Lived here for hundreds of years? Amazing longevity. They have had a couple hundred years and are not yet citizens? What gives? That is some major vacation/siesta time.
Vamoose. Or serve time and be escorted home. We Americans are reasonable people, but not total fools.
Apparently you are unable to read English. I will repost:
Why should Tejanos leave the country their ancestors fought for and which their families have lived in for hundreds of years?
In an English relative clause, "families" is the antecedent of "lived."
They have had a couple hundred years and are not yet citizens? What gives?
Tejanos are not citizens? Since when?
Do you really not know a single thing about the history of Texas?
That is some major vacation/siesta time. Vamoose. Or serve time and be escorted home. We Americans are reasonable people, but not total fools.
Translation: you advocate deporting and/or imprisoning American citizens for the crime of being ethnically Mexican.
Acquire a grip.
You completely misunderstand the situation. There are lots of Texans with ancestors who fought in all our wars because they were citizens.
They trace back roots to ancestors who lived in the area before there was a Texas. Texas was taken by military force. Under President James K Polk another war was fought that defeated Santa Anna for once and for all. General Winfield Scott in a combined arms campaign, invaded Mexico from the Yucathan and captured Mexico City and the Halls of Montezuma.
They were not forced to leave after the war, Texas is big, and the large ranches were not confiscated just because the owners were Mexican. They became Texans and their people still are.
