These idiots need to study history. They weren’t here first either.
What is now the US never really was Mexico. It belonged to the Native Americans, then the Spanish pushed them out of the southern US. Eventually, the Spanish left and the Mixicans filled the void for about 20-30 years. Then they attacked the Alamo which started a war. The US army pushed the Mexicans back all the way to Mexico City. We even flew the Americna flag there. Then we signed a truce with Mexico, paid them 30 million dollars for the south US and gave them the Mexican territory back that we had just captured.
Here is a quote from Geronimo’s autobiography:
“I have killed many Mexicans; I do not know how many, for frequently I did not count them. Some of them were not worth counting. It has been a long time since then, but still I have no love for the Mexicans. With me they were always treacherous and malicious.”
- Geronimo, My Life: The Autobiography of Geronimo, 1905
Lived in México for 10 years - Chihuahua to be exact. Home to many of Geronimo’s raids.
The only ones who talk nice about him are either commie liberals who’ve been indoctrinated or plain old “Mexican Indians”.
What most American liberal idiots don’t know or understand is that White Mexicans of European decent were 100 times worse than Custer at Washita or Chivington at Sand Creek.
During the time Mexico “filled the void” they were in such chaos and had such a weak government there was no way they could support the Spanish settlements in what is now the Southwest U.S. which is what led to this part of the country becoming part of the U.S. without much fuss after the war. Mexico could not even get supplies to the Spanish settlements which is what led to the success of the Santa Fe trail.
It is a huge joke that Mexico would have any claim whatsoever on the Southwest.
Speaking of idiots that need to study history, my liberal neighbor when she first moved here claimed she could see why the Mexicans claimed the Southwest since they built the missions, founded settlements, claimed they founded Santa Fe! I told her not the Mexicans, the Spanish did that, the only Mexicans involved came with them as Spanish labor/slaves.
My neighbor was going to argue with me...I told her yes Spaniards...from Spain...you know Spain in Europe, that Spain. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights and fled. The woman is a retired pharmacist, thought herself to be highly educated.
