Illegals Aliens ripped off,Thought they were buying American Indian membership

Amazing! These illegal aliens were paying $1500.00 to become members of an American Indian tribe! Except that the tribe is not real. Operation being run by a white man claiming to be attorney for fake tribe

2. Probably their mestizo heritage

they felt it as an entitlement.

Consider they have like have some native background that the whites have all but wiped off the continent in the native american genocide.

3. This is just a guess--

But it could have something to do with gaming casinos run by the tribe. Some tribes divvy up the profits from casinos to all members of the tribe.

6. wow, I want a piece of this action

'Day after day, desperate immigrants from South Florida and throughout America travel to a Tamarac storefront, believing they can live and work in the U.S. with free health care and pay no taxes at all.'

Free health care? no taxes. If that were true US citizens would be lining up to join this tribe.
