“I was going to predict a Mexican. Theft seems to just be part of that culture. Warner Bros even created a Mexican mouse named Speedy Gonzalez who was known as the fastest cheese thief in the world.”
Remember the Mexican wrestler whose motto was “Lie, cheat steal”. Sorry all cultures are not created equal.
In researching my book, I learned the Cherokee settled in Texas...Mexican territory. Mexico gladly took their bribe and signed off the land. Hence the Indian Community of Mt. TABOR in current Rusk County. The Mexicans refused to settle the area because it was too hard!
After it was settled and prosperous, they showed up often enough to steal anything they could. The Cherokee even covered for the Texas Republic from invading Mexican thieves.
Now they want California etc....After all the work is done...
I say when they take it, leave it like the Confederate Cherokee left towns in the Civil War...burn it to the ground. Salt the wells.
Leave it as worthless as you found it. They should have done that before the trail of tears.
