Likely not you either, so get over the guilt. WE didn't do anything wrong to those people 220 years ago & opening the border is not the way to try & make up for that anyway. Just stupid non-logic.  If you wanna do something to make up for the expansion of the west, blow your paycheck at an indian casino.
By no means do i condone what is taking place here....do i agree that our borders need to be secured...of course.....do i want taxes to continue to rise because the cost healthcare in this country continues to sky rocket and insurance policies go through the roof because we increasingly have to compensate for those who do not carry medical insurance and the likes, the majority of whom are illegal immigrants....HELL NO......
furthermore do i feel guilty about what happened 200+ years ago, absolutely not, not in the least bit, nor do i feel the need to oppress "whitey" because of things that happened in the past towards whatever race in whatever situation....
i just simply find it interesting that America is putting so much effort against one particular country,(yes i know immigration covers ALL immigrants, but lets face it here, there is no plan for fences on the northern border) to counter actions that mirror upon the exact situation on which this very country was founded...
do i want secure borders....hell yeah.....i think we should go underground, rather than build fences though.....dig a trench like 3 feet wide....fill it full of concrete and sensors to detect against digging.....then build a fence....my $.02
