Pro-unlimited immigration advocates, and especially those that want it to occur for the deliberate reason its turning whites into a minority, frequently try to equate mass non-white immigration today with (mostly) white colonialism in the past that made native peoples a minority. The argument seems to be that because Indians became a minority hundreds of years ago, that its morally justifiable today that whites become a minority because of contemporary mass immigration. At least that what I think they are implying (they don't usually clarify the exact point they are trying to make, but that's the impression I think they are getting at).
Yet, since when do two wrongs equal a right? How can the same people who promote guilt for the fact that Indians became a minority hundreds of years ago turn around and say its just for another ethnic majority to have the same thing happen to it today? If it was wrong hundreds of years ago, isn't it even more wrong today? Human rights standards should, if anything, be even more stringent today. Why haven't we learned from the immorality of Native Americans having become a minority and try to prevent a repeat of a similar situation today toward another ethnic majority?
Its a pretty clear question, and I would like to hear someone on TV question those who try to justify unlimited immigration with the Indian argument. How do two wrongs make a right? If it was wrong then, isn't it even more wrong now, considering we are supposedly more enlightened? Or is it ok to turn the current majority into a minority because of the color of their skin?
