Well, the same applies to the late-coming immigrants of Argentina, who all came from Europe, 1000's of miles away, to plunder the country - the Spanish planted their flag in the 16th century .....

Later, the Conquest of the Desert was a military campaign in the 1870s with the intent to establish Argentine dominance over Patagonia, which was inhabited by indigenous peoples. Under General Roca, the so-called Conquest of the Desert extended Argentine power into Patagonia. European settlers turned the conquered lands into a breadbasket which made Argentina an agricultural superpower in the early 20th century. The Conquest is commemorated on the 100 peso bill in Argentina .....

So the Agentianians should give Patagonian land back to the indigenous peoples .....
