Wasn't "Aztlan", as they like to call it, stolen from the Aztecs by the Spanish? Didn't Pizarro steal land and wealth in Peru from the Incas? Where do these idiots get off calling anyone "Thieves"?

You are right. Everyplace belonged to someone else. History is not static. And then there's manifest destiny. The Mexicans'manifest destiny was to rule Mexico. At least it was that of their oligarchy.

Absolutely - the 13 American colonies were 'stolen' from the locals by the British crown and were then in turn stolen by the British colonists. . . .

Bingo! Don't pay any attention to these inflammatory dolts. Most of their ravings can't stand up to two minutes' rational analysis. One would think that the Aztecs and Mayans spoke Spanish before the arrival Cortez and Pizarro. Seems to me that the Apache have rights to a prior claim on their so-called ancestral homeland. Victor Davis Hanson did a superb job of eviserating these racists in his book "Mexifornia." Every college and university has a coterie of such morons in every ethnic studies department. They're not intelligent enough to be accepted in disciplines with more rigid requirements, like remedial math, to cite one example. Just tell them that we'll give up the southwestern U.S. when they go back to Spain. These idiots always bring Edmund Burke to mind: "Men of intemperate minds can not be free, their passions forge their fetters."
