Mexico owes the US boatloads of oil.

"many once part of Mexico"

Mexico stole all of its land from the indigenous pre-Columbian population. Mexico needs to take the lead and disband.

[dayglored]

I'm confused. Shouldn't this have a barf alert or something?

And my beeber is stuned, too.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think Smith has smoked one too many burritos.

[Bob]

Screw Mexico - we don’t owe them squat.

[pissant]

That’s a barf-up-your-large-intestine article.

[Secret Agent Man]

To the article writer: I totally disagree. You can leave for Mexico and apy off what you think we owe them, though. Feel free. See what it’s like to be a foreigner living under THEIR immigration laws.

Another guilt-ridden, self-loathing white nitwit.

Therefore he appears to be in favour of anchor babies & the imminent & growing problem of those illegals connected to that phenomenon.

[buwaya]

His points regarding US oppression of Mexicans are generally wrong, overblown, or at least highly disputable.

[Vendome]

Mexico has a synthetic pride unsupportable by any facts.

As I recall, being a Californian, Spain left 23 missions up and down the great state of California. That had zero to do with Mexicans or Mexican sovereignty.

Mexico needs to focus on developing a real history and a system that favors every Mexican through honest exchange.

[ABQHispConservative]

Wow, talk about white guilt. So, when is this guy going to donate his income to some Mexicans? Maybe he can also give away his house to some illegals.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

When the 14th was written, it addressed the recently freed blacks who were not able to enjoy the privileges (and immunities) of 'citizens', which should have been solved with emancipation.

A non-citizen coming to this country and having a child is essentially a mother giving birth to a non-citizen baby, nothing more.

Being here illegally, no matter how long, does not confer privileges such as a driver's license or social security number. If it did, why would a market for false IDs exist at all? The privilege of driving and working in the U.S. should only extend to citizens.(unless other arrangements have been made)

The billions in wages sent to Mexico each year may also indicate a condition of citizenship. The drain on local economies would seem to point to a loyalty directed somewhere else. The amount almost equals the oil-revenue from all of Mexico's output in any given year. Not trivial, yet very revealing.

[GeronL]

we owe them???

for breaking our laws???

[TigersEye]

What a pantload of Marxist racist BS.

[Once-Ler]

It is symbolic politics expressing special hostility to Mexican immigrants, who comprise almost 60% of the nation's undocumented population.

Conservatives are not hostile to Mexicans...
just their babies.

This legislation could help the GOP garner the .5% that would have voted for Tancredo in 2010 if he hadn't dropped out from lack of funds.

It is sometimes a bad idea to alienate voters with unpassable legislation that energizes the opposition and is easily characterized as racist.

Smith is a “useful p*ndejo”..
