It's not just land. Neighbors of Jews in Nazi Germany reported their neighbors, then looted their homes immediately after they were dragged away.
DHS literally posted "Want cheaper housing?" with a number to report your neighbors.
We did this in the Trail of Tears. We used weak people's desire for free land to get them turn on the Natives. That was the "Destiny" our nation made manifest.

This was exactly 2 days after Dawkins' "Muslima" comment mocking Ms. Watson for objecting to sexual harassment.
I'm not him but in retrospect it seems like the comment was motivated not by the raw cluelessness I'd assumed at the time, but by his desire to defend a beleaguered sexual harasser.
