Wednesday night on The O’Reilly Factor, Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, broke a series of previously unreleased US Department of Agriculture Videos featuring required “Cultural Sensitivity Training.” The program required employees to chant, “The pilgrims were illegal aliens,” never to use the word “minorities” and to replace it instead with “emerging majorities,” and other similarly leftist tripe.
The sensitivity training sessions taped here were held on USDA premises, and is part of what Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack termed the department’s “new era of Civil Rights” and “broader effort towards cultural transformation at USDA.” The training sessions were created by diversity awareness trainer Samuel Betances at a cost of approximately $200,000.
The video highlights include:
Betances explaining to USDA employees that “If you take a look at all of you here and you think about your salaries and your benefits and what you have left undone – plus my fee – plus the expense of the team that putting the video together, this is a huge expense.”

Old Unitarians have too much time on their hands...
Leftys are so stupid, at that time there were no laws against it ergo, they couldn’t be illegals...
Where did the indians have it written down. They hadn’t even invented the wheel when others landed on the shores. Being tribal, they killed each other just like the arabs and african tribes do..Without the great satan, the arabs and muslims would be killing each other, just as they do today, but for religious reasons
America needs more whistleblowers.
That’s missing the point. Regardless of any “legalities”, if you look at the Pilgrims akin to criminal alien invaders (my referred description of “illegal immigrants”), it should indeed be a cautionary tale.
The natives failed (either through lack of foresight, will, or strength) to control the influx of European settlers, which eventually led to the settlers taking over their lands and essentially leaving three options to the remaining natives: 1) die in a futile attempt to fight the invaders, 2) adopt the invaders’ language, culture, and laws to fit into the invaders’ society, or 3) keep their own language, culture, and laws, but be herded into “reservations” bequeathed them by their conquerors.
What makes the current invasion from (primarily) our southern border any different? We have invaders who are coming to colonize, with no attempt to adapt to our culture, but rather to bring theirs with them and impose it on the areas they being to control. (Many Muslims do the same, though I think more often through the legal immigration channels.) We certainly have the foresight (laws) and ability/strength to deal with the problem, but as a culture, we lack the will to do so. The net result will be the same, though, given enough time — the invaders will reach critical mass and replace American culture with their own, leaving fight, adapt, or segregation as the only options.
I did not propose the Native Americans have central government as you state, but they lived the land and had only the claim on the land they could keep by force.... I think you and I may agree on several points,
The Wampanoag Indians made a treaty with the pilgrims and sold them land, so no, they were not illegal aliens.
