This is the part where you state your flawed opinion. You cite only your opinion that the illegals send most of their money out of the country. You seem to fail to notice that they pay rents, pay taxes, buy food and so forth, all of which contribute to the u.s. economy
And here is where you tend to rewrite other people's posts to suit your own purpose. 10 - 12 in a house... paying one rent. The illegals i know send over half their paychecks home. I, personally, could care less how they spend it or where they live. But it doesnt support the argument that they spend their paychecks here.

Is it really your position that the constitution does not require that the congress and the president are elected by voters?
This isnt what you stated, or even asked. You stated the purpose of the constitution was votes. Now you are backpeddaling, as usual.
quote:
You are not complaning about some president's policy you are complaining about the constitution...There is a significant difference
Go back and read again. You are the one who, erroneously, brought in the Constitution. No one is complaining about that.
quote:
Would you like to show us just where you got that moronic idea?
You do not live on the reservation.
When you visit the reservation you are exempt in some instances from a very few and specific aspects...would you care to enumerate those?
Are you suggesting the new health law doesnt allow Native Americans to opt out of the mandate?
That the IRS doesnty provide certain, though limited, exemptions to the same group?
That some states allow tax exemption status to native americans under certain conditions?
And while your snarky comment
quote:
No...your heritage like mine is believed to begin in the olduvai gorge in africa.
This is incorrect.
quote:
In 1931, Leakey organised an expedition to the Gorge with Reck, and found stone tools within a few hours of arriving at the gorge.
In further excarvations, Leakey and his wife Mary found and described many stone tools and fossil animals, but found no significant hominid ("human-like") fossils until 1959, when Mary Leakey discovered the first skull of "Zinjanthropus".
Now renamed Australopithecus boisei, this creature had a massive skull with huge teeth that suggested a diet of coarse vegetable food, and lived 1.75 million years ago. In 1976 Mary Leakey discovered a fossil hominid and animal tracks at Laetoli, a site twice as ancient as anything at Olduvai.

All life began somewhere. I doubt it all began in exactly one spot. But you go with your belief. And when you have exact proof, then i will revist my belief that native americans are the indigenous people.
Indigenous peoples are people, communities, and nations who claim a historical continuity and cultural affinity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies which sprung up on their original territories, and therefore consider themselves distinct from societies of the majority culture/s that have contested their cultural sovereignty and self-determination.
Other related terms for indigenous peoples include aborigines ( æbəˈrɪdʒɪni (help·info)), aboriginal people, native people, first people, fourth world cultures and autochthonous.
Indigenous peoples of the American continents are broadly recognized as being those groups and their descendants who inhabited the region before the arrival of European colonizers and settlers (i.e., Pre-Columbian). Indigenous peoples who maintain, or seek to maintain, traditional ways of life are found from the high Arctic north to the southern extremities of Tierra del Fuego.

Now, when i said i am exempt, i meant native americans. [;)]
I look forward to seeing your argument.
