Most people say that the British may have wrote it for Mexico to join alliances with them and Germany but some said that the note was authenic from Germany.

First of all, it seems implausible that Britain would write the Note in a German code that they were just figuring out how to dechiper. And in 1917, Arthur Zimmerman himself confirmed that the Note was genuine, and in October 2005 an original typescript was uncovered.\n\nSo I'm betting heavily on its authenticity.

It's the date noted that Mexico declared it's independence from Spain... which technically occurred on September 15, 1810 but took the Mexican soldiers another 11 years to kick out the Spanish, French and English troops occupying Mexico.\n\nInterestingly enough, the major force of opposition was actually the French with the English and Spaniards quickly making deals and leaving.

When will we Americans wake up to the fact that Mexico is our enemy, not our ally.  In both WWI and WWII, and during the cold war, they sided, sympathized or abetted the enemy.  Now they are invading us and trying to use our legal system to justify it.  Seal the borders and kick the rabble out.

Well, our culture is most derivative of Britain's.  We adopted their common law wholesale, for example, and their language.  We weren't a Commonwealth country, but that is sort of just the way it worked out.  We have ties, for certain.\n\nGreat Britain and France are allies now, but historically they were enemies and rivals for a long LONG time.  I don't know if we just inherited that mantle as well, or if the abrasion between the French (or Parisians) and us is born of other things.  Clearly the French are highly offended by McDonalds in France, and growth of the use of the English language, however I think most of us just find that amusing.\n\nI think we don't consider them as true to their obligations as an ally as we consider Great Britain to be, and we reciprocate.  However, again, while the British don't all like us either, we have a lot in common in how we look at the world.  This probably makes our relationship easier on many levels.  \n\nHowever, I think Germany would be a closer ally as well, if it weren't now most focused on integrating into the EU.

I have an opinion and this is it:\n\nI, for one, would be honored of someone from another country or culture chose to learn about my history.  It is a matter of record and is learning the knowledge, anyway.  If you learn all about a topic,  particularly history that is set in stone so to speak and will not change, you can sure be an authority on it whether you are originally involved in it or not.  I think your ornery Englishman sounds a bit jealous and definitely pompous.

If there are any at all, their fake documents are very very good, and they have balls of steel.\n\nMore likely, the army would help them get legal residence.\n\nIn any event, if there were any, I'm for making them legal.

Have no clue. Maybe they're trying to bring Mexico here?

That's a very good point. The swastika was originally a (Native American?) sign of peace. Then that asshole Hitler had to go and fuck things up for everybody else.

They mainly served in germany, but their allegiance was to the crown.

They claim that they are agreeing with govt b/c it will allow the people over there to have access to their system.  But they are making money, so it is hard to believe what they say.

Since the letters were letters, there was still a written word.

What's the harm, when US is also part of Anerica and Mexico is also part of America? They are become the part and parcel of your society and enhancing your strength.\nYou must be thankful to them coming close to you.

This might have something to do with the Inquisition?  Spain was big on that stuff some time ago.

I think possibly due to the fears of being discovered in the country illegally.

No, who made the notes? I would find some different source of info

Hell, we got outside help in fighting the English for our independence.  One of my ancestors was a German with money who came over during the revolution and fought against the English.  After the war of independence, he decided to stay and married one of my direct ancestors who's family had already been in the colonies for 100 years. Sorry, I digress!\n\nSo you see, this help thing can work both ways. If you want off on Cinco De Mayo, you first have to get a Mexican to acknowledge they got help from the US against the French.   Do you think that's possible??? \n\nBoy, these Mexicans who still have jobs must have money to burn, if they can afford to take off work two days in one week, so they can attend their Mexican holidays.  I wonder if they will be waving the American flag to show their loyalty to the US on that day???
