Had Robert A. Heinlein been still alive, this item would have been perfect for his "Crazy Years" file. It might have appeared in one of his novels as a group of crazy Canadians demading the "return" of Washington State and (part of) Oregon.

1. Go back to your country, you won’t be illegal.

2. White people didn’t steal the country. Parts of it we bought. Other parts we won from indian wars. Other parts we bought from other countries. Your part we won beating your ass several times in wars.

When you win a war, you get to keep the territory. We didn’t steal anything. Your ancestors freaking lost it.

Arizona was a part of Mexico long before White people stole it."

This begs the question of why this particular "stolen" land is prosperous and the 750,000 square miles of Mexico proper are a craphole of poverty and corruption. It begs the question of why people bother coming to this "racist, oppressive" place in the first place. Why is America rich and Mexico poor? The Mexican race-baiters never answer that question except in the most vague terminology that somehow American having "stolen the land" somehow made the rest of Mexico poor, though they never explain exactly why this is so.

The truth is, if we ceded the Southwest back to Mexico, we would immediately face millions of Mexicans trying to cross the new border into Louisiana, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Oregon. THERE IS NOTHING MAGICAL ABOUT "THE LAND." What matters is the culture (not the race) of the people who inhabit it. A culture of liberty, private property, and the rule of law will be prosperous. A culture of ruling oligarchies and entrenched corruption will be impoverished.

Stole it? Guess if a white person buys a house and the Latino’s great grandchildren decide they want the house back, then whoever lives in the house must have stolen it. Is that how this works? Because, it’s the same kind of thing.

My grand grandparents ended up in Milwaukee. They needed to get sponsorship from my grand grandmother’s brother before they could enter the country.

Ms. Moldonano, a single mother, has been forced to move herself and her three children into a homeless shelter. "They treat us like crap her. We get cheap government food and are often cold."

And yet she's here because she considers it better than the pissant country she left.

[BradyLS]

...She was working at a restaurant and got fired after an immigration rade. "I am sick of people telling me that I am illegal," she states. Arizona was a part of Mexico long before White people stole it." Ms. Moldonano, a single mother, has been forced to move herself and her three children into a homeless shelter. "They treat us like crap her...."

I guess the Examiner doesn't have the cash for editors or even writers that know how to spell.

[BradyLS]

I LOVE the logic of the illegals! Ms. Moldonano, would you tell us who inhabited Arizona before "Mexico" came along? And where did those folks who carved "Mexico" come from?

Phoenix resident Maria Moldonado came to the United States three years ago. She was working at a restaurant and got fired after an immigration rade (sic). "I am sick of people telling me that I am illegal," she states. Arizona was a part of Mexico long before White people stole it."

There was a war.

We won.

Deal with it, Maria.

And you wouldn't want to be there if it was "part of Mexico."

Go home, illegal.

[Allegra]

You know, my grandfather came to America as an immigrant, and he didn't get ANY government food. And he ended up in Chicago, not Phoenix, so I bet he got a lot colder.

And I'll bet he didn't whine about his hardships, either. He just worked hard to make a better life.

I got an idea you border jumping, school system destroying, ER overflowing, property de-valuing, no insurance driving , ID stealing, Food Stamp swindling, job stealing invader..... can you guess what it is?

LOL. I stated here before that when a border State actually cracks down on the invaders - that is prevent them from getting free schooling, housing, welfare, unemployment compensation and especially employment( by nailing companies that hire them), they will self deport - perhaps to other States. The drop in crime, emergency services, school overcrowding, unemployment and government outlays will be so significant, that we will finally be able to beat the concept about the head of all Liberals: illegal aliens cost Americans money and jobs.

[GAB-1955]

The Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo was written in Mexico because the U.S. Army was occupying the country after the incompetent Mexican Army, led by a dictator and stiffened by Irish traitors, lost every battle of the war. Every battle. Brave Mexican soldiers lost their lives because the Mexican leaders were more interested in enriching themselves than building an army. Meanwhile, the U.S. Army built an officer corps under sterling officers such as Winfield Scott and Robert E. Lee, and led their troops to victory.

Just another amnesty, open-borders peddler. Advice to illegals: fix the hellhole that is Mexico whose flag you proudly wave.

Thank you for this timeline. How many of these "amnesty" protestors are aware of this history?

How many are aware that Mexico was also once ruled by an Austrian?

The comments at the Examiner are great!

Now that the media has to allow comments on their articles they don’t get away with as much nonsense as before.
