    Well unless you’re a First Nations or American Indian tribe member you don’t have any more claim to the land than the Europeans who stole it from them.

      Hold up a sec: I think this sometimes gets overlooked, but a right to occupancy has to recognize being born somewhere or growing up there as an entitlement to continued residence.

      None of us have control over how our parents brought us into a specific location, or what atrocities our forebears committed. And every child has a right not to be deported, full stop.
