The U.S. PAID $18.25 MILLION for that land! That’s the equivalent of $425.225 Million in 2004 Dollars. Nobody took it from them. We should have, but didn’t.
Later, in the Gadsden Purchase, we bought more land, in what is today southern Arizona and New Mexico, for another $10 Million, or the equivalent of $233 Million in 2004 Dollars.
Saying we stole the land is like saying we stole the land we got in The Louisiana Purchase. It’s a damn lie!
I would have no problem with giving San Francisco, part of New orleans and a few other choice places to the mexicans. In a few months they would probably run back to the border. He who has the fastest horse and biggest gun should always win.
It may be their land, but it's our country!
I can't imagine that Mexican immigrants, legal or illegal, would support any effort by the Aztlan ding-a-lings to turn the southwestern US into another Mexico!
Duh! That's what they are running away from!
It looks like they're taking you up on that.
I agree.

Many, perhaps most, Mexicans, and South Americans generally, are of indian heritage (Aztec, Mayan, other) who bred with the Spanish. The original Spanish invaders were of European stock, some with Moorish influence no doubt, but not presenting physical characteristics consistent with what we see in Mexicans today.
I think it is safe to say that their "homeland", to the extent it can be traced going back, say, 500 years or more, is Central and South America. Not north of the Rio Grande.
Are you prepared for what's coming?
It goes without saying that Bush on this issue is hopelessly stupid or hopelessly treasonous.
But of course bush runs with elites for whom the USA is a passing idea. The poor refugees are merely mirror images of the transnational elites with their passports jets and foreign bank accounts. These folk meet annually at places like davos.

Remember Lorenzo de Zavala, Secy of Treas, Mexico 1828, fled to the US and became Texas first Vice President. He had a lot of good things to say. But the point you make is good. I've asked many Indians here in Mexico if they would have preferred the Reservation treatment and Casino outcome, sure beats the poverty most of them experience in Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Ping...
As best I can, yes. I don't know if it will be enough.
Improvisational skills are all that's left beyond that, and I've certainly faked my way through a lot of tunes.
Course, usually nobody shoots you if you screw it up.
This could be a lot tougher crowd then I'm used to dealing with, so say a prayer for me that I might be able to pull it off. I'll need it, cause I am pretty damn rusty on my Rancho Grande.
Doesn't it feel great to know these people consider us trespassers on their land.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers
inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists'
abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees.
Here's an interesting new thread on new legal reform progress that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the
neighborly thing to do?
Yes and no. Are you saying these peaceful muslim er... Mexican border hoppers are going to do any more than do the jobs that we won't? How would it look to my friends in the Hamptons if I hired a white boy to clean my pool?
La Raza. The race. Racists... supported/sponsored by the left.
Nope, sorry honkey, as my mexican sidekick used to call me, it's just like the NAACP... you just go try to start a club to promote whitie... you'll get yer butt burned.
And so it is. Keep yer mouth shut and take it.
