Reply Anon 8/17/09 I'm with you Mike, funny but not any truth to it that could hold water. Reply cal, lewisville, tx 8/17/09 Now we seem to be in the Indians' place-immigrating ourselves out of our once great existance! Reply J Carlton, Calgary 8/17/09 They probably think its pretty funny that there are now road checkpoints within the US, ostensibly to look for illegal aliens....what a lark! You're papers pleez! Reply jim k, austin 8/17/09 When I was little, many moons ago, we played cowboys and Indians. That was before the idiocy of political correctness infested our land. Now I suppose it's cowboys and native americans. Reply Doug, Calif 8/17/09 Every year at Thanksgiving some liberal newspaper publishes a cartoon showing American Indians greeting the pilgrims as they arrive. In this they attempt to shame anti-illegal immigration advocates by showing how their forefathers were being treated well when they arrived uninvited and how there is some irony in that picture that we should all learn from today. What I learned is that the Indians allowed unchecked immigration to overrun them and look what happened to their societies. Reply Judith, Corrales 8/17/09 America allows over one million legal immigrants a year. How can we assimilate such a crowd? A Canadian fellow told me more than 20 years ago that our problems stems from trying to absorb so many people into our towns and cities. Almost the flood that the pilgrims caused the Indians. As an aside, the Indians have some advantages in that they own their houses on the res. and cannot be taxed out of their own homes and property.
