I'm waiting for some Native Americans to be harassed, and see if there's any discussion about illegal immigration The Navajo Nation is not to be trifled with.

To quote Smoke Signals:

Velma: You guys got your passports?
Thomas Builds-the-Fire: Passports?
Velma: Yeah, you're leavin' the rez and goin' into a whole different country, cousin.
Thomas Builds-the-Fire: But... but, it's the United States.
Lucy: Damn right it is! That's as foreign as it gets. Hope you two have your vaccinations.
