I say just take down every bit of information there is about these people's lives, give them a social security number, get them set up with the IRS, and call them citizens. Maybe then since they would be legal citizens, they can pay taxes, have the government know everything about them like we do, and then they will STFU.

If that were here in SoCal that crowd would have been 30 times bigger.

Somebody needs to ask that little brown baby maker how she's being denied access to education that she claims is happening. Ask her about the attacks she claims her people are subject to and explain to her that there are far more attacks on legal citizens done by her fellow illegals who are swelling the hispanic gangs.

Amnesty for all under 18.

Multi-year citizenship/education plan for all over that age that have been lawful in all matters domestic since arrival.

Immediate deportation to Mexico requiring a compact with Mexican officials to immediately prosecute all offenders in exchange for the amnesty.

I would be immediately willing to add ANY land mass to the US, regarding Juarez.

Mainly, it's dollar diplomacy, make Mexico as good of an option as the US and they won't want to emigrate from there. You can put land mines, whatever where there is a will there is a way...we have to eliminate the will.

That is because we follow a different philosophy than those countries - We are utilitarian meaning we follow a theory of punishment that seeks to punish offenders to discourage, or "deter," future wrongdoing - not a retributive theory which seeks to punish offenders because they deserve to be punished.

I do not think that has anything to do with being moral or immoral - just a different philosophy of "morality".

So, now the great Mongo, the same guy that had such difficulty comprehending ENGLISH, purports that my motive was "to try and sound smart."

Let me clarify a few things for you.

I do not fit in a political box, my platform is one that I, alone, have created. This platform is in a constant state of flux, as I have yet to experience what will happen tomorrow.

I stated a clear parallel between the current situation and one that our country has been in before, both regarding domestic "civil rights" issues while fighting Eurasian (primarily) wars of ideology.

The purpose of this was to extend the debate's relativity, both historically and personally. I was curious to find what others might think of this "coincidence."

At no time did I, while writing the two quotations that you attacked, consider the "smart-lookingness" of either, rather, I was hoping to engage into a dialogue with anyone on the board that might want to explore the philosophical ramifications of our current time/situation, and expound upon possible rational conclusions that could occur due to our state of affairs.

If you would care to discuss the merits of a more simple argument, such as whether or not we should just put these kids in front of a firing squad, please direct your comments to others on this topic.

I try to stay out of such quagmire.

I was being a little sarcastic with the 1/64th comment but I do know that back in the 1800's many whites married Indians so they would be classified as Indians. I am sure that does not happen now.


There are about 1,000 full blood Chickasaws left and the Chickasaws have made a lot of money off oil and gas interests, too.

Wikipedia says the total population of Chickasaw Indians is about 47,298 - And you say there are only 1000 full bloods left - In my opinion - they are about all dead. Plus it makes me mad when I see that blond haired blue eyed lady talking about how she is a Chickasaw Indian on one of their commercials - She does not look Indian to me. I guess it makes me mad because most blacks in Oklahoma - (and really in the country) but especially Oklahoma have Indian Blood in them but once you have a little black in you - then your considered 100% negro. (unless you become the President).

Also - I see a lot of Full Blood Indians all throughout downtown Tulsa and surrounding areas- getting drunk off of Mouthwash and complaining about how so called white Indians are the ones making all the money and none trickles down to the true Indians. They absolutely detest those Indians that are making all of that profit. (I do realize that some of that is their fault because they do not take care of business) but I am sure there is some truth to that. As much money as the casinos make - there should not be one broke full blood Indian in America!


A He11 of a lot more than if they were still in Bama or Mississippi.

That is only a hypothetical. That's like black "sell outs" saying that if it were not for slavery we would not be in the "Great" USA... as if European colonization made countries better for the original inhabitants. I think America would have been just fine without European colonization and thinking otherwise is very ethnocentric!

I deal with full Blood Chickasaws on a weekly basis. I have probably leased over 100 "full bloods" in the Ada/Ardmore areas. According to the BIA they have knowledge of a little more than 1,000 full blood Chickasaws. The problem with many full bloods (Chickasaws are not alone on this) is that they are not enrolled. When I have asked the ones I have leased why they are not taking advantage of the many benefits that are offered by the Chickasaw Nation their response to me is that "they don't need to be enrolled to prove they are Indian". Well, that is true, but they won't get
the benefits unless they are enrolled.

Most Chickasaws (and Choctaws too) I deal with are proud of the tribes prosperity. Never heard any of them begrudge the profits for the Nation...which is where most of it goes to support their almost free healthcare and many other benefits. Well, the governor and lt. governor wages are a little extreme.

It isn't hypothetical at all to state that the oil lands the Chickasaws, Choctaws, and Cherokees moved to in OK are much more prosperous than the ones they left in Mississippi and Alabama due to the oil that has been produced there for over 100 years.

