Just think of it as ‘redistribution of wealth to Mexico’. What a joke. This country’s last leg is buckling. Get ready for trouble.
Most people here don't realize that Santa Ana is illegal alien central and that Cavazos is an ethnic hire choice.
Jack Swilling was a Confederate and a Union Army soldier, a wild character with a shrewd business sense who saw the Salt River valley for what it could be, and that was in the 1870's.
All there was in the valley for the previous 370 years of Spanish territorial claim was...a few Pima tribal settelments.
The Spaniards, and later Mexicans, never did anything with that part of Arizona.
An enterprising Southerner did.
So Sr. Cavazos can go collect his Mordida in Santa Ana, and maybe have lots of little parades with him at the head, but his ethnicity had very little to do with making the Arizona desert the oasis it is now.
