The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, an organization of 20 Native American tribes, approved its own de-immigration law Monday that could result in the forced evictions of anyone who is not Native American or a person of color from the state.
Council Chief Dan Brown said the move is in response to a new state law, set to go into effect Thursday, that requires police to detain people whom they suspect are in the country illegally and to ask for their proof of citizenship or immigration papers.
“Frankly, we get really irritated every time we hear all these white folks complain about immigration. How they can do that without any sense of irony is beyond me. Seriously, the only ones who have a right to complain about immigration is us,” Brown said. “We were here long before any of them came in and stole everything.”
Native tribes exist in something of a gray area. Legally, the tribes themselves are treated as individual nations while their members are also U.S. citizens and are subject to American laws. Brown said the tribes would rely on long-standing treaties, some which had been ignored for centuries, to make their case.
“The other day some white guy called me a ‘wetback’ and said I should get out of ‘his’ country. That piece of trash doesn’t know what he’s talking about, this is OUR country,” Brown said. “Our people have really put up with a lot over the years, from being treated like cattle and having our lands stolen to being misrepresented in movies and popular culture. This new law was the last straw. It’s payback time.”
If it stands up to constitutional scrutiny, the tribal law would allow any Native American to question the legal status and heritage of anyone in Arizona if they suspect them to be non-native. Tourists would be exempt but anyone claiming Arizona citizenship would have to submit to DNA testing to prove they’re of Native descent.
Those found to be violating the law would have 30 days to vacate their property and move out of the state, although people of Latin American descent would be given immunity and allowed to stay. English would no longer be the state’s official tongue, as it would be replaced by a collection of Native languages that are still spoken in the state.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer scoffed at the notion of a tribal law having jurisdiction over the entire state. She indicated that her ancestors dealt with “the native problem” decades ago and the legal notion of “finders keepers” would allow whites to remain in control.
“Look, I keep telling people. This new law isn’t racist because we said it wasn’t racist,” Brewer said. “See? That means it’s not racist, because I said so. Now, how will the police judge whether someone is illegal or not? Hell, I don’t know, they’ll probably target all the Mexicans.”
Marcus Manfred is an enigma. A simple and complex man who was raised by wolves in the lower upper part of the eastern west. He is more than you think and less than you know. He is the solution to every question you have ever asked, as long as the answer is three. 
You’re right! I asked Swami Manfred how many gallons of paint to paint the bedroom and the number was 3. We love Marcus.
