Mexico owes the US boatloads of oil.
Mexico stole all of its land from the indigenous pre-Columbian population. Mexico needs to take the lead and disband.
And my beeber is stuned, too.
I think Smith has smoked one too many burritos.
Screw Mexico - we don’t owe them squat.
Warning: politically incorrect appellation ahead: RETARD
No he’s a Class A douche.
Another moron brainwashing our kids. And we pay him for that!!!
That’s a barf-up-your-large-intestine article.
To the article writer: I totally disagree. You can leave for Mexico and apy off what you think we owe them, though. Feel free. See what it’s like to be a foreigner living under THEIR immigration laws.
Smith doesn’t know as much about the historical situation in the American southwest as he should. He spews the Progressive version of history.
Basically, the Mexican government in the 1830s and 1840s didn’t care about the safety and welfare of its own colonists and ignored their pleas for protection from marauding Indians.
The Americans were flat-out better when it came to protecting colonists.
The Californios, Mexican colonists in California, weren’t effective businessmen. They took out loans from Yankees that they couldn’t pay back later. Most lost their property through poor business acumen, not by being swindled.
There are families in New Mexico who have owned their ranches since the 1500s. They are good citizens and I doubt any of them want the corrupt Mexican government back in New Mexico.
Another guilt-ridden, self-loathing white nitwit.
“Mexican colonists in California,”
There were no mexicans in California at that time, theywere all spanish!!
The spanish screwing indians created mexicans not only here but in mexico!
A mexican is a half breed that the ruling class in Mexico would love to eliminate!!!
MAJOR barf alert!
Therefore he appears to be in favour of anchor babies & the imminent & growing problem of those illegals connected to that phenomenon.
I disagree with your statement.
I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in California. So did my parents. The California we knew is long gone.
But I’m very familiar with the history of California and after Mexico declared its independence from Spain, there were Mexicans in California.
I have many friends who are Mexican, they are proud of their Mexican citizenship, and many are not of Indian descent.
The article does accurately describe how the US did take Mexican land and mistreated Mexicans. Question I pose to the author, are common Mexican people ready to forget and forgive the US for its past actions??? I don’t think so. Just look at the speeches of Latino advocate groups. Look at what our own universities and public schools are teaching them about the US. Thus is it wise for the US to import a huge poor population who has a historical grudge against the US. I don’t think so.
The author needs to read up more history and get an accurate assessment of human nature/tendencies. Because you give generous welfare and economic opportunity to people you have mistreated in the past does not mean you will create loyal citizens. Telling them we are sorry will not either. The only way Mexicans are satisfied is the US is beaten in an humiliating war with Mexico, the territories are returned and all gringos are kicked out of it.
My family has been in Southern California for over 140 years and there is no such thing as a mexican that isn’t spanish and indian mix!!!
There was nothing but spanish in Californis until the late 1800s except those that were offspring of indians that were screwed by catholic priests!
That is the definition of a mexican, thay are halfbreeds and second class citizens in Mexico!
