I heard this on a radio news show, they say they want to take America back, starting with Colorado. I am just curious as it made my jaw drop when I heard it. Thanks.

Technically, Spain at time owned the area from Texas all the way to California and all the way up north to Oregon. When the Mexicans won their independence from Spain in 1823, I believe, they inherited what was then New Spain or as its known, "Nuevo Espana". And yes, it did include Colorado. But in the 1840s, America wanted to expand all the way westward and Americans were moving to modern-day Texas. The Americans wanted Texas to become American. Mexico actually encouraged American immigration to the region because of two major reasons. The first region was the Texas territory of what was then Mexico was underpopulated with a few missionary outposts. Second of all, the citizens they had in the area the more government revenue they could have gotten. The allure of the Texas territory was the gold rush. However, the Mexicans had one caveat about American immigration to the region. The Mexicans outlawed slavery. The Americans felt that since they were paying taxes to the Mexican governnment that the Mexican government should just mind their business. (Sounds familiar)\n   Fast foward, Mexico sent troops to the Texas area to keep the Americans in line. The Americans fought against the Mexicans and defeated Mexico at the battle at the Alamo. Mexico had no choice but to give Texas its independence. It is important to note that Texas was an independent nation. Later the Americans bought about 1 million acres from Mexico called the Gadsen Purchase. It is also important to note that Mexico's hold over the far-flung reaches of their possessions north of the Rio Grande was weak at best. \n But the United States won the New Spain territory or after Mexican independence, New Mexico via the Mexican-American war. Technically to say that America belonged them isn't true as Spain only colonized Mexico in 1509. Simple subtraction find the western US belonged to Mexico(1848-1823) only 25 years. It belonged to Spain for (1823-1509) 314 years.

1) <Know it all> The Quote "In God We Trust" IS actually a metaphor for our currency, if means that we don't really get paid in anything worth of value except a paper with a scripple, basically an I.O.U, and it says that because as long as the Americans beleive in currency there will not be any problems with the economy- Completely irrelevant to this situation though\n\n I think America will fall eventually, and it can't be surely predicted because many things could be a factor to this. There is no true answer except opinions. Yes I do beleive America will eventually fall or at the least will crumble down to a smaller country but i doubt anytime soon. And the reason that America seems to reject God or God-like figures is because many people find it offensive to mix Religion with Government. And i suppose they have a point seeing as many people came to America to be freed from strict laws and religious beleifs in other countries. You must understand that America is a very diverse place and I really do hope that America does not fall because it , aside from any corruption and greed, is one of the greatest and most free countries, NO i'm not being patriotic, but you must understand that many rights are available here than in other countries, and even though America might seem evil and vile to many people, i'd rather live in a democratic fucked up countr rather than a communist one where our freedom is limited.....so yeah good question

