“Any family that’s been here for 500 years are called citizens. Highly unlikely they crossed into Mexico to give birth. “
The man is an idiot. He accepts the invader’s rationale without thought. The border changed well over a hundred years ago. Everyone who the “border crossed” has been dead a long time. If their decendents stayed here they are citizens now.
He certainly is a dumbass. First of all the families in NM before it was a U.S. territory, who weren't Indian, were Spaniards not Mexicans. There was no Mexico then. Secondly, no one is more prejudiced against illegal aliens from Mexico than the descendants of those Spanish Land Grant families. I know some of them. A lot of them are probably liberals and they will probably vote for him but Obama just made a fool of himself in their eyes.
Some of my people have been here since 1640.
What does that make us?
