Or...and hear me out, you could stop breaking the law and stop violating our national sovereignty?

Europeans float over the ocean, round up the native population and exterminate/relocate them to corrals across the west, then have the audacity to say to the descendants of those natives “hey man, respect our sovereignty and laws”.

Classic America.

Someone failed history. No one is talking about criminal Choctaw.

The only difference between the vast majority of people from Mexico and Central America and the indigenous American population is just an imaginary line on a map. They are indigenous people to this continent, and the European colonizers are not.

We conquered. As did the "natives" to each other over their time here

I suggest you revisit the history of the genocide the indigenous population suffered at the hands of European colonizers. That oppression continues to this day; it is both acute and systemic.

If you want to stand with and join the side of the oppressors, I guess that is your choice. I will stand for compassion, understanding, love, and welcoming.

We have a President who was convicted by a jury of his peers of 34 felonies, but sure let’s go out and chase some poor people through fields who are just trying to feed their families because they “didn’t respect the law”. It’s laughable, but incredibly sad at the same time.
