CA. Hispanic Candidate Speaks (Reconquesta)

Peter Camejo, a fluent Spanish speaker from New York who was born to Venezuelan parents, is running for governor under the Green Party. He is making a serious attempt to woo disgruntled Latino voters from the other two mainstream parties, especially the Democrats.

But Camejo's views on immigration certainly raise a few eyebrows. "We think that immigration is what made America great, especially the Mexicans," said Camejo, standing in the center of the banquet hall as it emptied in preparation for the Democratic dinner a few hours later. "This is a part of Mexico, this is territory taken from Mexico, and we're for amnesty for the people who are here."

I've heard lots of "reconquesta" talk from hisapnic activists......Now it's coming from a U.S. citizen (hispanic) running for Gov. of CA.

[wimpycat]

That's "reconquista".

Now it's coming from a U.S. citizen (hispanic) running for Gov. of CA.

Yes. For the *Green Party*.

I might consider giving California to the Mexicans, but only if England was also given Massachusetts. Our electoral vote and Senate situation would be greatly improved.

Now, any talk about Texas is a different matter. I would remind those folks of April 21, 1836 in regard to Texas.

You CA people better be vigilant. This jerk could wind up stealing your state for Mexico. All of Clinton's illegals will certainly vote for him.

I thought it was RE: con queso.

[wimpycat]

Or RE: con cueste

I think Republicans everywhere should mimic this and pat themselves on the back for brilliant strategy. We can call it...

"We're taking the Greens' issues away!™"

ROTFLMAO!

[EBUCK]

The pubbies better get on that right quick too. I've been watching the efforts of rats to steal back the issues that have just been stolen from them.....ooohhh the suspense is killing me! Who will end up with the hispanic vote?

"This is a part of Mexico, this is territory taken from Mexico,...

...and it's a damn good thing; otherwise, the pobrecitos would be crashing the fences to get from what is now Texas, N.Mexico, Arizona and California, in order to get to all that prosperity in Oregon, Utah, Colorado and Oklahoma.

Move Mexico north, move its inherent lackluster perforance, rampant corruption and concommitant poverty north. They are clueless.

LOL. Good One Sabertooth and probably not all that far from the truth.

What's their excuse for being in North Carolina and New York? What lies do they trot out? Many years ago I learned that 3rd worlders will tell any lie in order to stay here and fool idiot liberals and idiot Americans. They play on the guilt American have for being rich and Americans who think we stole the South West from Mexico

I remember years back all these Haitians were saying they would go back to Haiti once Jean Paul Aristede was put in power. It was a lie. No one ever went back

[wimpycat]

¡Que groserias! ¡Tonto!

[flamefront]

This is a part of Mexico, this is territory taken from Mexico, and we're for amnesty for the people who are here."

Hey, if its their territory why don't they just go ahead and grant amnesty to themselves.

Mexico's ownership ended with a war in the 1840s, the Gadsden purchase and the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo.
