An interesting comment. But how did the Caucasians get to be the
folks
running this country? Voted into power by a majority, perhaps?

Or simply stole the whole place and now you are belaboring someone
else who might be doing the same thing ;-)

England and France conquered North America while Spain and Portugal
were doing the same thing with more brutality in Central and South
America. Right from the start they disputed the borders between their
claims, the current issues aren't new or unusual. Disputes and
readjustments still linger from the Canadian Arctic to the Falklands.

Say, do you think it would be cheaper to drop those illegals in the
Everglades instead of deporting them? Call it "relocation".


But what about the Seminoles? They were dropped into the 'glades too.


They probably won't like it and will help feed the snakes spicy
morsels.

Back in the day, yes.

Nowadays? Possibly. OTOH, going from a subsidized urban
environment, to a subsistence not yet settled enough to be "rural"
environment, will have it own "sorting hat".

All the better for Texican bidnessmen wanting 'spensive boots.
It'll be a whole new ecology. Seminoles feeding illegals to the
snakes and gators, then collecting the hides, trading those to
cobblers who reciprocate with the Texans. It's a win for almost
everyone, the illegals don't count. (They're illegal!)

I didn't forget, just named the major contestants. Denmark still owns
(sorta) their New World colony, Greenland. Russia was smart enough to
cash out.

That is a little misleading as N. America wasn't completely conquered
until the late 19th, early 20th century. Long after England and France
has moved out of the picture. The last gasp in the U.S. "Indian Wars"
seems to have been sometime in 1924.

I believe that the Dutch bought their island. For round about $1,000
in modern money. Given the availability of trade goods in America at
the time it was probably viewed by the recipients as a fortune.

I assumed you knew that the European colonists in North and South

The sympathetic left-leaning media ignored the Sandinistas' more
recent abuse of and fight with the Miskito Indians.
