You know it makes a lot of sense to me that Homeland Security and/or the Border Patrol should hire unemployed Native Americans to guard the border. Granted they didn't do such a hot job of that back in 1492, but there are good reasons why they should be so employed.
One, they need jobs. Most of them are on the reservations with nothing to do. The ones who aren't on the reservations are filling up the ranks of the unemployed all over.
Two, there are lots of Indians who don't really look like Indians...look at me, a case in point (I don't want to work for Border Patrol.)
Three, they have a wonderful patriotism for this country. It was, after all, the property of Creator when the Indians had it. They didn't ever really own it, inasmuch as it was the Indians belief that only Creator could own the land.
Four, they are, after all, called Braves. Let the Warriors protect this country. They would be good at it. Many of the Native Americans are Veterans of the Armed Services. At every pow wow you attend you see many veterans among the dancers. There is a special dance just for the Veterans. The flags of the Veterans are a part of the procession.
