since Native American lands and properties are soverign?

Question

wouldn't it be wise for them to enact immigration laws as well .. ?   Wouldn't it be grand if the Native Americans decided to deport all foriegn workers, including the Scotts, irish, germans, italians, etc.  

Shouldn't we keep in mind that in America we are all immigrants (for the most part) ?

our sovereign lands are still held in trust by the federal government and are subject to all federal laws and taxations.

Immigration Law is normally a responsibility of the federal government. Indian lands are considered federal trust laws and there is not a lot of "immigration" onto reservations anyway. It is a non-issue. And Tribal nations can bar certain individuals from coming on to their reservations if need be. Just ask the Havasupai about their stolen blood fiasco - they passed a tribal resolution that banned the  DNA "scientists" from the rez. And in other cases, individuals of non-Indian ancestry are married into Indian families...are you saying they should all be kicked off?

The only exception to this proposal for deportation would be the checkerboarded reservations. Sure, would be nice to clear off the rednecks from some of the white rez towns I can think of.
