"There should be a national day to celebrate the English conquest"

There is; some call it Columbus Day, in honor of some guy named Cristoforo Colombo.

Native Americans' Day is a public holiday in South Dakota and in Berkeley, California, instead of Columbus Day. Government offices are closed, as are many businesses and schools. Services such as police and fire departments, as well as emergency health services, may be available on this day.

"after the Asians invaded from the other side"

You mean the first inhabitants? Most people call that migration, not invasion. Do you perceive things from the perspective of woolly mammoths?

"Imagine if the Spanish had won"
i'd celebrate Cinco de Mayo instead of the 4th of July.

"They need to pay only a bit more than whatever somebody else is offering. Not "decent wages"."

Sorry, son, this is the USofA. That claptrap doesn't fly anymore. You gotta pay decent wages plus, if you want yer fruit harvested. Either that, or hire undocumented workers.
