I am so FOR this legislation. Mexican friends have told me coming here and having lots of children born here are part of their program called Reconquista, and it is specifically to take America back without a shot being fired, and they are well on their way to achieve this unless some action is taken now. The 12 million or more Mexicans, already here illegally, I suppose their children born here will have to have an exception made, but future generations need to be cut off at the pass. It’s about time Congress started legislation that the people want, instead of all the programs (Medical reform, Climategate, gov’t ownership of private industry, etc., whose main purpose is to get into our pockets big time) being rammed (or should I say “Rahmmed”) down our throats.
For the most part the Reconquista folks are terminally stupid. Let's say we pulled out of that territory ~ and took our water with us!
Which, BTW, is very doable. There'd be 20 million people South of I70 with nothing to drink.
Worth remembering ~ the Russian claim starts somewhere in the San Francisco region and includes all the water courses back to the headwaters of the rivers draining into San Francisco Bay.
We acquired the Russian claim through the simple expedient of occupying California ~ the Russian claim, of course, had been on top of an earlier British claim that had not been exercised by UK.
It is arguable that Northern California was sufficiently separate from California to constitute territory not claimable by Mexico based on extension of claims made by Spain.
California is NOTHING without Northern California's water. Aztlan is a burning, nasty desert without Northern California's water.
