Unlike any other undocumented immigrants, Mexicans were here before any English speaking Immigrant. U agree?
Does it make u mad or sad?
Answer:
Indians were here well before the "Mexicans"........ The Mexicans had control over what is now know as... Four states.
One of the saddest things is that when we stole most of Mexico's territory fair and square in war, the treaty we signed said the spanish speaking people of the American southwest would ALWAYS be allowed to speak spanish - in schools and govt! The sad thing is not that humane provision, of course, but it's utter violation.
Remember the Alamo? A battle to allow Texans to remain slave owners.
Americans cannot get educated about their history in public schools - one more reason we homeschool.
And that matters why? Mexico has their own country, US has theirs. Your comment doesn't mean anything.
neither.. regardless of who was here first, we won the battle... Remember the Alamo?!?! ...
Ditto's on the homeschool Cassandra
before the mexicans were here, the indians were here, so maybe we should all be speaking their language and not spanish. How about that?
You are right about one thing, mexicans (ie indians falsely calling themselves Spanish) were in the state of mexico before the "gringo" Spanish colonization. But they were not here in what is now the UNITED STATES. So they should be deported.
When the Mexicans were in the area that is now called the United States of America, there was no America! America rightfully purchased the land so it doesn't belong to Mexico.
"Undocumented immigrants" is an insulting term and I resent it. 1st, "immigrant" means someone is LEGALLY immigrating, not being here ILLEGALLY! 2nd "undocumented" is just another form of ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINAL.
HOW DARE YOU!!!
Do you mean Spainards? Mexicans are from Mexico correct? I disagree with your statement, and it doesn't make me mad or sad, I'm really ambivalent about your question because there is not a lot to convince me about anything. You really need some more facts to support this argument and claim you are making, it doesn't make much sense.
No. Mexico lost the war and therefore lost the land. That is how things work. All of those Mexicans that lived in the Southwest after the Mexican-American War were given American citizenship and allowed to keep their Mexican citizenship.
And last I check...Mexicans weren't here first. Native Americans were. Mexicans are aboriginal/Spanish mixes. That doesn't make them native. But then you will say "Their ancestors were native to the land." Fine, great. Well guess what...60% of Americans have native American blood in their blood lines. We can argue that same fact. My family immigrated from Ireland. Their children settled in Texas. I have Commanche and Apache ancestors one both sides of my family. So guess what...I have just as much right to live here as any MEChA, La Raza, Aztlan racist does.
Of course not. That is like saying that Aztec Indians are more Mexican than Mexicans because they were in Mexico before the Spaniards came and before it even became Mexico. Do Mexicans sacrifice virgins to the gods at the tops of temples and cut their hearts out?
There were immigrants from all over the world fighting for land throughout the Americas, and that is the past, and that is the business of our ancestors, not our business here in the present. Today's borders and countries are what they are, and you are welcome to cross them legally and if you choose to break the law in any country you should be treated as a criminal.
Your question is flawed. How can you be undocumented in a country that doesn't exist? No law yet, no America yet. Which half of yourself do you want to send back to Europe?
While I'm not advocating illegal entry, it does make me sad that our country is so aggressively angry over the Mexican immigrants, and even the Mexican Americans (since most gringo Americans can't actually tell the difference between one or the other unless they start a conversation). Mexican Americans are not second class citizens. And as for that war we won against Mexico? We won it with the help of Mexican Americans! Check out the history of Juan Seguin.
PS - Just because someone wants to speak Spanish doesn't mean they're forcing you to do the same.
It makes me laugh.
it makes me sad for you. because the native americans living in the US AND mexico were taken over at virtually the same time by england and spain. so the "mexicans" you are refering to, as they exist today, were not here. those "mexicans" were native indians, just like OUR native americans in the US.
why is it neccessary to try and lift yourself above one group of people in order to feel better about yourself? why can't you just ask for respect and hope to receive it...rather than trying to rise above the group you disagree with...therefore only bringing yourself to the level you already hate.
hahahahaha, knee slapper. actually Columbus and the Spaniards was here first. if it was not for the Spaniards there would be no mexicans. read on history. you might learn something new. what is so hard to understand we don't want illegals in our country?
You are wright, they finally recover what belongs to them, the rest of USA is next step.
So, native indian Americans were here before Mexicans u agree?
I wish we could list what each culture has contributed to the "free world". The list of what the White man has donated would be long,Hispanic? Black? and the Indian would be? Only then would we see who has claim and who doesn't!
Unlike Mexicans, other immigrants are usually educated prior to moving to the USA. It doesn't make me sad or mad, it makes me laugh at how stupid some comments are from Mexicans. Sorry to disappoint you but there were many native tribes here before you Spanish slaves came over. ;-)
So what, they are still illegal now. It is America now get over it.
Somebody fed you a load of garbage.
by your implication, who ever was here at a certain point in history, say 500 years, owns the country? hey, why don't we say whoever was in this land 1000 years ago 'owns' the country, or 10000 years? your ideas are ridiculous, the fact of the matter is the U.S. owns this land, if mexicans don't like that, they can leave
minorities are only activists for their own cause
First of all. Please define what you think a Mexican is. You kinda want to piss on people speaking english. You are comprised of a bunch of Native American Tribes. Your so called Mexican army that tried to occupy parts of what is now the United States was just a bunch of drunks left over from the Conquistadors. (Spain if you don't know what they were) and if we had not whipped the Commanches you would still be chasing the buffalo and eating Rattlesnake. Yes we speak English and admit it. But you really don't even have a language. You try Spanish and do not do a very good job of it. Now as for undocumented immigrants, are you refering to the criminals whom have illegally crossed in to the Soverign Nation of These United States of America? We normally refer to you by several other names but never "undocumented". You want to be a Mexican then swim back across the Rio Grande and take your relatives with you. I can pick my own beans.
