That is interesting. I knew some of them had been forced into Mexico at earlier dates. I once knew a guy whose grandparents "illegally immigrated" back to tribal lands in New Mexico that had been held by his ancestors for hundreds of years until the late 19th century. Though they settled a stones throw from their ancestral burial grounds, they were never U.S. citizens because the U.S. Army had herded their grandparents into Mexico two generations earlier. If I think of the name of the tribe I will post a link to their history. It is interesting reading.

It never ceases to amaze me the numerous and creative ways that the U.S. government found to screw American Natives. Imagine being driven off your own land and summarily declared an alien!

Do you have a link to the Depression era deportations info?
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
