MAGAs always argue that the Europeans were not invaders and the Native Americans did not have immigration laws, thus it is okay that tens of millions of Americans were murdered so Europeans could find a place to call home.
Well, indeed, they did not have immigration laws, but they did have boundaries for where their land began and ended.
The Europeans first settled in the early 1600s, and the final battle with Native Americans occurred in 1918, over 300 years of fighting for their lands. I would say it was an unwritten law that said, “This is our land, and you are not welcome.”
The Battle of Bear Valley was a small engagement fought in 1918 between a band of Yaquis and a detachment of United States Army soldiers. On January 9, 1918, elements of the American 10th Cavalry Regiment of Buffalo Soldiers detected about thirty armed Yaquis in Bear Valley, west of Nogales, Arizona, a large area that was commonly used as a passage across the international border with Mexico. A short firefight ensued, which resulted in the death of the Yaqui commander and the capture of nine others. Though the conflict was merely a skirmish, it was the last time the United States Army and Native Americans engaged in combat and thus has been seen as the final official battle of the American Indian Wars.
FYI, Most Mexicans and Central Americans are like me with at least 1/3 Native American DNA.
