Let’s get this straight: Europeans came to this land and killed as many Native American men, women and children as possible. We proclaimed their land our land. We forced their few remaining children into boarding schools where we physically and sexually abused them and sometimes outright killed them. When we did, we threw their little bodies into unmarked graves.

We have been enjoying and exploiting their land for hundreds for years. And now, no matter what horrors you are facing in your native country, we don’t want you here. Stay away. Our doors are closed. We won’t share. By the way, we are a God-fearing nation.
