~*The Official Thread of One Term/Twice Impeached/Worst of Them All Presidential Tantrums, Candy Throwing, and Pants Shitting*~

I am 100% on the Indigenous protester's side here. However, it's a pet peeve of mind when people claim that the Americas were a peaceful utopia before Europeans came. There was war, tribalism, murder, rape, and everything else that the rest of the world had. The only difference was that the Indigenous people hadn't advanced to the same level of technology so it was less organized. But we barely have any recorded history for the continent, and to assume that they were all hunter-gatherers who co-existed peacefully is pretty naive. Having said that, what happened to their civilization was awful.

Well, to be fair 'we never had walls here' is a pretty uncontroversial statement. I mean, there was mostly free movement of people all over the world really until less than 100 years ago.

Yes, your ancestors probably did come here legally — because 'illegal' immigration is less than a century old
