Good for you, SOS. Just keep it peaceful-like.

I don't think the "and will be again" is ambiguous

California is practically owned by Mexico already. No one in a position to do anything about it is seriously trying to stop it.
The liberals don't want borders anyway. They'll tear them down inch by inch, like they destroy everything, by slowly blurring the lines.

The artwork was created 12 years ago by artist Judy Baca and commissioned by the city.

Controversy or no controversy, this is the type of thing that happens when cities (read: your tax dollars) have the ability to "commission art."

As an artist, I totally buy the "ambiguity of the 'they,'" argument -- it makes people think about who "they" are, and, in the grand scheme of things, who the original, "theys," were.

That said, divisive social and identity politics are so much hogwash -- from either side -- no matter who the "victimized" social group is: the poor, blacks, women, immigrants, white males, poor-me Christians -- whomever. It's all just whining.

We have only to look at Canada with its Quebec problem to see our own future - a large entity called Aztlan within the USA.

"This land was Mexican once, was Indian always and is, and will be again."

Just out of curiosity what would Mexicans do with "This land" if they ever got hold of it?

Just taking a look at the Third World villages they ran away from conjures up images of future slums and ghettos where once stood condos and suburbs.

MIDI - MEXICO

(musical intro)

Way down there, they are all planning to leave
Load the van, they'll drink tequila and heave
The U.S., they'll drag down and they won't grieve

Oh, Mexico
The country is a hellhole of corruption, we know
We'll be so screwed if we don't stop the flow
Illegals from Mexico

Liberals want voters so that they can win
One world dream...this is how they will begin
We must share...that's because, we all are kin

Oh, Mexico
The country is a hellhole of corruption, we know
We'll be so screwed if we don't stop the flow
Illegals from Mexico

With them they're bringing a boatload of drugs
In our streets, you can see grandma get mugged
Leaders, hey --- we are really getting bugged

Oh, Mexico
The country is a hellhole of corruption, we know
We'll be so screwed if we don't stop the flow
Illegals from Mexico

Oh, Mexico
The country is a hellhole of corruption, we know
We'll be so screwed if we don't stop the flow
Illegals from Mexico

We've had it, Mexico
We'll make your people go
We've had it, Mexico
Big buses in a row
Your whole darn nation blows

We've had it, Mexico
We'll make your people go
We've had it, Mexico
