You know the econmoy is bad when...

[Sir Gawain]

When both of those countries flock back across the border as they make more back in their native country

Oh if ONLY that were true.. (the part about them going back across the borders, not the money thing).

In a way it is true, Imigration is down which is a good thing. They feel they are better off where they where and not in America.

My native buddy wants to know when the economy will be bad enough to have all the immigrants leave america.

The indigenous population have been asking that for a long time...

Yes please leave and go back to Europe, Central America, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia or any other place not listed we us natives or those who have native blood can have this place all to ourselves

Given present theory of human migration patterns that means there wouldn't be anyone left in America north or south since everyone here now migrated from somewhere else at some point in history.

One new theory
Instead, Stanford said today, Clovis points match up much closer with Solutrean style tools, which researchers date to about 19,000 years ago. This suggests that the American people making Clovis points made Solutrean points before that.

There's just one problem with this hypothesis—Solutrean toolmakers lived in France and Spain. Scientists know of no land-ice bridge that spanned that entire gap.

The lost hunting party

Stanford has an idea for how humans crossed the Atlantic, though—boats. Art from that era indicates that Solutrean populations in northern Spain were hunting marine animals, such as seals, walrus, and tuna.

They may have even made their way into the floating ice chunks that unite immense harp seal populations in Canada and Europe each year.

Hence the reason I said "us natives or those who have native blood can have this place all to ourselves"

There are  plenty of us with native blood, but those without native blood must leave. It would leave a great big huge quite place to live ). Native meaning anyone who came over in the time just before the vikings and all after it. As Native refers to those people here before the migration of Europeans.

Also there have been found remains and tools that predate Clovis and civilized man by many thousands of years in Central America. Where did he come from? Maybe the same place the Europeans came from before man migrated north from Africa

Why pick the Viking as a limit?  As I read the History of the seven great nations in the north east they cross over the mountains into the mid-Alantic area just a few years before the Dutch and English start to arrive forcing out or killing the people there before them. 

Best theory is that there wasn't a single magration of people into the Americas but dozens maybe hundred cover tens of thousands of years.  Any Time limit is going to be subjective depending on who you want to include and exclude.

My way of thinking anyone who was born here is of "native blood" since their blood has never been anywhere else.   I find it interesting that no matter how many thousands of years you go back you or in which country you talk about someone is always saying they are native and the others are foreigners.   Look at how the Japanese talk about "Koreans" who have lived in the northern islands for a thousand years as foreign, or how in certain parts of Spain or German they talk about how one family is native the other is foreign even though both families have lived in the same country for centuries.    I guess its just part of human nature.

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, though they come from the ends of the earth!

Shoes are repalced by reusing the soles, and a roll of duct tape...
