Keep in mind we wrested this land away from Spain and its successor state, Mexico, fair and square, by simply occupying it and booting them out. If sustained with enough gumption, these challenges come to nothing. But sometime, in the future, another fool much like the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" will agree that these claims are valid, and simply give away almost a quarter of the contiguous 48 States. Comes of not defending your borders.

--agree completely. And furthermore , the Spanish and the Mexicans had probably less legitimate claim on it than we do--also, we've done something with it better than erecting temples in which "volunteers" got their hearts cut out while alive--

Some very anti-semitic stuff from a site called La Vozde de Aztlan was posted here once for a nano-second. I don't judge Hispanics by this group at all.

But this sect Farah writes about is scary and dangerous.

Sheeeeeeettt..... They stole it from the Indians or at least tried to. Mexico "owned" that real estate for all of 25 years while Spain had "claimed" it for a longer time. No big deal if we wrested from them. We upgraded our side of the border while their side is a friggin mess.

"Get off this land!"

"What for?"

"Because it's mine."

"Where did you get it?"

"From my father."

Where did he get it?"

"from his father."

And where did he get it?"

"He fought for it."

"Well, I'll fight you for it."

Carl Sandburg

"And remember, these independence movements are never really about the creation of autonomous states. Instead, they are diversionary movements designed, ultimately, to destroy existing states – in the Middle East, Israel and in the West, the United States of America"

Exactly, Give them an Inch and they will take a MILE.

Ultimately extortion will not pay, God willing, but it will be then to late for people to realize that, after all, the US contract is a legitimate one to claim, for no matter where you stand it remains valid and millions of migrants want to have an opportunity to sign onto it. In that sense, ignoring the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo would be reversing history, all the past claims, including the Confederate South, abolition of slavery and the US consititution itself coming back into question.

The ripple effect of the "peace" process in Israel - which is nothing but a glorified pacifier and not true peace - could become unstable and accelerated throughout the world. No doubt a dream of the socialist international, finaly getting even for the sake of potemkin victims, causing true victimhood, profiting potemkin Robin Hoods.
