A Native American Activist At A “vigil” Outside A Covington Diocese In Kentucky Tuesday Attacked National Borders As “white Supremacist Tools Of Oppression.”

“Let me tell you this: borders are a white supremacist tools of oppression, created by the invaders of this land. We did not have borders prior to colonization.”
“The Mexicans and Central Americans who are seeking asylum in this country are indigenous. Many of them speak their indigenous languages still.
