You need a history lesson bub. Seriously. The western land was earned in blood and money. Treaties were signed to acknowledge as much.

The fact of the matter is that after the Mexican American war we were nice enough to let the Mexicans keep Mexico. We could have annexed the whole country and solved this problem 150 years ago.

Kind like the Eastern land was "earned" from the Indians?

I'm not an advocate of reparations or anything, but I think it's insane to try and deny injustices and racism that plague the history of this great country. I think the U.S.A. is the greatest nation in the world, but that doesn't mean we didn't make a few mistakes along the way.
