Native American Council Offers Amnesty to 220 Million Undocumented Whites

A council of Native American leaders has offered partial amnesty to the estimated 220 million illegal white immigrants living in the United States. At a meeting of the Native Peoples Council (NPC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico yesterday, Native American leaders considered several proposals on the future of this continent's large, unauthorized European population. The elders ultimately decided to extend a pathway to citizenship for those without criminal backgrounds.

"We are prepared to offer White people the option of staying on this continent legally and applying for citizenship," explains Chief Wamsutta of the Wampanoag nation. "In return, they must pay any outstanding taxes and give back the land stolen from our ancestors. "Any white person with a criminal record, however, will be deported in the next 90 days back to their ancestral homeland. Rush Limbaugh will be going to Germany. Justin Bieber will depart for Canada. And the entire cast of Jersey Shore will be returning to Italy."

Sustained European colonization of North America began in the 16th and 17th centuries, when arrivals from France, Spain and England first established settlements on land that had hitherto been occupied by native peoples. Over the past 400 years immigrants from these countries and others throughout Europe have transformed the demography of the continent. Despite their numerical superiority, many scholars question the legality of the European settlement, as it was founded on a mixture of unauthorized immigration, war and genocide.


Progressive native groups welcomed the council's decision today as a step forward towards normalizing relations with the White community. However, many conservative Native Americans are upset about the plan, claiming that amnesty will only serve to reward lawbreakers. "Why can't we just deport all of the Whites back to Europe?" asks Ité Omáǧažu of the Lakota people, "They're just a drain on our economy anyway. They came over here to steal our resources because they're too lazy to develop their own back home.
"I can't believe we're just going to let them pay a fine. They should get to the back of the line like everybody else - behind the Mexicans."

Where are these 220 million illegal whites?

I'm not sure there's room enough for 220 million more folks here in America.

We don't even have jobs for those of us who are already here.

be bringing over with them. Why should the resources of real Americans go to support parasites that will just take and take and not give anything back? And what kind of horrible diseases might they be bringing over from Europe?

Most of their stories are clickbait masquerading as satire. Like James O'Keefe, Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, they label themselves as satirists or entertainers as a figleaf for simply making shit up. This is different. I actually thought it was a story from The Onion or Borowitz when I saw it.

Thank you Native American Council for this bold and compassionate gesture for my family and I. Now we won't have to always be looking over our shoulders to keep an eye out for those that would try to throw us out of America just because we don't look or act like them.

Does that include treaty-breaking, land-stealing, dealing in stolen goods, genocide, and Wall Street banking? I think a lot of us won't qualify.

No kidding! Friends from Mexico using self-deprecation jokingly called themselves 'wetbacks.'

I said, 'No way! My people were all wetbacks riding on those ships that came from Europe. You crossed the border by car! I'm the real wetback!'

Thank you all for allowing us to be here.

In addition to paying back taxes and giving back stolen land, do we have to learn the language of the 'natives' of the land we have immigrated to or can we continue to speak English, German, etc. - the language of the old country.

Should we have to learn and adopt the culture of our new country or can we continue to dress, pray, eat, farm, govern ourselves in the manner we brought with us when we arrived? The Native Peoples Council has a lot of issues to address with respect to white immigration.

A Native American tribe in South Dakota has called a congressional vote to approve the Keystone XL pipeline an “act of war” and vowed to close the reservation’s borders if the US government tries to install a pipeline there.

I am considering moving to Europe any way.
They are so far ahead of the US in many ways.

I visited the Netherlands back in October, and have done some research into the goings on there.
They have a much better public transportation system there, even though it is corporate owned.
They have a better healthcare system. People pay for insurance (about 100-150 euros/month) and get what they need. No co-pays for visits, hospitalization, or medications.
They only spend 1.36% of their GDP on defense.
Their police are less prolific than they are here, even though there are more of them per capita than in the US.
And that's only a few things.

Many say that they can do this because they are a small country. I say that we have not even tried anything like it here in the US.
The US is too concerned with protecting and defending the rich, and could care very little, if not at all, for the regular citizenry.

So even though I am 1/16 Native American, I would consider leaving this country if they insisted. I would also consider leaving if things get much worse here in the US.
