That's where My brother got screwed. The Ijido (sp?) tribe received title to the land on the Punta Banda sandspit in the late 60s from Mexico, in honor of some old treaty.
They leased parcels to Americans in good faith, but a few changes of government and greased palms later, Punta Banda was turned over to a couple of families who claimed the land prior to the grant to the Ijido.
The American leases were simply nullified.
As my brother says... "That's why they call it Mexico."
Greased palms being the key words.
Who can forget the post in which this Immigration Reform Bill was called a "present to President Fox?" How about when the bill passed and you chimed in with those who said they would never, ever vote for Bush?
You don't even have the decency to back up what you previously posted.
Which is another of the reasons why Mexico's fundamental laws have driven it into abject poverty: pinhead socialism married to 16th century oligarchy creating a corrupt dependocracy.
*whew* Got all that out. Read about it here: Ejido's Discussed
Maybe that's ejido? That has to do with the weird collective land ownership in Mexico. But dividing the ejidos seems to do no good either because then the peasants sell their portion and end up landless.
