Consider this: Much of the American Southwest became part of the United States through the 1848 Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo after the Mexican war and the Gadsden Purchase in 1853. This February, a month before the new dual-nationality law, the Mexican consul general in Los Angeles spoke at a ceremony on the 150th anniversary of the treaty. He said, as reported in the New York Times, “Even though I am saying this part serious and part joking, I think we are practicing la Reconquista in California.”
Consider this: Also in February, the US. soccer team left the Los Angeles Coliseum after losing 1-0 to Mexico’s team and, as the Americans left the field, they were pelted with water bombs, beer bottles and garbage; when our national anthem was played, it was drowned out with booing, whistles and hoofing, most of it from Hispanics. A Mexican government spokesman suggested that such boorishness (to say no more) could be avoided in the future simply by not playing The Star Spangled Banner at soccer games. Hmm.

California was settled by SPAIN in 1769. The Mexicans ruled California from 1822 to 1848, less than 30 years.
I have utter contempt for the nation of Mexico. There is no other nation I despise as much.
