Illegal Immigrants

I came across a bumper sticker on a car today that said, "The first illegal immigrants arrived in 1492." The more I think about this, the less it makes sense.

In fact the only perspective that kind of makes sense is if the driver is a Native American, and wants everyone else to leave.

However, I'm fairly certain that isn't the intended message.

Is the driver saying we should be more accepting to illegal immigrants because Columbus came here "illegally," and let all of them in by the masses? We all know how that turned out for the Native Americans...

Actually, Columbus was not an illegal immigrant, as there was no prevailing law that said he could not enter.

And somehow I don't think the driver is a white person advocating that everyone goes back to Europe.
