Putting it in perspective

At a rally of anti-immigration protesters in Arizona, a Native American man lent some perspective.   Yelling at them and their signs, he said:

"You're all illegal.  We didn't invite none of you here.  We're the only Native Americans here."

Yes, and didn't President Obama say the same thing in his inaugural address, when speaking of needed immigration reform?

"Unless you’re one of the first Americans, Native Americans, you came from somewhere else – somebody brought you."

Why doesn't that sink in?
