Understandable sentiments. I imagine we are all currently struggling with remnants of the US that culturally were nomadic and are now forced to live on land someone else decided they were required to. I've always had the response that in the US we've been trying to integrate older cultures into modern society. Those same cultures would not be so lucky a few hundred years ago or even in another country that has no qualms with ethnic cleansing. It is what it is now. We can try our best to be responsive and responsible to those 'under our care' so to speak. But in the end, the US is the land (made up of states, territories, etc) and the buck stops there now.
