One argument you sometimes hear in the United States for allowing unrestricted unlimited illegal immigration is that white people (of course it only applies to white people, as always) are living in a "stolen land", land that they stole from the American native people.
This argument makes absolutely no sense. If the lands were illegally invaded and stolen by white people, how is bringing even more people illegally into the land solve that problem? How is the land being stolen a justification for it? Shouldn't it, in fact, be the exact opposite? In other words, shouldn't they oppose illegal immigration because it's not their land to make decisions about?
The sad thing is that even a few native Americans have been fooled and brainwashed into believing and repeating the argument. Obviously the left loves that because it's not just them presenting the argument. The argument gets a lot more weight behind it when it's a person of actual native American descent presenting it.
Of course they never stop to think how much sense it makes. If the "stolen land" narrative is to be taken seriously, they should be on the forefront of opposing even more illegal immigration into their lands!
"We know what it is for our lands to be invaded and forcefully taken by foreign nationals without our permission and against our laws. We were almost eradicated because of it. No more! Stop defacing our lands even more than they already are! It's our home land, our heritage! Bringing even more foreign nationals into our lands is not going to fix the situation, it's only going to make it worse!"
But the power of the far-leftist cult ideology is that it can convert people into it no matter how irrational and illogical it may be. Thus it's really sad to see the cognitive dissonance displayed by actual native Americans expressing the narrative of "it's our stolen home land, the land of our fathers, therefore we should bring as many illegal immigrants as possible into it", which makes zero sense.
