Didn't Mexico take the land from the native Indians?
Racist hypocrites.

It is also the Palestinian argument.

Man, how old is George Putnam now? He's been around all of my life. Used to watch his news shows as a kid, then listened to him on several LA radio stations. He just keeps going and going.

One addendum to this acurate peice. It is common to look upon the Mexican War of 1847 in terms of Mexico and the US today. But in 1847 the sides were much more equal. In land area Mexico approached the US. While smaller in population and poorer, there was no certainty that the US in its industrial infancy could project the military power to defeat Mexico, Mexico's regular army of 60,000 men was four times the size of the US Army. It had been in constant combat since the 1820s, while the US had not fought a European style adversary since 1812. Many Mexican leaders refused America's offer to buy California in 1846 because far from fearing war, they believed they could win, and recover Texas.

The U.S. did not steal anything from Mexico; the former Mexican territory was won by the blood of young Americans like the ones who fought World Wars I and II, Korea, Vietnam, and are now engaged in Iraq. The seven southwestern states are American land, not "their land." He was doing alright until this part. Under this logic Western Europe, Japan, and Korea should be American States.

I am so sick of this. If they want to live in Mexico, then live in Mexico. If they want to live in the USA, then quit griping, salute our flag, learn our language or go home. Be an American or not!

So I am not sure, should we let Mexico build casinos on our land or make the Indians hire their illegals to work in the Indian casinos to compensate them for our past bad deeds?
