During an appearance on CNN on Monday, former Univision anchor Maria Elena Salinas expressed her disapproval of the Trump administration for its handling of deportations in California.
While making her point, she told “NewsNight” viewers that California was once part of Mexico, adding that all of the Southwest was “Mexico.”

She needs to do a little research: The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Yeah, it was Mexico… for like a whole 30 years before the Mexican war.
I guess we’re finally finding out what Joe Pedo’s illegal alien invasion was all about. Mexico, America’s #1 enemy thought they could steal the Soutwestern U.S. states if they could fill it up with illegal alien invaders. And we thought they were just trying to expand their voting roles. Mexico was at war with the U.S. and we were too stupid to know it. Newsom needs to get his California squatters out of there and turn California over to the wetbacks.
Then Mexico is actually a part of Spain.
la reconquista de Aztlan
been in the works for decades.
California was part of Spain...countries were always making self-serving maps.
And Mexico was once part of France and also of Spain....
Could be.
But its not gonna win more votes for Dems, from any part of the mainstream.
Well, yeah. Until Mexico gave it to us so we would stop our war against them.

Well put and summarized.

Correct, and in fact the hard working Mexicans here legally or with permits are going to be against it too. They are already are.
laraza has been parroting this for years. Spoils of war. Been going on for centuries. Send the mexican army to retake the area you want.
What they REALLY mean is that the southwest belongs to Latinos (some combination of native/Spanish blood). Anglos took Texas by settling it in large numbers, and then the fight for Texan independence wasn’t difficult (the settlers largely lied, but that is history).
Of course, many Latinos were already in the Southwest, with families being here for hundreds of years. Many saw that it didn’t matter so much if the flag was Spain, Texas, Mexico, or the United States. They lived their lives. Over time, they learned English. Most would say they made out better than their relatives to the south. If Latinos want to immigrate legally, and increase their influence, as they used to, there won’t have to be riots. They must disassociate with the “La Raza”/Atzlan crowd, and stay away from drug smuggling. If they cannot do that, there will be no peace, including for the assimilated Latinos, many of whom voted for Trump.
BTW, if Univision has to have female anchoresses, can’t they find some of those girls who star in the telemundo novelas? They are much easier on the eyes.
Mexico was just a Spanish colony. Spain attached northern regions like Texas, California, Chihuahua to their colony.
When Mexico became independent, Mexico became an imperial country with Texas, California, Chihuahua, and central America as their extra territories.
Even today areas like Chihuahua and Yucatan are not truly of the Mexican culture. This person in the OP is a Mexican imperialist.
Mexico was paid in GOLD, TWICE to give up all claim to the NORTH. Mexico accepted and gave up all claim.
So this is an admission it’s about invasion right? They’re ‘taking back’ what is ‘theirs’.
Sounds like the military should take care of it then. This notion that ‘history decides who should own what’ is absurd. Besides the fact that ‘history is messy’, difficult to know what is real truth vs. ‘victor writes the history’, the cold and hard reality is - you only own that which you can hold on to.
Every country in the world has had wars and invasions. The only truth is how things stand today and if you’re willing to go to war to change it. Here, this is a declaration of war.
The person is referring to the Viceroy (as in Vice Kingdom) of Mexico that resulted from Spain’s conquest of the New World. There were four (Mexico, New Grenada or Venezuela, Peru, and La Plata or Argentina). Each one of these viceroys was, by itself, the size of an empire. And, each involved, under the Spaniards, conquest and the subjugation and many Indian tribes. By historical standards, the Spaniards were among the world’s greatest conquerors. A lot of good and bad marked the period of Spanish rule in the Americas, in keeping with most of the history of mankind.
Upon gaining independence, the Empire of Mexico, and later the Republic of Mexico was constantly at war with its various parts. Most famously, these wars included the Texas War of Independence and the following war with the United States. But, their were other wars, including wars against the Republic of California, the Republic of the Yucatan, the Republic of the Rio Grande, the Central American Republics, wars against various Indian tribes such as the Comanche and the Navajo, and wars against France.
The argument that Mexico was unified, peaceful and prosperous before the U.S. pushed across the continent is so much left-wing propaganda. The left-wing lives in a complete fantasy world. I am sorry, but most left-wing people are so full of their indoctrination there is little hope of convincing them of their errors. We have to outvote them.