So you think that the US would have been better off without European colonization? He11, it was colonized by the Indians and Mexicans in their own method of imperialism...they just weren't as good at it as the Euros.
He11, look at Africa and see how advanced it is.

Well, the governor and lt. governor wages are a little extreme.

It isn't hypothetical at all to state that the oil lands the Chickasaws, Choctaws, and Cherokees moved to in OK are much more prosperous than the ones they left in Mississippi and Alabama due to the oil that has been produced there for over 100 years.

So you think that the US would have been better off without European colonization? He11, it was colonized by the Indians and Mexicans in their own method of imperialism...they just weren't as good at it as the Euros.
He11, look at Africa and see how advanced it is.

As a card carrying Chickasaw (1/16) I am glad where the Chickasaws are located now and the country where we reside.


First off - It is funny you say Indians and Mexicans when they are both Native Americans. One just speaks English and the Other speaks Spanish....and the Native Americans in Canada speak French - I would guess. I know that the Apache Indians are an Aztecan Tribe but since they got caught above the imaginary line - they are considered Indians and the rest of the Aztecs that were caught below the line are now called Mexicans. I think the reason they do not call "Mexicans" by what they are... Native Americans.... is because you can not call them Native American and Illegal Alien at the same time.

I am doing well now so I am not ashamed to admit that at one time I was homeless - I meet many full blood Native Americans at the Salvation Army, John 3:16, Standby, ect.... and those are the Indians I am speaking of. They are not fond of Partial Blood Indians making all of the money while not acknowledging them.

I do not know many full blood Chickasaws or Choctaws (I read somewhere and was told by my Grandmother that they were once the same tribe). I know many full blood Creeks, Seminoles and Cherokees though and those are the full blooded Indians I am speaking of. Maybe the sentiment is different. The only thing I know about the Chickasaws is through my family because my Grandmother was half Chickasaw and from my understanding - they treated the blacks in the tribe like s***! So she was not very fond of them. But the Creeks and the Siminols treated the blacks in the tribe a lot better - and many of the All Black Town in Oklahoma come from those tribes including the Cherokees (http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/A/AL009.html) (Creeks and Seminole were also one tribe at one time in fact the word Seminole means "run away Creek") My grandfather on the other side of my family was half Seminole and when he died he still spoke the Muskogee language. I only mention this to make the point that all of them are not fond of the partial blood white Indians making all the profit and none trickling down to the others while they make decisions of who belongs and who does not belong in the tribe. I have Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee in me but I can not get my Indian card. Even though my names are on the Dawes roll I can not get it because my mother or grandmother on either side of the family did not have one.

So I can only speak what I have experienced and know and I have no Idea how the Indians feel in the Ada area.

As far as Africa not being advanced - I will not wast time giving you a history lesson on how Europe and the Middle East destroyed the African Continent and still till this day rape Africa 90% of its natural resources but you should do your research if you want to know. European colonization, desecration and ethnocentrism has destroyed the foundation of Africa and that is why it is not Advanced today. And it is far more advanced that what the media portrays it to be today.

And you say that millions of Native Americans being murdered by Europeans was good for Native Americans??? I can guarantee that 1/16 of you would beg to differ!

I try not to use the term Native American...Indian is good enough for me. In fact, I hate all of those _ _ _ _ _ American terms. Indians are good about telling PC to blow it out its azz.


The terms used to refer to Native Americans are controversial; according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the respondents with an expressed preference refer to themselves as American Indians or Indians.


You think Mexicans and Indians didn't fight each other? They had many conflicts but, as I said, they weren't as good at it as the Euros.

In 1900 the population of the US was 76,000,000. There were 500,000 hispanics living here then. Hardly like 500,000 Euros displacing 76,000,000 Mexicans.

Why is it that the Land of the Pharoahs and the rest of Africa has been unable to join the modern world? Still the Euros fault? All the wars, raping and pillaging that is going on over there now is the Euros fault?

Most Indians were originally Asian and came over on the landbridge on the Bering Straits. They were living somewhere else once, too.

Indians murdered the Euros just like the Euros murdered them. Had the tribes joined together they might have had a chance to throw them out or at least defeat them. But that didn't happen. Now I still have a brain and realize the US is probably much more advanced today because of colonization than if it was left to the Mexicans and Indians (see Mexico).

And you are correct, the Choctaws and the Chickasaws were one tribe a long time ago.

Not to dispute how well the transplanted members of the Five Civilized Tribes did from oil and railroad money that was made in Oklahoma, but I can say for certain that the Mississippi Band of Choctaws have done damn well for themselves since they got casinos here.

