Tohono O'Odham Nation says no to Trump wall

And many sovereign First Peoples nations have the law on their side to say no to the Wall.

AZ Indian Tribe That Controls 75 Miles of Border Won’t Allow TRUMP WALL on their Land (VIDEO)

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.”

Eminent domain, which Trump is a uge fan of, says otherwise.

Their land, lol

 

[martybegan]

Then make the Tribe responsible for controlling its own borders, and build the wall around it.

Interesting problem. I wonder if the Native American tribes worry about Mexican drug cartels selling drugs and firewater to their kids.

I suspect Standing Rock will look like nothing compared to Trump trying to steal these people's land to build his ugly wall.

Nope, their land. Can't eminent domain it at all.

If it's considered private property, uncle sure can.

You really don't understand. It is the Nation's property protected by treaty agreement. This is something that Trump can't renegotiate.

Beautiful. Fucking beautiful. This land mass' original inhabitants were right about this disease all along; this perceptual reality and view of the universe euros infected this hemisphere with wherein all life and humanity is nothing more than a commodity to be monetized and exploited.

Still, the US has no problem breaking their own law and treaties. Quite a history of that.

Take a detour around their land building the wall so that the tribal lands are south of the wall

That is the future, the elites will build walls around their own compounds to protect them from the masses and the decline of the american empire as they continue to redistribute and concentrate societal wealth.

Then we do what we should have done a century ago...... take the conquered land from these people and give them the option to ASSIMILATE or DIE.

Think this will make a difference?

BTW, Trump gets to choose 100+ lower court judges whenever he gets around to it.

It would cost a little more, but if they prefer the wall can be built on US soil around their land. Since Mexico will be paying for the wall, cost is not a problem. They would just have to show ID if they wanted to leave their land and enter the US.

The US does not have eminent domain over Indian land.

The US Cavalry conquered them once. The modern cavalry will do it faster and far more fatally.
