Pierre I was born and raised in Albuquerque, and stating that the Southwest was part of Mexico is not pointless. It is a historical, and demographic, fact that there are millions of Hispanic Americans who’s ancestors were here long before Kit Carson, General Taylor, and President Polk brought the Southwest into the Union.
So according to you the fact that it WAS Mexico means that our borders should be open? So we didn’t win the war? All of that land is still Mexico?
These people own land, houses, businesses, serve in the military, go to school, church, college, and they simply do not fit your inaccurate, bigoted, and yes, racisit stereotype.
Which people? The people that have been there since we won the war? Are they Americans or not your choice? Is the fact that they have Spanish heritage mean they think that the Southwest is not part of the United States?
Why is it that your side of the debate can never argue points without throwing around insults?
Neither do I lack for other arguments, as you can see. When I say your positions are racist, I am merely being accurate. Dealing in Facts.
What is frightening is you actually believe you are dealing with facts. Which facts are those? That the hispanic population of the Southwest believes that they are not part of the United States? Are you sure of that position? Is that why they died on the Baataan death march? Btw careful about talking about that little walk…I have friends that were there.
What I see is that you have a serious problem distinquishing reality from your hallucinations.
If the Hispanic population really does believe that the Southwest belongs to Mexico that is more a confirmation of the worst actual racists taunts then an argument against them. I know better since I lived there for long enough to know that the natives are as patriotic as me.
Finally if all lands around the globe are to be turned over to the original owners we are going to have some seriously large issues. Is that what you want?
Do you want open borders? If not why not? If so then how will we support that belief since it is a fact of life that most of the folks coming across the border are coming here for the welfare state that we have become. Furthermore do you support slavery? If not then why do you support the same position of Tyson Foods, Mohawk Textiles and every single large farm using illegals. Do you think they are using them because they pay them the same as US workers?