Glad to hear it. I really wasn't putting down Bama or Mississippi, but rather
I was really alluding to the fact that at that time in the 1830's when the government gave the Chickasaws, et al, land in OK they thought they were giving them crap. And then, lo and behold, oil changed the picture.

They got some good farming/ranching land, too. Some enterprising white men figured this out and also figured out how to take advantage of it. At least in the Chickasaw Nation, and I suppose in the other Nations as well, if I white man married an Indian woman he could legally farm the land and run cattle. That's how a lot of the big ranches got started back in the days before statehood.

Yeah, those white devils. They also used to get the Indians drunk on firewater and get their land for peanuts (or firewater). That is one of the reasons the BIA established what is known as restricted Indian land. It can only be sold or their minerals leased with the approval of the BIA in an open court sale. A dam slow process to say the least.

In Ok this only applies to the 5 civilized tribes. We don't care about those other savages.

I've wondered how things might have been different for the 5 tribes, if at all, if they hadn't chosen to side with the confederacy during the civil war. I know things would have eventually wound up similar to what they are now, but I don't think there's any doubt that the hammer started to come down pretty hard once the war was over. A lot of people probably don't know that there was once a pretty good push to form an all Indian state named Sequoyah at one point.

I think the deal with the confederates was to get their land back in Miss and Alabama and still keeping the OK lands. And they were slave owners.

I had forgotten about Sequoyah. Most of our state today is based on their plan for statehood (as I recall).

That may be good enough for you but they are not Indians because they are not from India. Who gives a damn about what they want to be called. I am telling you what they are - Native to this country. And Columbus was not looking for a new route to India - He knew exactly where he was going. You can get to India on horse back from Spain so why would you get on a ship to find a new route to India. If any thing - he would of ran into Asia first - not India - they knew where Asia was as well.....you can get there on horseback too.... that is as big of a myth as ol' Ben flying a silk kite with a key on it in a thunder storm. I have never seen anyone fly a kite during a thunderstorm. That is about as improbable as the probability of thunder hitting the key. Those stories are as mythological as Paul Bunyan.



You think Mexicans and Indians didn't fight each other? They had many conflicts but, as I said, they weren't as good at it as the Euros.

Of course Native Americans fought amongst each other, just as Europeans, Asians, Africans, ect.... I am sure people in Ada fight with one another. You keep saying that Europeans were better - I think it is more like the Europeans were more opportunistic. The African Moors invented the guns and the Asians invented the gun powder - Europe took those inventions - went to other countries and acted like they were friends with them, ate Thanks giving dinner with them and came back and murdered them up. They just had more advanced weapons which they did not create. Europeans are the only people who traveled by ship to other continents with the goal of taking their s***. Everyone invited them in as friends when they had evil intentions the whole time. I am not saying Europeans are evil. But the Elite of Europe were all about greed. Just like the elite in all countries.

Yes - the greed of Europe and the Middle East is the main reason Africa is now in shambles! And if you were taught about Africa they way we should be, you would know this. The whole world owes its existence to the African Continent!


Most Indians were originally Asian and came over on the landbridge on the Bering Straits. They were living somewhere else once, too.

That is a theory - not a fact - and I would agree with that - but there were others here as well - have you ever read about the Olmecs (http://www.raceandhistory.com/historicalviews/04022002.htm)- The don't teach us about them in history - there is more info on others who were already here before Columbus arrived here (http://www.rense.com/general43/before.htm)

There are also theories that the Celts were here long before Columbus - my point is there are many theories and there is a plethora of information on the Internet about it so I would be careful and do some research before before you just run with one theory.


Indians murdered the Euros just like the Euros murdered them. Had the tribes joined together they might have had a chance to throw them out or at least defeat them. But that didn't happen. Now I still have a brain and realize the US is probably much more advanced today because of colonization than if it was left to the Mexicans and Indians (see Mexico).

Are you serious - when did Native American travel to Europe and murder them up? If Native Americans murdered a European who tried to take his land then it was justified. Just like someone breaking into your house and trying to rob you of your belongings.

I know you have a brain and you seem to be intelligent but you are trapped in a ethnocentric box of a limited history that you have been thought because someone wanted you to believe that way and are now taking it as "word is bond" - you may want to step outside of that box and open your eyes up to the truths history has to offer.

The Euro Americans are responsible for slavery and the Africans bear no responsibilty for it even though most slaves ancestors sold them into slavery.

Regardless of what ever name they are called the fact is that they were in the Americas before Europeans got here and they were all the same people rather you want to call them Mexican, Indian, Eskimo, whatever. Just like they Identify me as African, whites as European, yellow as Asians, ect... They were all the same people with different cultures. So "Mexicans" will never believe that someone who came to this country after them is more justified to be here than them. You can feel how ever you want but that will not change how they feel. They believe this to be more their country than any European or African or Asian or whatever. And if Asians took over Europe and drew lines telling the Europeans that have been there for 1000's years they can no longer cross a line - Europeans would feel the same way!

