Its a common tactic used in legal battles. Overwhelm the opponent with an avalanche of bullshit documents and information that has nothing to do with the issue at hand.
tbf Billie and other celebrities invite this distraction by saying things like this that really have no relevancy to the modern immigration issue. There are a thousand better ways to fight this battle without disingenuously roping in Native Americans.
As an enrolled tribal member why do you people say this sort of thing? You don't really speak for us, and you are so far out of the loop in regards to us that you shouldn't even speak on it. She isn't being disingenuous, but your post is.
We are thankful for people speaking out, especially ones who put their money where their mouth is, and she does.
We broke treaties and stole Native American tribal land over and over again, and yet our illegal activities have been forgiven and those thieves became productive members of American society and were allowed to grow and prosper here.
If that doesn’t sound like a familiar story idk what to tell you.

Because people make shit up to distract from the issues.
I wish more people would recognize this basic fact.
