People of the Americas are not immigrants - they are First Nations migrants

Letter to the editor published in Tulsa Times an Oklahoma newspaper

Central Americans descendants of Mayan, Inca tribes

• Jim Webb, Owasso

Donald Trump has wrongly authorized the use of of active duty military to meet the migrants — aka native Americans — at the US border.

Many of our elected officials of Native American heritage, including Congressman Markwayne Mullin, support this action. However, these families are native American peoples from Honduras and Guatamala, descendants of the Mayan and Inca cultures.

I am confused as to why the people of Oklahoma support a person and party who continue the vilification of native peoples in the Americas.
