Ahem.

If prior occupancy establishes title, surely the land belongs to the descendants of the various Indian tribes, not to those of the Spanish/Mexican invaders.

The Aztecs probably don't have much of a claim as they nabbed Mexico from other indigenous tribes which had already declined, such as the Mayans, Toltecs and Teotihuacanis (all supposedly preceded by the Olmecs). It's noteworthy how Mexican historians fizzle when one mentions this in response to their claims that they still own Aztlan. Mexico knows nothing other than conquests.

Ummmmm, the "Spanish/Mexcan invaders" as you put it ARE largely of Indian blood, but don't let the facts get in the way of your fantasies. If those coming in were pure-blooded Spaniards, a lot of your buds on this issue would not be half as concerned. "Atzlan" is a useful fantasy for leftist scum in professorial positions and for the "Racist-American community" (a small slice of our fellow citizens) and for certain portions of the "Gullible-American" community who want to slam the borders shut at any cost to ensure an America which "looks like them" but the immigration will continue and you know it will continue. The USA is simply a far better place to live and to give a family a future than is Mexico, which, until Fox's election was ruled for 70+ years by a gang of communist cutthroats and murderers and election fixers known as the Institutional Revolutionary Party.

Unlike "Atzlan", that is no fantasy. We (the US) are keeping California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas (they'll NEVER take Texas!) and all other territory aquired from Mexico BUT we are expanding the rich tapestry of the American people by adding a healthy influx from South of the Border of folks more likely than those at La Jolla, CA, or Darien, CT, to be socially conservative. When Roe vs. Wade is gone, check with the rest of us again. Until then, progress in that direction will continue apace. This will also dash the hopes of the more fashionable for gay marriages and whatnot. Tooooooooooo bad!

WHICH

of the various indian tribes? Continue peeling the onion, we shall discover that tribe has conquered and displaced tribe for millenia.

Land belongs to those who can and will fight to claim it as their own.

If we don't fight for it, we shall lose it, and deserve to lose it.
