Then just wall off the reservation.

Then just wall off the reservation.

I read that 78% of native Americans don't live in the reservations. Maybe it's time for Native Americans to join the rest of the nation. Only 22% are taking all of those grant funds.

Who's to even say what a native american is? All these special programs for special ethnic groups must end.

Trump should tell them "no wall - no welfare".

nov 15 2016 Tribal leadership of Tohono O’odham Nation in southern Arizona said they won’t support a border wall project on their land. Part of their reservation extends into Mexico and covers 75 miles of the international border.

The tribe’s chairman and vice chair said the plan was always to try to work with whoever holds the office of the United States President. But, they added, it’s still too early to tell exactly how Donald Trump’s administration will impact the tribe.

Vice Chairman Verlon Jose explained tribal members have traversed their ancestral land since time immemorial, and a wall of any sort would not be supported by the community.

“Over my dead body will a wall be built,” Jose said, describing some community members’ sentiments. “I don’t wish to die but I do wish to work together with people so we can truly protect the homeland of this place they call the United States of America. Not only for our people but for the American people.”

Too bad. Federal government dictates what tribes can and cannot do.

Yup - as long as the govt uses the tax dollars of us white people to feed and house the injuns, the damn savages don't have much right to demand anything.

Injuns are bigger losers than even blacks. At least blacks can play sports.
