Answer:
Yes, they are Mexican Americans
I am not sure but look at the state of their states
Why not?
But there is no such thing as a Vice Governor. Cruz Bustamante is Lt. Gov. of Ca,.
What is your point?
So what's your question? Who cares where their relatives descended from?
you just answer the question. They are Mexicans too. :-(
They didn't run and hop over the border that's why.
he will not win. if Americans feel a president will not do for this country they will not win. we all know he is for illegal mexicans.
Everything you are saying still does not the change the facts about ILLEGAL immigration. You are just trying to change the subject.
It is not about race as you are trying to make it. It is about being legal.
People from Mexico are great!. Great culture , great food ! We just want them to come here legally.
And that matters how? Are you suggesting race would stop someone from being in a position of importance in America? How many Whites are in power in Mexico? Gee, America seems more open and unbiased, don't it.
Another example of what you can become as a legal American. Please post this in spanish so the paisanos can see this fine example of American success.
Bill Richardson is an American with Hispanic ancestry on one-half of his family tree.
Bill Richardson is an honorable man.
I know this to be a fact since he is a close personal friend.
Now tell me what the point was to this.
I am from new mexico and most people dont like him because he is for illegal immigration. and most people here are naturalized spanish-americans. he sucks.
