      Not comparable. „No one is illegal on stolen land“ implies that the measures taken in the US could be justified if it wasn’t a colony. „No one is illegal“ is a widespread pro-immigrant motto in Europe.
      „Black lives matter“ didn’t include anything to make the movement region-specific.

        I don’t agree, the context of where it’s said is important. Europe isn’t a colony and so that’s fine, but “no one is illegal” in the USA implies that colonizers are fine.
