That’s why Mexico its citizens into this area, so they can force a succession through mass numbers.
Spain exerted its hegemony over the natives and created a colony. The Spanish in Mexico had a revolution. So did the peeps in Texas. And on it goes.
Oh. It’s the New York Times. Of course.
I hope they try to take it back. I really do. It would be exactly the excuse we need to wage war against them.
The usual Hate the Republic bull from the new york slimes. Mexico, you got a problem commit suicide by attacking us.
Many of us are sick and tired of your bs.
A question, nothing intended by it. How/why should we be encouraged or whatever? Do you think B/T showed us something otherwise that would have not been seen? Just asking. Thanks.
Let’s play who’s the biggest victim!
It’s fun to watch the irrational conclusions brought about by that twisted perspective.
What exactly is keeping the NYT in business?
That’s a red oracle question, btw...
I sure wish they would agree to take back California. Tomorrow.
Always remember, the USA paid Mexico millions in GOLD to give up all claim to the land from the Rio Grande, and later the Gadsden Purchase.Mexico accepted these terms.
Always remember, if the USA wanted to, they could have kept all of Mexico since the Mexican government no longer existed or fled from Mexico for many months. Today’s USA border could have been Guatemala.
Instead Mexico is trying to make it’s northern border Canada.
With all due respect. This is posted from MEXICO. Last week at a birthday party, the chatter and talk around the table was exactly this. One of the political candidates for President is pushing this concept to rally support. Tis always ironic and a bit disconcerting to see people actually think that these issues can be solved in a court at the United Nations, or in Mexico City, without taking into consideration the people who live in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. Even in 1846...people should have a RIGHT to form the type of government that they wanted, without outside interference.
>>Three centuries before the ancestors of Mr. Trump landed on United States soil, there were Mexicans in that northern territory known as New Spain and Mexico. But neither they nor their descendants are even symbolically part of American national pride; rather they are objects of stereotyping or emblems of a disgraceful past that has remained, to a great extent, in obscurity. It is time for it to come fully into the light, to be recognized and vindicated.
You don’t get to be part of “American national pride” you don’t consider yourself to be fully American.
Hyphenated Americans are not Americans. You don’t get to pretend that you are capable of supernaturally being simultaneously fully Mexican and fully American. If you chose the hyphen, you chose poorly.
Remember the ALAMO?
“IT’S TERRITORY”?
Not any more!
Way back about 1972 or thereabouts, my junior year in college and needing an elective, I signed up for an Anthropology class; North American Indians. Turned out to be one of the more interesting courses I took. Anyway, one day the Proff got to philosophizing and stated “all borders are temporary”. For some reason her comment has stayed with me all these years. And, when this topic comes up it comes to mind. Anyway, read a book awhile back, “The Next 100 Years, George Friedman, 2010” that makes some interesting projections about the future relationship between the US and Mexico. It’s on Amazon and an easy read. If you’re interested in this subject suggest you give this book a try.
Prudence would suggest that reopening the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo with a real-estate developer who covets prime real estate like Cabo or Riviera Maya might not really be in Mexico’s best interests.
“Enrique”, you show us the same level of mind boggling ignorance and stupidity that your long ago countryman Santa Anna showed us when instead of forsaking his dictator ways against the Texas settlers inhabiting his country at his invitation he attacked them and butchered them at the Alamo and then executed hundreds of them at Goliad.
Then April 21, 1836, his pitiful Army was defeated at San Jacinto and rather than allow himself to be legally executed for his butchery of Texans, including many brave Mexicans that fought against him he gave up “all lands North of the Rio Grande”.
So, FY, and the New York Times for insulting us all with your sick and pathetic Liberal fantasies this morning.
We need another “apology” tour.
No. Next question.
