So for how long did the independent government of Mexico have even nominal jurisdiction over the American Southwest? For only 25 years, during which time Mexico City had no effective control, and the area slipped backwards by every measure until the arrival of the Americans. The Spanish inhabitants of the Southwest never transferred their loyalty from Madrid to Mexico City, because all they received from the turmoil-ridden Mexican government was misrule, neglect, and unchecked Indian raids.
Since then, how long has the area been under firm American control? For over 170 continuous years, during which time the former Spanish inhabitants of the region, all of this time American citizens, have prospered beyond the wildest dreams of the average Mexicans born in Mexico. To compare the infrastructure, roads, schools and hospitals of the two regions is to understand the truth. The Mexican government has been mired in endemic graft, corruption, nepotism and chaos from the very start until today. The ordinary Mexican peons have been trampled and abused, while only the rich elites have thrived. This is why millions of Mexicans want to escape from the country of their birth today, in order to enjoy the benefits of living in America that they can never hope to obtain in Mexico.
Yet because today Mexico is a corrupt third-world nation (despite having more millionaires and billionaires than Great Britain), we are supposed to allow any number of Mexicans from Chiapas, Michoacán or Yucatan to march into the American Southwest, and make some historical claim of a right to live there? From where does this absurd idea spring?
At what point in history did Indians and Mestizos from Zacatecas or Durango stake a claim on the American Southwest? Neither they nor their ancestors ever lived for a single day in the American Southwest. The Spanish living in the Southwest in 1846 stayed there, and became Americans following the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. There were no inhabitants of the Southwest who were marched to the border and driven into Mexico. It simply didn’t happen. The Spanish in the Southwest welcomed American citizenship, which brought stability, protection from Indian raids, and a vast increase in their standard of living with the increase in trade with America.
In summary, no current inhabitants of Mexico (or Guatemala, or Honduras etc.) have a legitimate claim on even one single inch of the American Southwest. Not one single citizen of Mexico is sneaking into the United States to reclaim the stolen property their ancestors were deprived of. Not one. They are invaders and colonizers, pure and simple.
It’s time Americans learned to appreciate the true history of our Southwest, as a counter to the currently prevalent fairy tales put out by groups like La Raza (The Race), the Brown Berets of Aztlan, MEChA (the Chicano Student Movement for Aztlan, whose symbol is a lit mecha, which means fuse, on a dynamite bomb), and other radical anti-American groups.
Excellent. You should write that up. You basically already did. That should be published
Thank you for that, brother.
Excellent as usual.
Thanks Matt for your magnificent summation
Good Job!
I admire the Mexicans that died
at The Alamo!
I've always thought it was one heck of a coincidence that the "reconquista" goals so closely parallel the benefits promised to Mexico by Germany in 1917, as payment for helping spread WWI to North America. How far back would you say the roots of the globalist movement go?