I am not making any excuses for anything - I am telling you that Africa would be much better off without colonization of Europeans and Arabs!

Well the anthropology course was 40 years ago but I still haven't heard a better "theory" regarding American Indians.

Do you not live in OK? The pharmacist story has been big news for the last 2years.

I thought there were revolutions happening in Africa right now. Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, etc...Not sure if they are for the better but they are happening.

So do you identify (classify) yourself as Black given your mixed ancestory?

I admire the pursuit of knowledge and open mindedness when discussing topics. We may have more in common than you think.

I would jump back to the original topic...illegal immigration. Are you for open borders?


Yea, I just put 2 and 2 together - He came back and shot the unarmed kid 5 more times - that was pretty wild, but he did not deserve life in prison but he should of got a few years. The person with the gun was gone - he did not have to shoot the kid 5 more times. He had already shot the kid in the head.

I have no choice to Identify myself with being black because that is what I am perceived to be. All blacks in America are mixed with everything but when I fill out an application I check Afro American because that is what I am expected to choose. I do not have time to be rebelous when I am trying to get a job. Remember when Tiger Woods said he was Coupelasian or something like that - people thought he was a damn fool. The only time I have herd someone want to say a black person was half something else was President Obama - But all half white half black people I know are considered Afro American.

I think they need to give them Amnesty, and start taxing them like everyone else. No one will be able to stop them from getting over here. You can build walls stand at the border with guns, or whatever - you are not going to stop them. Americas drug appetite will assure that they get in if they do not open the borders. I truly think that whites are just afraid of becoming a minority in this country. They say it was going to happen anyway by 2050 but the way they keep coming over here - that may be 2015 and I think that is scaring people to death. But no one will be able to stop it. When I hear those tea party people say "Take Our Country Back" I think that is exactly what they mean. They are so accustomed to this being a white mans country that they can not bare to see what is about to take place in the next 50 years. No president tries to stop it. Like I said earlier - they seem to already have a plan in place regardless of how mad the citizens get. Like I said, no one is talking about the Amero and that seems like it is going to change everything. So yes I think they should open the borders up and start taxing the heII out of them just like they do everyone else.

And you come here....why?

You don't see me here that often - not like you at least. Unless it is the football season. Or to check up on the Wrestling team - but I have inside info on the wrestling team since that is my surroundings. I came here yesterday to see if anyone had anything to say about the Gunner kid and any other recruits that may have committed. Then I always come over to the South Oval to see if there is any discussions that may intrigue me. As you know - I like to build!

Mexico is a multi-ethnic country. Those people who make claims to being longer here than the Europeans, have themselves European blood. The indigenous Mexicans who do not speak Spanish, are a minority in Mexico and often looked down upon.

The problem with amnesty is that once they are citizens their taxes will never begin to offset their economic drain on our infrastructure.

Did you know that the US had an immigration law from 1921-1965 that greatly restricted europeans from immigrating to the US? And that law excluded latinos from immigration restrictions. The whole point of the law was that we were getting flooded with Euros and the policy helped stem the tide. And these were much more skilled and highly educated immigrants than the illegal variety we are getting now.


Similar legislation had been proposed several times before without success. The resumption of immigration and the widespread unemployment that followed the end of World War I lent strength to the anti-immigration movement.

The act was passed without a recorded vote in the U.S. House of Representatives and by a vote of 78-1 in the U.S. Senate. James Alexander Reed, a Democrat from Missouri, cast the sole dissenting vote.[4]

The Act restricted the number of immigrants admitted from any country annually to 3% of the number of residents from that same country living in the United States as of the U.S. Census of 1910. The use of such a National Origins Formula continued until 1965.

The average annual inflow of immigrants prior to 1921 was 175,983 from Northern and Western Europe, and 685,531 from other countries, principally Southern and Eastern Europe. In 1921, immigration was 198,082 from Northern and Western Europe, and 158,367 from principally Southern and Eastern Europe (including other countries), being shown as a drastic reduction in immigration levels from other countries, principally Southern and Eastern Europe.

Professionals were to be admitted without regard to their country of origin. The Act set no limits on immigration from Latin America.

The Act was soon revised by the Immigration Act of 1924.



And, unfortunately, the illegals have by far the highest birthrates in this country so the burden on the infrastructure is compounded.

I am for a smaller US & world population. That is the way to save our resources and reduce pollution. It really isn't hard to do if you can just get couples to have 2 kids or less. The world is headed for 9 billion people in the next 15 years (currently 6.5 billion). 1 billion would be much better. A US population of 150,000,000 would be much better than 400,000,000.