Yes I have heard of this, and it scares me. The ignorance in this question is astounding. It's time for people to get over their apathy and denial and start paying attention to what is going on here. I've been saying for the last two months that this whole "immigration reform" treadmill debate and "bill" is nothing more than blanket amnesty and a thinly vieled way to open our borders wide up. And now not only is the truth coming out, but it's FAR worse than I even thought it would be.\n\nPresident Bush, with NO Congressional authority or public disclosure, signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America along with the president of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada. The plan is to effectively MERGE Canada, Mexico, and the United States into one super-state with an "common security perimeter." It's RIGHT there, hidden in plain site, on our own government website (http://www.spp.gov/).\n\nThousands of homes are going to be illegally seized, citing 'imminent domain,' for a massive North American super-highway that will eventually stretch from Alaska, through Canada, as far South as Chile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Texas_Corridor). It's going to be controlled by international corporations, and patrolled by International police.\n\nNorth American Union law and the North American Supreme Court are going to SUPERCEDE our own court systems.\n\nREAD the Council on Foreign Relations plan, which is already being implemented:\n\nhttp://www.cfr.org/publication/8102/\n\nThey call for all three countries to be fully integrated by 2010, and they also call for an additional "North American Tax" on EVERY  working citizen.\n\nOur ancestors DIED for American Sovereignty, and without telling Congree, and without the support of the American people, our government is giving that sovereignty away in the name of bullshit "national security," massive corporations, cheap labor, and world control.\n\nCanadians should be equally horrified of this.\n\nYour Prime Minister, Stepher Harper, is in bed SO deeply with the Bush Adminstration, the CFR, and mega-corporations that it's just downright scary.\n\nCanada even had their own recent bullshit "terror scare."\n\n17 "extremists" planned to blow up Toronto and behead the beloved Prime Minister.\n\nThey were arrested and not allowed to speak to anybody.\n\nThe Canadian government spent two weeks talking about their evil plan, with no real evidence to back it up.\n\nThen what happens?\n\nNews starts getting out that the case against these men is awful.\n\nWhat does Canada do?\n\nThey BAN the media, under threat of prison, from even mentioning the case.\n\nThe trial will be held in a secret location under a Canadian government tribunal, with their own hand-picked 'jurors" -- and the media will not be allowed access to any of it (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=worldNews&storyid=2006-06-13T001750Z_01_N12227558_RTRUKOC_0_US-SECURITY-CANADA.xml&src=rss)\n\nWhat will it take for people to end their denial and wake up to what's going on around us?\n\nAmerica, and soon the entire continent, is falling to straight-up tyranny.\n\nAnd because our government is hand-in-hand with the corporate mainstream media, everyone assumes it's not happening.\n\nOpen your history books.\n\nThis is nothing new.\n\nIt has happened time and time and time again throughout history, and it's happening as we speak.\n\nYour choices are simple:\n\n1) Educate yourself, and do EVERYTHING in your power to let others know what is going on.\n2) Maintain an "I'll believe it when I see it" attitude, and finally be convinced when it's too late to change things.\n\nAnd it's pretty obvious what will probably happen next.\n\nThe United States is going to be hit by another massive "terrorist attack," maybe multiple attacks at the same time, and then FEMA

That is the best thing I have heard in a long time. Unfortunately some nut ball leftist will try and have it overturned. Until every Town, City and State decides that Yes, we will obey the laws of the land and prosecute and penalize anyone that assists any criminal activity, we will continue to be infested with crime and leaches. I truly hope that we can end this criminalization of our civilized society (what's left of it) and then once again become the Proud Patriotic law abiding citizens that the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA stands for.

We had a chance at annexing Mexico once, but the issue at the time was slavery and the Northern Free States were afraid of being superceded by the Southern Slave States in the Congress. So, we left the country alone and only took the land we believe we were entitled to, which was the South West including California. To take over Mexico now would be a very bad idea. Best to settle our own affairs and help Mexico in a better fashion.

I read your link and its unbelievable i knew our freedom was being taken away but i had no idea it was anywhere near that amount and for  whose benefit  are all   these laws and legislation's .I havn`t noticed that we`re any safer for them  .The government are turning into tinpot dictators who want to control every aspect of our lives ..Your right in your question its the first bit of sense i have heard in a long time too , its time people got out of the comfort zone and opened  their eyes to whats going on I think people should give the liberals a chance i can`t see how they could mess things up more than these lot who want us to be like stepford wives

After what happened at Ipperwash, the OPP are being a little bit more reserved, especially considering all of the media attention Caledonia is getting.\n\nWe need to get back to public order, similar to Oka Quebec. bring in the military to control the situation, then work on a peaceful solution.\n\nRottontothecore: does this mean we should give the entire North America back? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.?!?!

