Correct.

And THAT particular Indian tribe took it from another Indian tribe, and the OTHER Indian tribe took if from a third Indian tribe, and so on and so on.

This righteous indignation on the part of the Mexicans is bogus, especially when you consider that "Mexico" was conquered by Spain, which got THEIR territory through war, etc.

As far as I can tell, the only covenant whereby anyone was deeded land is Israel, which was given that land by God.

And if Muslims don't like it, they can eat lead.

Actually, the mexicans didn't take anything from the indians in most of the southwest. In fact the mexican word for a large segment of the southwest was Apacheria because it was effectively owned by the Apaches, Comanches, et. al.
