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 ....

It is the land of Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah that the Mexicans claim we stole from them. We beat their butts in the Mexican-American War and  paid $15million for the privilege. Now they want to cry 'foul' and say we 'stole' it, losers. Here are some websites" \nhttp://www.boundless.org/2002_2003/features/a0000660.html\nhttp://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?aid=186\nhttp://www.barnesreview.org/The__Reconquista_-Mexico_s_Dre/the__reconquista_-mexico_s_dre.html\n\nThe following website is blocked by Y!A so copy/paste it and take out the spaces:\n\nhttp://www. azt lan.net/ la_gran_ marcha.htm\n\nYou are required to be a legal citizen of the USA or have legal documentation to go there since it is PART OF THE USA and Mexicans just can't STAND it because it's OURS not theirs. \nThey are so JEALOUS!! \n\nAZTLAN belongs to the USA!!\n\nAnd THEY can't have it !!!  LMFAO

I'd say that the majority are mestizo.  The rest are probably mostly of spanish descent with a small amount of other nationalities that have migrated there through the years.

No.  After the Mexican-American war Mexico ceded most of the land that makes up New Mexico to the United States.  The rest of the territory was purchased from Mexico (the Gadsden Purchase) around 1853.  The land remained a U.S. territory until New Mexico became a state.\n\nBTW, I think Billy the Kid was from New York originally anyway, so for him it's a moot point.

"Scary" isn't it ? I don't usually talk about politics or religion But your question is really a good one ! I'm not sure if we can fix this one. I study allot of history and if it does repeat its self we are domed !\n\nWhen the day comes I'll be looking for a spot in Old Mexico "Hell they're all here!!"

You mean, "Are Mexicans indigenous(sp?) to the Americas?" Yes, and no. The mexicans that are descendants of the Maya's and the Aztecs are. But, there are some Mexican's, like myself, that are of pure Spanish decent. There is a mixture though, now-a-days most Mexicans are mixed.

so how did you come to this conclusion. are you talking about native americans?

I know several people from Mexico, and they are proud to be Mexican. Yet people from Mexico dislike being called Mexicans in a context which indicates them as being stupid, incompetent, or "lesser" than another person or race (wouldn't you?). This is especially common in the United States. It's not right, but it happens nonetheless.

Well to tell you the truth I really disagree with both terms. I don't agree with them because they both neglect our indigenous background. Both terms are Eurocentric and where implemented by the U.S. So if you really think about it we have been label as either Latin Euro or Spanish but many of us are Mestizos and we must take into consideration the indigenous blood in us. I guess the moral of the story is that individuals should not be labeled to the convenience of others. Instead take into consideration your self identity and what really encompasses who you are and remember that individuals should also know why you are Hispanic, Latino, or Chicano.

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.

The scenario you describe could very well happen here.  Especially if illegals receive amnesty and are able to bring tens of millions more of their relatives from back home.  They will pretty soon become a majority - at least in places like California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.\n\nUnfortunately, most people refuse to look at history and learn its lessons.

Here in Arizona there are more "native" people per square mile that in any other part of the nation. I travel through 4 different reservations daily. The number of American flags you will see flying from homes is awesome. These people respect America and America respects them. These are law abiding people. You would be hard pressed to convince even a few to allow illegals into America.