"I, I don't have a whole lot of time. Um, OK, I'm a former employee of Area 51 video tape imbedding project. I, I was let go on a medical discharge about a week ago and, and... [chokes] I've kind of been running across the country. Damn, I don't know where to start, they're, they're gonna, um, they'll triangulate on this position really soon.\nOK, um, um, OK, what we're thinking of as, as aliens, they're extradimensional beings, that, an earlier precursor of the, um, space program they made contact with. They are not what they claim to be. Uh, they've infiltrated a, a lot of aspects of, of, of the military establishment, particularly the Area 51 and.\nThe disasters that are coming, they, the military, I'm sorry, the government knows about them. And there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin moving the population to now. They are not! They want those major population centers wiped out so that the few that are left will be more easily controllable."

Umm...no.  First of all, the United States has never stolen any land from Mexico.  We won a few wars.  We made the peace agreements.  Mexico legally signed their lands over to us.  And this all occurred close to 150 years ago.\n\nThe notion that they're going to take Texas and other Southwestern states "back" is ridiculous.  People are coming over the border to find work as there is very little in Mexico.\n\nAnd, even for a minute, the Mexicans are trying to take land "back" from the US, we would declare war on them before any of that would happen.  And then they would lose and they'd finally stop complaining.\n\nI don't think anyone should worry about that though, as the Mexican government can't seem to do anything correctly, anyway.

Five years ago, I would have said they were liberal liars who simply hated America.\n\nToday, I would say they're pretty much spot on.  Over the past 5 years, I have watched in horror as the US trounces human rights, civil liberties, and the protections of the US Constitution - and Americans still re-elected this President.  By a slim margin, true, but that even 50% of us still thought what he was doing was by any means appropriate is to me, perfectly disastrous.\n\nAmericans will never stand up for what it means to be American so long as they have bread and circuses - that is what Roman emperors called 'appeasement of the masses' - so long as they had enough to eat, and entertainment, the Roman citizenry allowed their government to get away with all sorts of atrocities.\n\nSounds familiar, doesn't it.  America.  What a waste of opportunity.

Well, Iraq is already in your hip-pocket. God Bless America. And you're obviously preparing for an invasion of Iran. God Bless America. Those pesky Venezualans keep threatening to keep their, I mean OUR oil from us so Chavez will bow to you eventually or prepare to be vaporized. God Bless America. Since you have split our nation apart maybe you could just seperate the red states from the blue states and call the red states Bushistan. And admit them to the Union as a seperate entity.

I agree with the comment about the first act on our soil is a crime.  And to wave their former countries flag about and demand ANYTHING is preposterous.  It is your former country for a reason, correct?  If it is your current country, here's your ticket.  If it is truly your former country, then for crying out loud ASSIMILATE!  I believe we were founded as a melting pot, not a storage shelf for your old icons and lifestyles.

Didn't they have HISTORY class where you went to school??!  I might remind you then, that our country technically is FOUNDED on immigration....if anyone deserves a free ride - it's the Native Americans from whom we stole their land!  I think the point is that they want the immigrants to actually get educated so we don't have just illegal immigrant bums wreaking havoc on the nation....seems logical anyway.

They have  been lulling America into a false sense of security for hundreds of years. I know that they are going to invade us and take back Boston. They might be digging a tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean. They is why its taking them so long. Any day now they will emerge from the subway stations in Boston and begin processing the people there. Ive been preparing for years. Ive got a basement full of ammunition, food, water, and beer. Ill be ready to lead the resistance when those dirty Brits begin their reign of terror.

Hope Canada is ready for the spread of population cutting through their wilderness. This use to be the Northern Woods And look at it now.   We should all get how many acres when this happens? I like Canada and we need more land-to please the world. And she is willing to share???? How nice. \n\nI am glad we get these government activity reports-than we all won't be surprised-bless those Minutemen.

"These immigrants are fighting to embrace this nation."\n\nThat is funny.  Of course, how did I miss it.  Waving a foreign flag, speaking a foreign language, demanding free services, bastardizing the National Anthem.  Sound like their trying to embrace this nation - in a war!\n\nI believe that this is going to backfire on them.  In California we need to stop electing these people who hate living in this country.  That's the only reason I can explain why they would boycott it.
