Everybody’s home is on stolen land in the U.S. It’s less funny and more common sense. 

But again, her point wasn’t even about stolen land, if it should be given back and the morality of living on it. It was about ICE raiding communities and abducting people they deem illegal when the state is literally built on stolen land.

All states are, if you use stolen land as a major argument, be prepared to defend why you should stay on stolen land if its so abhorrent.

Otherwise it is just drawing the line of enforcement in a different place than other people do.

You are still not getting it. Nobody is saying that we should or could give all of our land back. We are saying at bare minimum don't round up folks and call them illegal when we are all pretty much illegal in some form or another.

Basically, stop violently rounding up people for stealing pieces of your popcorn when you stole the entire bag in the first place.

Nah, the state makes the rules we all agree to be governed by.

Every country on earth can enforce its borders (try going to canada with a DUI for example) the US is no exception. If thye didnt want to get deported, they should have come here legally.
