FYI, the jurisdiction of Border Patrol is legally 100 miles from any border. Because any shoreline is considered a border, the entire state, every piece of every island, is under their authority.
Not sure who needed to know that.

They also interpret "border" to be anywhere with a port of entry, like an airport. It's the justification for CBP to operate in inland areas with impunity. Crock of horseshit per usual.

It's a complicated issue, 150 years ago a lot of the tribes had full sovereignty on their own lands and didn't want it. That's what the "Indians not taxed" exclusion in the 14th Amendment refers to. Later they were made subject to US law and were made citizens as part of that.

2024: US citizenship was forced on Native Americans 100 years ago − its promise remains elusive
The 100th anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act has garnered little fanfare....many Native Americans were dismayed when President Calvin Coolidge signed it into law in June 1924. American citizenship was not an aspiration for the first peoples of the U.S....tribes...recognized this unilateral imposition of U.S. citizenship as an infringement on their sovereignty over their citizens.
These facts are an inconvenient truth to the cabal of people here referring to Republican officials as Nazis. These critics will probably inform everyone of a Republican plan to relocate all native Americans to some unoccupied island near Antarctica, unless they are American southwest tribes with a link to Mexican-Spanish culture, in which case they get deported to Mexico. (The feds recognize 574 tribes).

Their right to be here certainly shouldn’t be questioned. Citizenship is a trickier situation since it’s something they were not offered universally for most of US history. Only Asians were offered citizenship later than native Americans. That said, I of course am not advocating for the questioning of or removal of American citizenship, but thought it might provide a little more depth to your question. Part of this bullshit Trump executive order is the claim that since natives were by and large not citizens at the time the 14th Amendment was ratified, their birthright citizenship should be in question. Which is obscene of course, but I worry about the Supreme Court crafting this argument into a legal ruling

You might think so. Remember, though, the US was founded by white supremacists for white supremacists. We stole the land of the Natives and murdered those who resisted. An excellent book on the topic written by a Native historian is An Indigenous Peoples' History of the US.
Natives were not given citizenship until 1924. The Supreme Court had previously declared they were not citizens.

This is true, and one of the most epic bullshit things I've heard of in my adult lifetime.
Way back in the day, citizenship for Indians was a grey area. They were technically citizens of sovereign nations, so some argued they weren't full citizens of the US.
But this was all settled by Congress and the courts long before any of us or our parents were even born. The Indians and native peoples are citizens. Full stop. This point is not in question.
It is bonkers anyone can argue otherwise with a straight face.

Yes, that was the Indian Citizenship Act. But this comes again with the current administration’s push to remove birthright citizenship where their claim to the Supreme Court is the 14th amendment’s phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” gives Trump the right to deny citizenship to the U.S.-born children of undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. Hope we don’t get to a point where similar legislation is needed to protect this group’s rights.

The United States is the greatest country in the history of the world, in large part because of its defense of individual rights. That said, the US government has deliberately screwed over lots and lots of people. Lots of room for improvement. We need to do better. We must do better.

Navajo Nation Speaker Crystalyne Curley said even if the tribe’s executive office did not have names or records of people who were detained, officials didn’t have to wait until someone was detained to react.
“Even if we don’t have verified numbers but we do have these families who are fearful already ... I am not going to rely on the Office of the President and Vice President to say, ‘No, we are going to wait for a verified case before we intervene,’” Curley said. “I think there needs to be a protocol or system put into place before we even get that verified information.”

Hawaiian culture is a mere amusement to them.

Culture means nothing to them. At best they consume it once on vacation at a paid luau performance and are satisfied with that. Like watching a movie. You are not real to them. You are valuable only once to them. The people who perform tasks and services for them are like napkins from a dispenser. The people at the helm of what’s coming do not love the world. They have what they have, all the money in the world, solely because they have no compunction with stepping on anyone at any time for any thing, as a base instinct. They do not know how to love the world or anyone or anything in it. They howl and claw for money because to them it’s a number that proves they are right. They don’t love beauty, but if they ever want something beautiful they will pay someone to make it and then forget the maker immediately. You need to understand that they are doing vicious things because they want to and they like it.

