I completely agree. To all you morons saying we stole this land, and they were here first, I have this to say: Pull your head out of your ass, and get a clue. It does not matter HOW this land became The USA, all that matters is that it IS the USA.   No one treats the Mexicans like criminals, only the illegal immigrants, because they are in fact criminals.     I know not ALL of the Mexicans feel like this, but there is a large group talking about taking back this land, and some other non sense, well that sounds like they are trying to wage war to me. While the flag flying may not be treasonous, surely trying to wage war is.  The complete lack of common sense by certain people on here never ceases to amaze me.

We were already occupying Vera Cruz in 1914.  I have the photos from a family diary of US Naval landing parties there. I think Back Jack Pershing was already in persuit of Villa on both sides of the border.  Remeber the Mexican Civil War was in full swing at that time.

I agree with Jessica!!!! And, YES, some of the property on the border is owned by ranchers!! The ILLEGALS cut their fences, and trash their land as they cross into Arizona!!! The Minutemen group are in the process of building a fence, since our government REFUSES to help these ranchers!!!! Let's ALL send a brick to congress!!!

I started poking around the site and found some of the other things about NAFTA, FTAA and SPP.  It really is scary that so many people do not understand what is happening to our country.  A lot of people will call you a bigot or a hate monger if you say something about illegals.  I really have more of a problem with the government lying and saying they are doing something about the illegal immigration.  The fact is, they let it happen because it is part of the broader plan to make Canada/United States/Mexico one economic entity.  This will at some point lead to one country.  And they sit there and say you are unpatriotic if you don't support the war in Iraq!  In the meantime they are stabbing the American public in the back and selling them down the river.  I must reiterate, I don't hate the illegals.  I hate those that have let our borders turn into a "free trade zone".

It is a very touchy subject because yes they shouldn't be allowed to come over and be over here illegally, but at the same time them being illegal doesn't mean that they should be allowed to be taken advantage of and exploited by greedy business owners.  And for the "the U.S. used to be Mexico" argument, that is lame because almost every piece of land was at one time owned by different peoples, we took it just as people have been taking land since the beginning of time.

they lost a war, and with it, any claim to the territory they run around calling "Aztlan" today, all the while waving a Mexican flag stupid logic.\n\n\nWe bought it from their  conquerors.

Don't know where you read your history, but you need to go back over it. The US has poured tons of money and food into Haiti. Your own government stole most of it, and your people asked everyone NOT to help and specifically the US NOT to be there. Now you want to complain we didn't do anything? For shame on YOU!

The U.S. doesn't have an official language as such ... but we should have!!  And present day Mexicans have no claim whatsoever over any part of the U.S. ... even the Mexican constitution acknowledges where the border is drawn, and what belongs to Mexico ... and having read their constitution, I didn't find one reference to California or New Mexico or whatever they want to claim belongs to Mexico ... we have to deal with the realities of TODAY ... not the realities of hundreds of years ago ... at the same token, Russia could then claim Estonia again ... Sweden could claim the ports of Germany .... and on and on it goes ....

Thank the pro-hispanic lobby on this one, what it largely seems to amount to is a 'shotgun wedding' between the US and Mexico, and american taxpayers are supposed to buy off on all this garbage and not bat an eye. Since the reverse effect is happening, well it kind of shows that the GOP's head and hind-quarters aren't very well connected anymore, or one has lapped the other, something like that...what this also brings to light, though, is all these other 'programs' that give money away all over the place, Matthew Lesko's dream-come-true, and the taxpayer's worst nightmare, wealth redistribution in the worst possible sense. I think if we're going to help Mexico, it needs to be a lot more metered, and done AFTER the border's nailed shut, so as to minimize the negative impact on american communities. I think when the House finally gets around to consulting the voters on this one, there's going to be a general consensus going back to washington that basically says 'fix the border, and forget the rest of it'. It's a nice idea to try and help others, but if that 'help' is just going to get abused, there's not much point to it. Necessity's the mother of invention, and a lot of the people that originally settled the United States didn't get much 'help', because there wasn't any. Let's not have any more of this 'give away the country to appease your 3rd world business partners' garbage....Mexico could be rolling in money(some already are, they just don't share out) and feed, clothe, and educate every last one of their citizens, probably just off their oil revenues, but instead they'd like to ride the american guilt trip into a split-level condo...time for voters/taxpayers to wake the hell UP and say 'no mas' at the polls, come november...

