maybe our ancestors didn't have the right to do what they did.
Again all I am asking is what do you feel that means right NOW. What should we do? Because they were greedy and took over this land we should do what? give it back? surrender? what?
Its like you are saying we owe a decent life and employment to anyone in the world who wants to live here because of some injustice from years ago. I don't get your point because you said we need to have control, but how do you begin to take control of anything when the border is wide open.