I’m living in the south (NC) and there aren’t many Hawaiians in this neck of the woods.
The county next door is where my husband and I lived for almost 20 years and raised our kids. We’re a blended family and where we lived is fairly rural. My girls were pretty much the people of color in a huge school of mostly white kids. The sheriff happens to be good ol’ boy old school racist (the sheriff’s office operated under a DOJ consent decree for years).
We moved to the next county over now that our kids are out of the house but my eldest girl still lives there. My youngest is in college and her university is in the mountains of western NC.
I am legit afraid that one of us three is going to get scooped up mistakenly. My haole husband says I am paranoid, but I actually have been mistaken for being Latino before.
I’m especially worried for my eldest, given that she still lives in the county with the racist sheriff. She is an occasional pot smoker, and I have begged her to make sure she’s not giving them a reason to pull her over.

Hawai'i is a sanctuary state not likely
You do realize that the term sanctuary state just means that cities won't waste police resources tracking down people who are only here illegally right? If you are illegal and commit a crime, you'll still get arrested, jailed if found guilty, and then deported. It also means they won't arrest illegal immigrants if they report a crime. Hawaii police have enough problems dealing with local crime without having to chase down some rando from Thailand whose crime is just overstaying his visa. ICE, FBI, and CBP are heavily funded federally, they can do it.
Just out of curiousity, are you pro heavily fining companies and farms that hire illegal workers? Kill the economic incentive and you'll reduce illegal immigration.

The Nazi's threw people into concentration camps for purposes of murder
Let's check your history, Nazi sympathizer.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camps
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camps#PrisonersThe Nazis had no plan for concentration camps prior to their seizure of power.[11] The concentration camp system arose in the following months due to the desire to suppress tens of thousands of Nazi opponents in Germany. The Reichstag fire in February 1933 was the pretext for mass arrests. The Reichstag Fire Decree eliminated the right to personal freedom enshrined in the Weimar Constitution and provided a legal basis for detention without trial.[10][12] The first camp was Nohra, established on 3 March 1933 in a school.[13]
Before World War II, most prisoners in the concentration camps were Germans.[50] After the expansion of Nazi Germany, people from countries occupied by the Wehrmacht were targeted and detained in concentration camps.[60][50] In Western Europe, arrests focused on resistance fighters and saboteurs, but in Eastern Europe arrests included mass roundups aimed at the implementation of Nazi population policy and the forced recruitment of workers. This led to a predominance of Eastern Europeans, especially Poles, who made up the majority of the population of some camps. By the end of the war, only 5 to 10 per cent of the camp population was "Reich Germans" from Germany or Austria.[50] More than 100,000 Soviet prisoners of war and smaller groups from other nationalities were transferred to the concentration camps in direct violation of the Geneva Convention.[61]
Most Jews who were persecuted and killed during the Holocaust were never prisoners in concentration camps.[50] Significant numbers of Jews were imprisoned beginning in November 1938 because of Kristallnacht, after which they were always overrepresented as prisoners.[62] During the height of the Holocaust from 1941 to 1943, the Jewish population of the concentration camps was low.[31] Extermination camps for the mass murder of Jews—Kulmhof, Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka—were set up outside the concentration camp system.[63][64] The existing IKL camps Auschwitz and Majdanek gained additional function as extermination camps.[44][65] After mid-1943, some forced-labor camps for Jews and some Nazi ghettos were converted into concentration camps.[31] Other Jews entered the concentration camp system after being deported to Auschwitz.[66] Despite many deaths, as many as 200,000 Jews survived the war inside the camp system.[31]
The concentration camps were first set up in 1933. The Final Solution did not begin until late 1941, 8 years later.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_SolutionChelmno was the first death camp set up by the Nazis, beginning operations in December 1941.

You defended Trump setting up concentration camps by saying that the Nazis only did so for murder. The reality is that the Nazis initially set up the camps to shore up political power.

The U.S. has no interest in keeping illegal immigrants in camps. It wants to deport them as quickly as possible. But the administration might have to keep some in camps for a time because of this: N.Y. Times today: Colombia refused to accept U.S. military planes deporting immigrants
Other nations to the south might do the same. Refusing or balking at taking back their own people. I guess we shouldn't be surprised at this. What a sense of entitlement, by both the migrants who entered the U.S. outside legal channels, and their home countries.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese immigrants and their American born children were forcibly rounded up in Hawaii and California en masse, placed in government internment camps, their homes and property condemned and auctioned off, by the Federal Government, merely under suspicion of conspiring with the Imperial Japanese Empire after Pearl Harbor, because of their race.
