That blond in the aqua-blue top on the La Raza side was obviously repeating what some college teacher or other Liberal influence said to her. When she stooped down to speak with the sane woman, she could only repeat the drivel that "we" invaded the Indians and "colonized" them and this is, therefore, no different. What she fails to understand is;

that was 300 years ago;

the continent was wild and sparsely populated;

the "natives" warred among themselves and had been for thousands of years before "we" ever came over;

"they" also came from somewhere else to start with;

both native Americans AND Mexico were compensated for the land;

And, finally,

the United States today is a beacon of freedom throughout the whole world and our taxpayer funds are used to help everyone in the world and have been doing so for a long time.

The legal immigrants that came to the U.S. did so BECAUSE we have a system that affords the opportunity to anyone who is willing to obey our laws, work hard and put forth the effort. It is NOT designed for the slacker, the lazy, the immoral or the ungodly. Expecting those who worked hard for what they have achieved to pay out the nose to support those who storm our borders, ignore our laws and take, take, take, is foolish. We cannot support all the needy citizens we already have, where is the money to come from for those that stream in illegally? Obama is largely responsible for this latest surge but, until Congress gets off its collective butt, the problem, I fear, is only beginning.

Thanks Jim and Syncro and all you other brave Freepers and patriots who dare to stand up and speak out about this blatant disregard for the laws of our land by our very own president. Good job!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! Our goal since the beginning has been to stop these flights of illegal aliens, many of them with contagious diseases, into San Diego. First we stopped the buses, now we have stopped the planes. Activism works!

BP Agents at the Murrieta station will now process illegal aliens in Texas remotely via internet and video instead of flying them into San Diego and releasing them into SoCal.

The protests today, July 10th, in Murrieta and Chula Vista are still a go. We still need a strong show of force to the Border Patrol leadership that we oppose their illegal alien dumping in California.

I went to see Dinesh D'Souza's film "America" last weekend. I recommend it; it is a decently done, layman's explanation that exposes the half-truths and lies that form the basis of the popular indictments of this country.

In the film, he first lays out the populist indictments against America, including those you stated. He then proceeds, using authoritative, non-celebrity, non-activist sources, to dismantle and rebut the indictments one-by-one.

So, to the claim that we took land from the native American tribes:
This indictment ignores the fact that the tribes lived under the Law of Conquest; warring and taking land from each other. How is it that they have any standing expecting another people from another place to treat them differently than they had been treating each other? Yet, we now do, and have for over a century.

America is not evil for instances in which we dealt with the tribes according to The Law of Conquest; America is good for NOT continuing to do so.

The land on which Mt. Rushmore sits is claimed by the Blackfoot. The U.S. Government has set aside funds for the original value of the land, PLUS interest, AND adjusted for inflation with which to pay the tribe for the land they no longer have. To this day the tribe refuses to accept the payment; choosing, instead, to wallow in sullen and self-righteous indignation, and brooding discontent.

Despite all of this, our native peoples are not living on the Earth as disgruntled, deported refugees in some foreign country; they live here still. They may not live on their ancestral land (granting their ancestors ever regarded any land as their own), but they have not been ousted from the country.

Also regarding "lost" land: there is the case of the nomadic tribes who never thought of the land as being owned, so it cannot now be considered to have been lost.

Now, as for the land in America that was once part of Mexico:
MEXICO -- NOT the U.S. -- chose to deal with issues in Texas and other southwestern regions according to The Law of Conquest. We met that challenge when we fought the Mexican American War, and the American Army captured Mexico City. In essence, we -- at that point -- "owned" 100% of Mexico.

NOW they're bitching because we settled the conflict NOT by killing every last one of them, but by a treaty in which:
We gave half of Mexico back to the Mexican Government?
AND paid for the half we kept?
AND assumed all of the debt that the Mexican Government owed to U.S. citizens?

REALLY?

America isn't evil because we kept (and paid for) a big chunk of what was once Mexico; America is good because we DIDN'T keep 100% of it.