I'm having a hard time following the premise of your question.\n\nYou state..."It was Mexico that made the deal to sell off the southern states."\n\nThis is historically unfounded. The American states of the Deep South (Mississippi, Alabama, etc.) were all a part of the original territories of the United States, formed before Mexico achieved independence.\n\nOther Southern states like Louisianna and Arkansas, etc, were carved from the Louisianna Purchase which was negotiated between the US and France.\n\nThe state of Texas achieved independence as a result of war with Mexico. (Again, Mexico "sold" nothing). And the states of the American Southwest were taken from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. (Mexico didn't "sell" them).\n\nThe only portion "sold" to the US was a tiny sliver of land in southern Arizona, known as the Gadsden Purchase. \n\nThese things being the case -- can you clarify you point, please?

They got back what they said was stolen from them!Back around 1947 me thinks! Good Luck! Its only these superstitious groups of simpletons who think this way,The united States would control all of Europe and all the islands in the pacific,Philippines,Japan,the list can go on and on.You people need to work this out without this superstition or the US should take all your land and end this stupidity.I am beginning to think,after reading this bullshi* that all religion is evil because you all think the other is bad wrong and evil.LOOK IN THE MIRROR! Nobody owns anything this place is Gods!

It's an item now because it is getting worse. You may not be aware that Mexican Army units make about 100 illegal incursions into the United States every year, sometimes to escort drug runners into the US.  This is a huge problem and to speak out against it would undermine the Administration's irrational and inexplicable infatuation with Vicente Fox's corrupt regime and that crap piece of garbage called NAFTA.  The Mexicans are a huge problem that is getting bigger and at one point or another are going to have to be confronted point blank whether the Administration wants to or not.  the very sovereignty of the United States is at risk, and the Federal government by refusing to properly address the issue is defaulting on its obligation to defend the country.\n\nYou will be hearing more and more about this and I would  not be overly surprised if at some point in the near future open warfare breaks out between the US and Mexico.\n\nITEM:\nMexican Army Invades U.S. \nPhil Brennan, NewsMax.com\nWednesday, March 12, 2003 \nIt’s the war nobody wants to talk about: well-armed Mexican soldiers storming across America’s southern border, sometimes with guns blazing.\n“We are in state of war,” Edward Nelson, chairman of U.S. Border Control, told Soldier of Fortune magazine. “And we are fighting enemies who have brought the battle to our shores. If ever there was a time for the United States to put troops on the border, it is now.”\n\nA blockbuster exposé in the magazine's March issue notes that over the past five years, there have been 120 documented incidents of Mexican military/police incursions, sometimes resulting in the arrest of Mexican army personnel on U.S. soil by Border Patrol agents.

Excuse me? The Battle of the Alamo was fought for Texas independence from a brutal dictator named Santa Ana. Those 187 men sacrificed themselves to buy General Sam Houston time to train   a bunch of farmers.merchants ,mountain men and Indian fighters into a proper army.\n Speaking as a Mexican/American, no one is trying to take over anything.Look around us here. You can't throw a rock  without hitting a Mexican /American.\nWe just happen to be the largest growing CULTURE in the nation. Stop beating a dead horse.

Sheesh, and I thought the Russians were bad with the "We thought of that first" business! It isn't bad enough that you're trying to get into America illegally and take all the benefits that the citizens have all worked for? They come from our taxes, you know! You're trying to tell us that tvs could be manufactured cheaper down there? Now, you're trying to take our tvs away from us? We're not going to stand for this! it's an outrage!
