On Friday, in Geneva, Mexico signaled alarm at the treatment of its large Mexican minority in the United States, comparing American actions to prevent the use of Spanish to attempts in Ukraine and Estonia to prevent the use of Russian.
While Mexicos foreign policy has been generally benign toward the United States since hostilities in the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, the Latin-American country has been keeping a close eye on developing events in Ukraines Crimea peninsula.
Russia has maintained that annexation of the Crimea peninsula is justified because it has the right to protect Russian speakers outside of Russias borders.
Mexican political leaders have taken note, perhaps sensing an opportunity to gain long-lost territory and increase the size of its economy by expanding northward into areas currently administered by the United States.
Mexico has begun enthusiastically supporting protections for linguistic minorities, a Mexico City diplomat told the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Language must not be used to segregate and isolate groups, the diplomat said, according to details provided to The Daily Caller by the U.N. Mexico has officially expressed concern about steps taken in this regard by belligerent elements in the United States.
As an example, the Mexico City envoy mentioned a Texas middle school principals attempt to ban the use of Spanish in classrooms.

difference is Russia can kick ass while the Mexican army is corrupt and incapable of even dealing with drug lords.
Unfortunately, our “leaders” are 1/100th the men that Americans were in the 1840s.
“Satire”
...for now.
So if we give Mexico all of SoCal, except for Orange County, does that turn California “red” again?
Might be worth it.
You think it’s satire? LOL.
Sadly not The Onion....
Good luck retaking Texas...
2nd/3rd Generation Americans of Mexican decent along with quite a few recent arrivals have NO DESIRE to be reunited with that cesspool south of the Rio Grande.
Now if these folks would quirt voting for the Democrats...

No, the difference is Russia has nukes. Putin has a pansy army running around with no insignia and wearing masks. Like any bully they like beating up the neighborhood weaklings.
I have been wondering if they would do this.
Yeah, given that the article is marked “satire” at the top...
The Mexican Army
Why assimilation - melting pot, not “salad” - is a necessity.
Me and my big mouth.
I hate satire anymore. I’m afraid that it gives the democrats ideas. Lol
Yup, I called this one too.
But you forget that in the 1840’s we had a homogeneous society and now we have a homo society.
Today we pride ourselves in our diversity and our congress critters feel the need to satisfy every aspect of it and exclude none.
Come and take it!
Maybe we need a do-over.
I would say that is a misleading statement, considering the current situation with Mexico and the LaRaza/MEChA Reconquista efforts.
