Ping!
Obama can go to hell!!
Cut off all benefits and jail any employer that hires one and we can get rid of them!

Let him say things like that.
He's admitting that these "groups" are, in fact, separate nations.
If it's not enough to be covered by the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, if they need their own set of laws, separate treatment based on race and ethnicity, then that is the best definition of a "nation" that I can think of.
So they should be severed from the Americans politically, as the aboriginal tribes were in the 19th century. Whether they get any land out of the deal remains to be discussed...but they should no longer be a part of our political society, as they admit now to being alienated from it.
