we should just lease baja then, and boot the squatter off our land.
Mexico knows what they've got down there ~ the largest chunk of worthwhile undeveloped harbors on Earth!
Expansion of American port facilities would require massive projects incompatible with coastal views, estuary habitats, golf courses, and mansions and estates of the REMARKABLY RICH.

Isn’t it more the case that the Spanish quit investing in Mexico when they lost control of the place?
Its a smart thing to keep a log of those that call the investigators “nut jobs,” etc.
It helps in assigning credibility to their other comments.
Another thing, like non-biological geological oil and gas production, that Dr. Corsi is right about.
The spaniards were long gone by the time the US took over, but the missions were a unit unto themselves.
Several of them had foundries on site to manufacture what they needed.
San Luis Rey has a tremendous exhibition that draws on the rubbish pit they discovered just a few years back.
It’s difficult for them to believe that the people we elect are in the pocket of the puppet-master. Obama just does it so blatantly that many are now seeing the light which is really a good thing...but that’s only if he doesn’t get another four years. I believe the left are working up to a civil revolution - I’ve got great concern for the country in 2012 election time as we’ve got a socio-path in the WH.
PS: nummerous = numerous.
Texas becomes a problem if they don't improve both their rail, pipeline and road connections to the rest of the continent.
In fact, without some interest in enhancing infrastructure they become, so to speak, just another Mexico or Guatemala.
Fascinating history; I know Spain sent an expedition to intercept Lewis & Clark before they could reach the Pacific. I guess they had great foresight as to what would come next, though the blow would fall on the newly independent Mexico instead of Spain.
Oh, my. I think that's about the time the Spanish figured out what was going to happen but by then it was too late. Mexico was inspired ~ and kicked 'em out (only to replace the old authoritarian regime with a police state).
Lot of irony in Perry giving the TTC contracts to a Spanish company.
I’m already pretty well educated, thanks. I don’t suppose that tinfoil-hatters talking down to me is going to encourage me to listen any further.
I’ve never really understood the fear of a “world government”. It’s impossible. Can’t be done, even if it ~was~ a good idea (which it isn’t) it simply cannot be done. Mankind is too basically tribal. A global government would be fighting an unending global insurgency, and in the end be utterly ineffective at whatever they were trying to accomplish.
Even before the Spanish American War there were indications the Spanish were willing to hand over their entire empire for a pitifully small price. They simply weren't up to keeping it running.
In a counterpart to the US/Spain relationship the Brits have had a very interesting long term relationship with Portugual.
I am not, however, a specialist in Spanish diplomatic history, or even much of their history after the 1500s. Recently I've been looking into their involvement in Virginia ~ their agent ~ with a "version" of my own surname set up boundary markers at sites that also carry a "version" of my surname ~ and he did so at a time when the first Swedes (with my surname as well) were "casing the place" from the St. Lawrence to Florida.
There's been quite a bit of archaeological work done on a couple of old Spanish sites further South and that work has improved the timeline such that I think I'm actually looking at one and the same man doing work for the Swedes, and for Spain, and maybe for United Kingdom.
You'd frequently have a sea captain from one country do an exploratory sale for a different country, and end up selling his information to yet other countries.
There weren't all that many educated folks in the Americas at that time so if you wanted someone to survey something you probably had to hire the guy who worked for the other guys and who could get along with the Indians as well.
I believe that you're on to something here. The "leaders" certainly don't want to take "NO!" for an answer when regarding amnesty. They need to mix Mexicans into the US to enable the North American version of the European Union to occur. It's just another step in bringing about a world government, which is seemingly an eternal goal of power-hungry thugs everywhere.
Perhaps a trial is in order first. We have to keep in mind that it makes little sense to shoot (or hang) the messenger. It might tick off a few statists if their plot is revealed, but there seems to be things within the Wikileaks data that the citizenry of the US may need to know.
The fact that the government sent letters to federal employees instructing them to NOT read Wikileaks ought to raise the level of concern at least a little.
The reason is that you can't remember all of it, so to do your job you need to avoid distraction.
I know that back when I was at my peak in writing regulations I stayed away from rules ~ even on lottery tickets. They were a distraction that really did interfere with my job.
For better or for worse, the mexican drug wars must be making this impossible to happen
