They are focused and determined to take back the Southwest which their children believe belongs to them.

I can't help but to shake my head whenever I hear Mexicans get all riled up about losing what is now the southwest part of the United States as a result of the U.S.-Mexican War. The country of Mexico had control over that parcel of land from 1821-1848, a span of only 28 years. I have neckties that I've owned longer than 28 years! Not only that, but when Mexico had control over this parcel of land, it was sparsely populated and largely undeveloped. I think that the main reason that Mexicans want this land back might have something to do with the fact that us Americans have made a few improvements to it, such as modern cities with tall office buildings, roads and freeways, bridges and dams, nice housing developments, shopping malls, schools, parks, and hundreds of thousands of thriving, successful businesses. I wonder if Mexicans would still be throwing a hissy fit about wanting this land back if it was still sparsely populated and largely undeveloped like it was back in 1848?

You nailed that gist of the reason why many Mexicans want the American southwest.

Well...you're right of course. And when I speak of them having a plan...their plan is simply population. Whites were at near zero birth rate at one point in time while Mexicans continued to populate every country in the free world, especially America. Now they want our paved Walmart parking lots to throw their diapers and beer cans. What's worse is that Walmart and Home Depot depend on them for twenty-five percent of their business. They come across the border not respecting which side of the isle to walk on in stores, not respecting our traffic rules, not knowing any rules. The men rape and murder but their President resents his murdering criminals being put to death. We need a plan. I think the plan could start with the United Staes military. Never mind the Border Patrol whose members speak the same language as the lawbreakers. Nobody needs to speak a foreign language in America.

All the Mexican border cities only exist because of the US cities on the other side. Without the US they would wither and blow away. Ten years after Mexico takes over San Diego will look just as shitty as Tijuana. Then they like the Borg will be off for a new place to ruin.
