Indians to Illegals

History
"What comes around, goes around." "You will reap what you sow."
I've been pondering both the history and future of our country, and I cannot help but wonder if we are reaping what we've sown. I'm not talking about how our Declaration and Constitution were created by God-fearing men who believed that the Bible should be the moral compass of our country's framework.
Before that, how did our country get started? Foreigners traveled across the sea to discover a new world and ended up here. They liked it so well that eventually, the "white man" overtook the American Indians who already inhabited this land. The Indians were relegated to their reservations and small parts of land. One could say we "invaded" their lands. The Trail of Tears comes to mind. In our ("white man") effort to create a God-fearing nation, we conquered and overtook those who already lived here.
Now, we have illegal immigrants flooding over our borders, eating our food and using our healthcare system for free, apparently overtaking our lands. They want to establish their cultures and holidays as a norm here. They want others around them to validate their existence in our land by making their language a national language. There seems to be no end to what they want.
This to me looks surprisingly similar to what we did to the Indians hundreds of years ago.
We claim we have a right to this country because we founded it on God's word and His principles. But did we really have that right to begin with? Could there have been a better way to live with the Indians instead of basically destroying them?

Ironic but not just

On the other hand, it is ironic, despite the lack of historical parallelism, that our culture is being replaced by that of savages (the lawless). Of course, none of today's Americans is responsible for atrocities committed against yesteryear's Indians--beyond ironic, it would be difficult to call this justice.
Hispanic or Muslim

Lord tarrying, it's a sure thing the U.S. will become a Third World country. The only question I have is which backward culture will win, La Raza or Muslim. I predict invaders from the south will cripple the nation economically (along with the collapse of the fiat dollar) and criminally. They'll force us to accept the supplantation of American culture, building upon and taking advantage of God-hating political correctness and leftism. The right having long since sold out to leftism, any cry of nationalism or freedom will be merely a whimper. The U.S. will be significantly weakened from within. Meanwhile, Islam will continue to grow, taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by La Raza (i.e., multiculturalism) and the ACLU. Through their greater evil, Muslims will eventually replace Hispanics as the ruling class, and shari'ah will be firmly established. America will have fallen from the most powerful nation, uniquely built by Christians, into a Third World hellhole, barely a footnote in history.
Why would all this happen? Why are we overrun with illegal aliens, a mass migration, presently? Why are our enemies using our own tolerance against us? Why is our government complicit in our de facto surrender? The answer to all is the same: we rejected God, and the American church is the most guilty of all!
Who's the culprit?
Consistent with a government education, there are a few crucial steps missing in this history. When Christian "white men" came to settle here (in what would become the 13 colonies), they bought their land from the natives, fair and above-board. No persecution or use of force. It wasn't until much later that white men began conquering--and most of that conquering was done at the behest or order of government (e.g., Trail of Tears). Such behavior was certainly not Christian.
It's true that history repeats itself. This present invasion, though, is not quite the same as the persecution against Indians. Then, the European conquerors represented a much greater force with the backing of governments. Now, the legal, American citizens are the greater force by far but are losing because the government is holding us back, refusing to let us defend our homeland. In truth, our government is aiding the foreign invasion, all but overtly surrendering!
One common element is this: government is the problem.
