My father's family left their home in Germany in 1931 because they saw the writing on the wall as far as Hitler rising higher and becoming very dangerous to intellectuals. They knew that The United States was the only place that they would ever be happy in if they couldn't live out their days in their homeland.\nMy mother's family is Nez Perce and all of the rest of us came after her people....

This is just a guess. You may try with the Mexican government as many of the Spanish came there from Mexico and not directly from Spain.

"Finally to the Northwest." is not a sentence. Incorporate it into the rest of the prose. And whose or which Northwest are you talking about? And who is "they"?\n\n"Because of the lack of water and fertile soil in the Northwest, natives to the region had to grow plants able to survive the semi-arid conditions. These plants included the vitamin-rich edible nopal cactus and the maguey, or agave, a plant from which a type of Mexican liquor called mezcal could be made."

Hey Man! You are thinking of that hand painted black velvet thing that use to cover the holes in their living room wall with! Dude!\n This for the acclaimed "wetback" that does not know history.\n In 1519, the native civilizations of Mexico were invaded by Spanish troops numbering about 600 soldiers, who brought with them superior weaponry and old world diseases. Early Conquistadores was Hernán Cortés, who entered the country in 1519 from a native coastal town which he renamed "Puerto de la Villa Rica de la Vera Cruz" (today's Veracruz). Contrary to popular opinion, Spain did not conquer all of Mexico when Cortés conquered Tenochtitlan in 1521. It would take another two centuries after the Siege of Tenochtitlan before the Conquest of Mexico would be complete. The conquistadores (conquers) were just that! A bloody murdering army out to plunder.\nThe first successful settlement in North America was English FAMILIES, not armies, 125 years after Spain attacked south and central America.

I have a lot of friends from Pueblo.That doesn't change the fact that they are illegal.Some I taught English to and they taught me Espanol.There are even some that I helped set on the right foot towards citizenship.You know as well as I do that you should have gotton your citizenship by now.Those that I helped are on their way.I'm proud to call them Americans.A friend of mine from Ecuador just recently returned from the Gulf Coast.So it's not only Mexicans that Cross the border.It' not only you that we are trying to curb it's all of South America.Not only do we have an influx from you but from all over the world.Drugs,illegal weapons,female slavery and a host of other cancers that we can't see yet cross with those illegals.We have to secure our borders,all of them.If you are serious seek an Abagado.I think that's how you refer to an Attorney.I have friends from all over the world seeking citizenship the proper way.WHY CAN'T MEXICO AND YOU.GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND I MEAN THAT

I am not sure where you read that.  I can see whites and Mongolians, but negroid?  Where did you read that?  Mexicans are a mix of native Indians and Spanish.  Mexico has had a lot of migration throughout the years.  Have you ever traveled there?  There are people from all over Europe, Jews, Chinese, Americans even Polish to name a few.

They are not here because when the Aztecs occupied  Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico,  they were forced out by catastrophic events some huge storm from the pacific, and a great drought forced them to migrate further south, they ended up in the valley of Mexico in 1193 A.D.  Just type in ( origins of the Aztec people) and scroll down to No. 2 from Mississippi to Mexico, it will tell their story.

First of all just so you know my background is German, Irish and English my wife is Dominican (Spanish speaking). I can only think of two things. 1) They are ignorant! 2) Mexico is one of the largest countries, so it is more noticeable. Plus, how can anyone say that Mexicans are taking all the jobs when other Americans won't even do that type of work? I appreciate them, 'cause if it weren't for them then the fields of fruit and veggies would not get picked. I'm from CA and now I live in NY. There are so many other immigrants here too. At one time Western United States used to be Mexico and the "White Man" took it away. People are just plain ignorant or stupid. Don't let it bother you, hasta

I have tried to search on various sites, but everywhere it says "somewhere in Mexico". Seems quite strange. I looked up in many of the news articles but to no vain.\n\nTry contacting them by email.

American.\n\nIf you want to be called Mexican-American, it is up to you, but my family isn't going to start calling ourselves 'German-American'.  We are just Americans.

Mexico City (Spanish: Ciudad de México) is the name of a megacity located in the Valley of Mexico (Valle de México), a large valley in the high plateaus (altiplano) at the center of Mexico, about 2,240 metres (7,349 feet) above sea-level, surrounded on most sides by volcanoes towering at 4,000 to 5,500 metres (13,000 to 18,000 feet) above sea-level.   The mountains arte knwon for the large vocanoes found there. Meseta de Anáhuac (Valley of Mexico), completely surrounded by mountains. On its southeastern side, two usually snowcapped volcanoes, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl, are both well over 17,000 feet high.\nThe two ranges that surround this region are the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental.

Unfortunately or not, illegal immigrants can't claim the land that is no more theirs by now, after 158 years. And there hadn't been trapped any Hispanic population in the US after the Mexican Cession, so this 'ancestry lark' is on infirm footing. This situation reminds me of a very bitter period of Hungarian history right after WW1, when Hungary was ripped apart by other bordering countries and the diplomatic corps of the winner nations, and was reduced to its one third, so it lost 72% of its total area, by courtesy of the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. These annexed parts form the bulk of Slovakia, a large segment of Romania (Transylvania) and knobs of Slovenia, Austria, Croatia and Serbia. 64% of Hungary's population found themselves outside the hamstrung homeland. Still, we can't assert our rights to the lost areas, though 5 million of our fellow Hungarians still live beyond the borders and we don't plan 'reoccupying' these areas.  I think Mexicans go overboard, compared to this example. And the problem is that the Mexican government doesn't give a hoot to stop the exodus of illegal immigrants to the US, thus the States is to swallow the bitter pill.

The best thing you can do is learn to speak spanish! You will need a language credit if you plan on going to college anyway. Yes explain it is rude, because it is. Lots of non-americans do this and it is rude. I hope we pass a law that English is the official language of the U.S- I was shocked to hear it wasn't but Spanish as a second language for anglos is a reality we are going to have to live with and is here to stay. As far as Cali turning into Mexico that will never happen. Here is some food for thought..... Most of California was at one time land belonging to Mexico. (along with most of texas, arizona and new mexico) When Santa Ana lost, the land was taken by the U.S.(literally taken, soldiers and rebels going up to houses and farmsteads throwing the occupants  out by force saying this is ours now get out, but hey that is what happens in war) -- along with thousands and thousands of acres that formally belonged to Mexico. The U.S. is a nation of immigrants, and your forefathers immigrated here too. You have to expect that the demographics of our country will continue to change over time. I do think something needs to be done about illegal immigration. I also think Mexico needs to do more to develop it's own economy and corruption problems so that Mexicans would not be derperate to come here. If it weren't for those illegal immigrants, however, you would be paying $18 a pound for tomatoes and lots more for things like hotel rooms, all produce, restaurant meals and so on. If you are not liking the change in the population of where you live, this is America, nobody is making you stay here. You have 50 wonderful states to choose from, as well as any country around the world. This is something you will have to think about as you grow up.

If you are planning to stay on the North of Mexico, you should try visiting Chihuahua, it's a nice state. Sinaloa, Culiacan and Monterrey are nice places too:)
