How can America own land when land is not theres to own?



Answer:
because the founding "landbuyers" of what is now the USA saw potential in the land that they bought; also, the American Indians didn't have a system in which they had titles that laid out their ownership of the lands so the first ever immigrants decided that they rule
The land they own the bought form the natives that yes was a steal buying it for hundreds less than it was worth...as well as buying land from Spain...Russia and other countries. All the rest of the land they went to war over..
This "question" is not logical.
We bought it or took it fare and square. Get over it. You lost.
bc like where ever your from our people took it. no matter where you are from not everyone wanted someone else to own that land. look at the problems south eastern europe and africa has w their ever changing geography from constant wars to this day.
LOL....funny----now stay on your own side of the border and contemplate how Mexico can own land when land is not theirs to own.
The Mexican - American war 1846-1848 - WE WON!!!! WWHHHOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The world recognizes its owned by the USA Jose.
Because we have the most nukes!
Posession is 9/10ths of the law.
The land is America. How can the color pink be a color?
because history says we own it. get over it.
Ok, vato loco, so tell me, who holds the deed??????
is this like the right to sleep under a certain bridge on your way home from some place that was not their own ?
Because of WARS!! Hispanics don't understand the concept of ownership, they are so full of themselves they can't get over the fact that most of them are ILLEGAL ALIENS!
Yes colonist did take native americans' land, but we paid them back with money. Native americans have speical rights in the Unithed States. They are allowed to hunt and fish without a license, wherever they feel like it. They are also allowed to set up their own laws, so they can build Casinos wherever they please.
yeah right we buy land from mexico
full of rocks nothing else

and now after hard works to build beautiful cities
mexicans want back what is ours...

Even for an hypothetical case we give you back
the land we pay for you going to ruin it
you can see good example how this people live
in some America City like"Arizona;Texas or California"
where there is an high concentration of latino people.
this is what you will see http://www.pahrumpvalleytimes.com/2004/0...

moral go back in your country and work like a dog
in order to build a better economy where you come from
do that for yourself respect and stop be an assholes!!
What are you saying?
Take a look at this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/england...

I quote: "England was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes its name from the Angles — one of a number of Germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries."

With that in mind I ask you: What makes England belong to the English? France belong to the French? The fact is - it all comes to possession. The United States acquired this land both by settling (taking/war) and by buying (yes, a good amount was actually purchased - contrary to what some people who don't know history have said). Those are the only two ways any group of people have claimed their land.

Simply because the United States did so more recently than some others doesn't automatically mean the Americans don't "own" the land. Age of possession isn't the determinant for national ownership - possession in and of itself is.
Simple. They take it over. It might sound bad, but if anything, they're doing that land a favor by bringing their lifestyle from third world to first class all the way. Everyone wants to be an American, but some people aren't willing to take the steps to get there.
you mean my name on the deed doesn't mean its mine?.........oh_hell
Ha, your a illegal aren't you? Trying the ole trick this is really our land. I got news for you, its not!
Your question is wrong.I am an American.I own my ranch,my home and my business in Arizona.My name is on the deeds no one elses.I own my piece of America.We as a nation own our country and the land.Id like to see you try to "take",or live on my land with out my permission,you would then find out that we in America do indeed own the land.
