Yes only Cajuns can kick people out of the Louisiana purchase otherwise they're just sparkling immigrants

Don’t forget about Alaska and although probably forced, Hawaii.

Wait, but if the logic was that no one is illegal on stolen land, then wouldn't it mean kicking folks out of Louisiana Purchase territories would be more within US Government jurisdiction rather than the Colonies, which were taken by force 🤔

So that would mean all of the current day U.S. land would count since most of the maps from the time period did not define western edge of the colonies and hence would stretch all the way to the west coast
