A bunch of squatters wants to kick the foreigners out of Arizona?

Native Americans have inhabited what is now Arizona for thousands of years. It remains a state with one of the largest percentages of Native Americans in the United States of America, and has the second largest total Native American population of any state. In addition, the majority of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American reservation in the US, and the entire Tohono O'odham Nation, the second largest, are located in Arizona. Over a quarter of the area of the state is reservation land.

Twenty tribes are members of the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona.

The arrogance is astounding, the irony is obvious.

I never cease to be amazed at the creativity of the human race!

2. No irony. They just mean "whites only", but are too chickenshit to say it.

It's cowardice, not irony.

3. Where did they say that they want foreigners out?

[EFerrari]

5. They've been saying it forever.

[tekisui]

6. You mean they are trying to force citizens out?

[amerikat]

8. What is your point?(nt)

[virgogal]

10. I have no point. I went to the link and could find no information

that explained the OP.

Just a simple question,that's all.

[amerikat]

12. I get your point.

I was just raising a question, making a statement about the situation in Arizona.

11. I wonder if the Native Americans can demand papers from any white on the Rez?

I mean, we're *all* here illegally from their point of view. It would be delicious irony if the tribal cops would pull over any white person (including tourists) and ask for their papers. Especially the ones around the Grand Canyon and Sedona areas, where they get LOTS of tourists.

13. That would be sweet!

It is a sovereign nation after all.

16. Let's toss this into the mix

That the Mexica, aka Aztecs, orginally came from an area that includes modern Utah, Colorado, and Arizona...or that we just stole Arizona from Mexico.

18. Good point. In fact, I would say squatters among squatters.

Arizona was the land of several Native American tribes, than later part of Mexico.

So, if you asks me (which you probably doesn't) Arizona anglos are the illegalist of various illegals there now (meaning everyone except the Native Americans, basically). If people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, than redneck assholes in Arizona should probably shut the fuck up.

"...The expedition of Spanish explorer Coronado entered the area in 1540–42 during its search for Cíbola. Society of Jesus Father Kino developed a chain of missions and taught the Indians Christianity in Pimería Alta (now southern Arizona and northern Sonora) in the 1690s and early 1700s. Spain founded presidios (fortified towns) at Tubac in 1752 and Tucson in 1775. When Mexico achieved its independence from Spain in 1821, what is now Arizona became part of the Mexican Territory Nueva California, also known as Alta California.<15> In the Mexican–American War (1847), the U.S. occupied Mexico City and forced the newly founded Mexican Republic to give up its northern territories, including what later became Arizona. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) specified that the sum of $15 million US dollars in compensation (equivalent to about $376 million in present day terms<16>) be paid to the newly formed Republic of Mexico.<17> In 1853 the land below the Gila River was acquired from Mexico in the Gadsden Purchase..."
