Chief Tonawanda and Deputy Chief Running Bear said yesterday that the
time had come to review the matter of the illegals squatting on Native
American Indian Lands.
"This has been going on for too long," said
Tonawanda, "These illegals have now grown to 300 million, and their
number is increasing every year." Running Bear said that he believed
that the time is right for re-consideration of the matter, now that
many people are beginning to recognize the fact that illegals are a
problem for indigenous land owners.
We see that the Americans are
beginning to grumble about the 11 Million Mexicans that are here
illegally. They come across the border without asking anybody
permission and simply occupy the resources and take advantage of the
opportunities they find here.
But, what the Americans don't yet
recognize, is that they are all occupying the land illegally, land that
belongs to the true Americans, the Native American Indian Tribes. Now
we know that most Americans who call themselves Patriots don't yet
understand this important point. But, we intend to prove the matter to
them in their own court.
What we need first, is for them to establish their own policy towards
the Mexicans. That way, we can then use their own interpretation of the
laws they write to show them the inconsistency in their own system. You
know, many Americans point to this or that law that says they have a
right to be here.
But, those very laws were written by the initial
illegal occupiers, so they are all invalid. If a foreigner comes today
to the United States, and obtains citizenship here, then it is
discovered that he obtained that citizenship illegally, like
misrepresenting himself on his application, then the government has the
right to take away that citizenship and deport him. And it really
doesn't matter how long he's been here, he can still be deported.
Well, it's the same principle. If you obtain your rights illegally
then those rights are invalidated by the very illegal actions that
were used to claim those rights in the first place. If you're from a
foreign tribe, then being born on this land doesn't give you the right
to be here. That's not our Native law, that's a United States law
written down by the illegal occupiers. If you're not from an American
Indian Tribe, then you're here illegally and subject to deportation
just like all the Mexicans. It doesn't matter how many generations your
family has been here occupying the land illegally, it's still an
illegal occupation. You know the British occupied India for centuries.
Yet, the British born in India during that time were still British.
They were from a different tribe. A foreign tribe. And when the
occupation was over the tribe went back from where it came. The
Indians, out of their good hearts, accepted some of them to remain part
of the Indian society. But, the British did not leave until it was
shown to them that their own thoughts were inconsistent. They did not
know that what they were doing was wrong. They were simply ignorant.
Instead they believed that it was the East Indians who were ignorant.
The British really believed that they themselves were an advanced
humane society of good people and that the Indians were backwards and
primitive. It was not until the Amritsar Massacre, where the British
soldiers opened fire on an unarmed crowd of Indians, cutting down
hundreds of innocent people who were simply passively resisting British
occupation, that the Brits woke up to their own true nature.
Those back home in Britain could not accept that image of themselves.
They were not brutal murdering beasts and barbarians. They were a
decent cultured people with high moral and ethical values, people who
respected the law, life , and liberty. It gradually dawned on them that
the actions required to maintain their occupation were inconsistent
with their own ideals and ideas of themselves. That is why they left.
They wanted to be better people than they showed themselves to be at
that Massacre. They came into India ignorant, and left India when they
found wisdom. They woke up. They became enlightened. They finally
understood that the Indians were not ignorant after all. The Indians
only lacked knowledge of material things, because the whole society was
structured around the spiritual development of man, which deliberately
shuns the material. So, what they saw when they first arrived in India
was the outward appearance of things, the material possessions, the
strange social customs, the apparent extreme lack of a whole social,
cultural, and material structure they were accustomed to back home in
Britain that celebrated the material side of things. They could see
what was missing immediately, but they could not see what was there.
They could not see what was filling the void that was represented by
that obvious lack. They could not understand. They were ignorant. So,
they imposed their will on the nation, thinking of themselves better
than what they could see. They walked about the occupied land with
thoughts in their head that they were in the right. Eventually,
however, to maintain that occupation, they found themselves more and
more doing things that were inconsistent with those thoughts about
themselves. That paradox created the mental conflict that brought them
to enlightenment. They began to see what was wrong in their own
actions.
We see the same kind of development here in America. In order for the
first illegals to maintain their illegal occupation, they must confront
the second generation illegals who are doing the same things their own
forefathers did. So, by attacking the actions of the new illegals, they
effectively attack those actions of their own ancestors. But, if their
ancestors were wrong, and illegal, then the laws written by them are
invalid, and they have no basis to confront the Mexicans.
Only we, the Native American Indian Tribes, have the right to decide
who should stay and who should leave, if anybody is to have that right
to decide at all.
It is clear that Wakan Tanka, in his wisdom, allows these events, to
wake everybody up, and enable man to see himself more clearly. We look
forward to bringing our case to the Supreme Court. We claim the
American Indians are the only ones with the right to decide, and we
challenge the first illegals to show why they think they have that
right to decide the fate of the Mexicans today.
