a sovereign nation with borders and laws.Way different situation when europeans arrived here and lands were settled over time.

What defines a sovereign nation? There was the Great Sioux Nation, the Iron Confederacy, the Blackfoot Confederacy. They may not have had city halls or taxes, but they were still a nation, no less than the tribes of Africa, South America and Australia. We conquered and exploited. We land-grabbed.
The only reason that the land was wide open was because the Europeans had bigger guns and better diseases. In a clash of civilizations the Europeans took the land that the Natives lived on, the natives fought back, some agreements were made, some agreements were broken, and the side with the poorer technology and organisation lost.
So, I'm sorry but it's not crap, and I think you're pretty damn ignorant to think it so.
