That Sauer 'needs to think it through' is another sign of this administration's incompetency. I hope that the Supreme Court kicks their asses to the curb.
Why on God's green earth (if God exists) would an Indigenous Person not be automatically a US citizen? I get the issue if they are born in Canada but are members of a federally recognized tribe...but seriously people.
White Nationalists want to believe that they are ‘autochthonic’ to America. They want to believe they have special privileges and rights because the land itself birthed them.
The presence of indigenous Native Americans as the actual autochthones is a big wrench in that belief.
like the israelis they "believe" prosperity-gospel god gave them Murica as the Murican race is gods "chosen people". (it's batshit-crazy all the way down)
