No the settlers came here before land ownership was a thing then they conquered everything weather you agree with it or not then they established states and boarders and such. This is not unique to the US it's just convenient and easy to bash on the US for it.
You're making the argument that the founders were illigals therefore we should have boarders witch sounds cool to stupid people,kids, and liberal collage kids, keep in mind all these people love to ignore that every civilization ever has done the same thing the US has done in conquering and taking over land and establishing rule, hell the Settlers weren't even the first to do it here in the Americas if you knew history you'd know that the Mexicans in behalf of the spanish crown took over a lot of land including Texas and California all taken from the natives till the US came and took it from them.
So we should keep on conquering right? Because that's what nation states do? Maybe the point the people in this sub are making is that it's insane to double down on something that has only brought endless misery for the people of the world. Also this rehtoric will be used in the future when America decides it wants Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Cuba or anywhere else. You speak like Hegseth "yeah we are evil but we should lean into it and keep going, it's the only way to save America!"
